mNGS Versus Blood Culture in FN

November 26, 2021 updated by: Xiao-Jun Huang, Peking University People's Hospital

The Comparison of mNGS Versus Blood Culture for Early Diagnosis of Blood Stream Infection During the Febrile Neutropenia in Patients With Hematological Disease

Blood stream infection (BSI) during febrile neutropenia (FN) is a lethal complication, while confirmed diagnosis via blood culture is usually with low sensitivity and time delay. The new technique of metagenome next generation sequencing (mNGS) has the potential of early and more accurate detection of pathogens. However, this technique has not been well validated for BSI diagnosis in patients with hematological disease. Therefore, we designed a prospective multicenter study to compare the diagnosis performance in BSI.
