Obtain the performance parameters and clinical consistency of mNGS and tNGS technologies in the pathogen diagnosis of lower respiratory tract specimens from patients with severe pulmonary infections, to provide a reference basis for the application value and true performance of these technologies in the pathogen diagnosis of patients with severe pulmonary infections.
Compared with pathogenic mNGS detection of lower respiratory tract airway secretion specimens, pathogenic tNGS detection can further shorten the detection time.It can more accurately analyze the pathogen composition of the patient's lower respiratory tract infectious diseases and identify the diagnostic results of the pathogen of lower respiratory tract infections.It also has a very high accuracy in identifying atypical special pathogens such as fastidious bacteria, fungi and viruses.
This study plans to enroll patients with severe pulmonary infection admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, and collect samples of alveolar lavage fluid or sputum specimens collected by the airway specification from the patients will be sent for testing of mNGS and tNGS, the results obtained from different methodological tests will be compared and analyzed, and the clinical data of patients (including basic information of patients (including gender, age, height, weight, past medical history, etc.), traditional pathogen testing, G/GM experiments, blood routine, PCT, CRP, CD4 lymphocytes, IFN, IL-6, IL-2 and serum antigen detection, clinical antimicrobial drug use, imaging examination, etc.) will be collected through the electronic medical record system. The test results will be analyzed and compared with the clinical condition of the patients, and finally the detection performance of mNGS and tNGS will be obtained.
