Detection of Respiratory Pathogens in Parapneumonic Effusions by Hypothesis-free, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)
BACKGROUND: Species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of pleural fluid (PF) from children with parapneumonic effusion (PPE) has increased pathogen identification in pediatric PPE. However, a pathogen is not detected in 25–35% of cases. Hypothesis-free, next-generation sequencing (NGS)...
