2294. Evaluation of the Karius Plasma Next-Generation Sequencing Cell-free Pathogen DNA Test to Determine the Etiology of Infection and Impact on Anti-Microbial Management in Patients with Severe Neutropenia and Fever

BACKGROUND: Standard microbiological testing (MT) fails to identify a pathogen in most chemotherapy recipients with febrile neutropenia (FN), who therefore receive prolonged empiric courses of broad-spectrum antimicrobials (AM).
