Multiplex PCR of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in children enhances the rate of pathogen detection

BACKGROUND: Culturing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is a commonly used method for pathogen detection in pneumonia. However, the sensitivity is low, especially in patients pre-treated with anti-infective agents. The early detection of a pathogen is crucial for the outcome of respiratory tract...
