Noninvasive Diagnosis of Infection Using Plasma Next-Generation Sequencing: A Single-Center Experience.

ABSTRACT: Pediatric patients frequently present with illnesses strongly suggesting infection, but without a clearly identified etiology. Our center has recently added a commercially available plasma metagenomic sequencing assay to its available diagnostic testing. Our experience with the first 100 tests suggests that this technology has good clinical performance with >90% sensitivity.
