Clinical evaluation of metagenomic next-generation sequencing for detecting pathogens in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected from children with community-acquired pneumonia

This study is to evaluate the usefulness of pathogen detection using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) specimens from children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We retrospectively collected BALF specimens from 121 children with CAP at Tianjin...
