Abstract

In the evaluation of community-acquired pneumonia, 30% to 60% of cases remain undiagnosed, despite extensive conventional microbiologic testing (CMT). Clinical metagenomics (CM) is an unbiased pathogen detection method that can increase diagnostic yield. Does adding clinical metagenomics to conventional microbiologic testing improve the diagnostic yield for pneumonia in immunocompromised adults? We performed a noninterventional prospective study of immunocompromised adults with pneumonia who underwent bronchoscopy and BAL over 2 years. CMT was performed per standard of care. A commercial CM test was performed on residual BAL fluid. Final microbiologic diagnoses were based on CMT vs CMT + CM. Final clinical diagnoses for CMT and CMT + CM were made based on laboratory results in conjunction with clinical and radiologic findings. Hypothetical impact of CMT + CM on management and antimicrobial stewardship was also assessed. A total of 30 immunocompromised adult patients (31 episodes of pneumonia) were included. Final microbiologic diagnoses were made in 11 cases (35%) with the use of CMT and in 18 cases (58%) with the use of CMT + CM. Bacterial pneumonia was diagnosed in five cases (16%) by CMT and in 13 cases (42%) by CMT + CM; fu...Continue Reading
