Article Synopsis
- Predicting COVID-19 severity is challenging, but Torque teno virus (TTV) may help assess infection outcomes as a marker of immunity, especially in transplant patients.
- A study at Saint-Louis Hospital in Paris analyzed TTV levels in nasopharyngeal samples from 295 COVID-19 patients and found higher TTV levels in those admitted to the ICU compared to those discharged or in medical wards.
- Elevated TTV loads, specifically above a threshold of 2.91 log copies/mL, were identified as significant predictors of ICU admission, indicating a potential link between TTV levels and respiratory immune response in infected patients.
Background: Shotgun metagenomics (SMg) sequencing has gained a considerable interest, as it enables the detection of any microorganisms through a single analysis. Due to the limitations of standard microbiological approaches, the microbial documentation of liver abscesses (LA), which is crucial for their medical management, can be difficult. Here we aimed to compare the performance of SMg with standard approaches for the microbiological documentation of LA.
