Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed data from HIV-infected patients with invasive infections in Hangzhou, China, over an 11-year period, identifying 26 cases primarily affecting middle-aged males.
- Bloodstream infections were the most common, and 27% of patients had multiple infections, highlighting the complexity of their conditions.
- Significant multidrug resistance was noted, with CD4 counts below 100 cells/µL potentially increasing susceptibility to severe infections.
Objective: The diagnosis of suspected opportunistic infections in HIV patients is challenging due to the wide range of potential causes. This study used mNGS to analyse specimens of suspected opportunistic infections in HIV patients from a single centre to explore this method's applicability as a diagnostic tool compared to that of CMTs.
Methods: We retrospectively investigated 46 suspected opportunistic infections in people living with HIV(PLWH) Hospitalized at Hangzhou Xixi hospital from January 2020 to August 2021.
