Metagenomic analysis identifying a polymicrobial pulmonary infection in a non-HIV immunocompromised patient: a case report.

BMC Pulm Med

Central Laboratory, Liaocheng People's Hospital and Liaocheng School of Clinical Medicine, Shandong First Medical University, Liaocheng, Shandong, 252000, China.

Background: Polymicrobial pulmonary infections, common in immunocompromised patients, often manifest more severe symptoms than monomicrobial infections. Clinical diagnosis delays may lead to mortality, emphasizing the importance of fast and accurate diagnosis for these patients. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), as an unbiased method capable of detecting all microbes, is a valuable tool to identify pathogens, particularly in cases where infections are difficult to diagnosis using conventional methods.

pneumonia (PJP) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality during AIDS. In AIDS, the absence of CD4 immunity results in exuberant and often fatal PJP. In addition, organism clearance requires a balanced macrophage response since excessive inflammation promotes lung injury and respiratory failure.

Comparative Dosing of Adjunctive Corticosteroids Therapy for Pneumonia with ARDS in Non-HIV Immunocompromised Patients.

Infect Drug Resist

December 2024

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, 100029, People's Republic of China.

Background: Adjuvant corticosteroids are effective in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated pneumonia (PCP) patients, but the effectiveness of adjuvant corticosteroids in non-HIV PCP remained controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of standard-dose compared with low-dose steroids in non-HIV PCP patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Methods: This retrospective observational study included non-HIV PCP patients with ARDS admitted to the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital from 2015 to 2022.
