Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University, Yinzhou People's Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang, 315040, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of herpesvirus detection by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) on lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) patients' lung microbiome composition and prognosis.
Patients And Methods: We initially enrolled 234 hospitalized patients with LRTIs who underwent BALF mNGS between February 2022 and May 2023. The study analyzed the clinical manifestations and the pulmonary microbial composition between herpesvirus detection (HD) and non-herpesvirus detection (non-HD) group.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania.

However, there are limited reliable data on the prevalence of LAM during pregnancy. The fulminant respiratory clinical presentation that often includes progressive dyspnea on exertion, cough, or hemoptysis, frequently complicated by pneumothorax, and the increased risk of spontaneous abortion due to increased estrogen and progesterone production during gestation, are arguments that most often make the diagnosed woman avoid pregnancy.
