Pathogen distribution and infection patterns in pediatric severe pneumonia: A targeted next-generation sequencing study
Objective
Severe pneumonia in children represents a significant clinical challenge due to its high incidence and associated mortality. This study aimed to assess the distribution of pathogens and patterns of infection in pediatric patients with severe pneumonia.
Methods
This study included 110 pediatric patients diagnosed with severe pneumonia, who were admitted to Guangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital between July 2021 and November 2023. Pathogen-targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) was employed to identify respiratory pathogens in these cases.
Results
Pathogens were detected in 109 out of 110 cases, yielding a positive detection rate of 99.09%. Among these cases, 25 (22.72%) involved single-pathogen infections, while 84 (76.36%) were characterized by mixed infections. The infection pattern in children with severe pneumonia was relatively common with bacterial-viral coinfection (28.2%, 31/110). A total of 39 pathogens were identified from the 110 children with severe pneumonia, with the top three pathogens being Mycoplasma pneumoniae (30.91%, 34/110), Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus Type A (26.36%, 29/110), and Human Herpesvirus (18.18%, 20/110). Notably, 38.2% (13/34) of the cases were found to have macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP). Additionally, 40% (44/110) of the children required admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Conclusion
The application of tNGS demonstrates significant utility in the detection of pathogens in pediatric patients with severe pneumonia. The predominant pathogens identified in this study are Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus, and Human Herpesvirus. Furthermore, mixed infections involving multiple pathogens were observed in 76.36% of the cases, and a substantial proportion (40%) of these patients necessitated intensive care.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
