Abstract:Pathogens detected by metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and the laboratory blood culture flask method were compared to understand the advantages and clinical significance of mNGS assays in the etiological diagnosis of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP). The study involved a total of 37 patients from the hospital’s peritoneal dialysis centre, six of whom were patients with non-peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis. Peritoneal dialysis samples were collected from the 37 patients, … Show more
