Abstract:PURPOSE: To use targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) of pathogens for analysing the etiological distribution of secondary infections in patients with severe and critical novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), to obtain microbial epidemiological data on secondary infections in patients with COVID-19, and to provide a reference for early empirical antibiotic treatment of such patients.
METHODS: Patients with infections secondary to severe and critical COVID-19 and hospitalised at the First Affiliated Hosp… Show more
