Usefulness of broad-range PCR plus sequencing for the diagnosis of bacteremia due to a lung abscess
Get PDFSummaryThe early detection and treatment of sepsis in patients is essential for a positive outcome. Microbiological analysis of blood cultures, as the gold standard for diagnosis, is rather slow. However, more rapid methods like PCR have become available recently and are being evaluated clinically. We present data from the monitoring of a patient with sepsis who was on anti-infective treatment. The patient was positive for Streptococcus pneumoniae by broad-range PCR and sequence analysis in a blood sample and resected lung tissue specimen, the latter embedded in paraffin, while blood culture diagnostics remained negative
