The Application of Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing in Detection of Pathogen in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid and Sputum Samples of Patients with Pulmonary Infection

<div>mNGS detection of viruses in BALF and sputum samples. (a). Results of mNGS virus detection in 32 patients’ BALF and sputum samples: 13 patients’ mNGS results were allnegative (dark purple); viruses were detected in 19 patients. 10 patients (dark blue) were all positive, 7 patients were BALF positive (light blue), and 2 patients were sputum positive (green). (b) Virus distribution in BALF and sputum samples identified by mNGS. Abbreviations: EBV: Epstein-Barr virus; HAdV: human adenovirus; HCMV: human cytomegalovirus; HSV-1: herpes simplex virus type 1.</div>
