The prompt diagnosis of pulmonary infections with unknown etiology in patients in severe condition remains a challenge due to the lack of rapid and effective diagnostic methods. While metatranscriptomic sequencing offers a powerful approach, its clin...
BACKGROUND: Respiratory viral infections pose a substantial disease burden worldwide. Spatiotemporal techniques help identify transmission patterns of these infections, thereby supporting timely control and prevention efforts. We aimed to synthesise ...
As a prevalent clinical condition, it is critical to distinguish between bacterial and viral respiratory tract infections given their pivotal role in guiding appropriate pharmaceutical interventions and preventing antibiotic misuse. Exhaled breath (E...
BACKGROUND: In hospitalized patients, inadequate antibiotic dosage leading to bacterial resistance and increased antimicrobial use intensity due to overexposure to antibiotics are common problems. In the present study, we constructed a machine learni...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Microbiological culture is a standard diagnostic test that takes a long time to identify lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study entailed the develo...
Significant efforts were currently being made worldwide to develop a tool capable of distinguishing between various harmful viruses through simple analysis. In this study, we utilized fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy as a ra...
Many studies have shown that infectious diseases are responsible for the majority of deaths in children under five. Among these children, Acute Respiratory Infections is the most prevalent illness and cause of death worldwide. Acute respiratory infec...
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) represent a significant global health burden, contributing to high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in vulnerable populations. Traditional methods for diagnosing and tracking ARIs often face limitations ...
At present, the diagnosis of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) is difficult, and there is an urgent need for better diagnostic methods. This study enrolled 136 patients from 2020 to 2021 and collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) spec...
