New genetic test could spot hidden lung infections in ventilated kids
NCT ID NCT04955821
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new genetic method (mNGS) to quickly identify bacteria causing pneumonia in 400 children on breathing machines. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a common and serious complication. By comparing mNGS results with standard lab tests, researchers hope to improve early detection and treatment. The study does not offer a new treatment but aims to gather knowledge to guide future care.
