Are you using the microbial cell-free DNA “Karius” test to aid in the diagnosis of an atypical pulmonary infection such as PJP or NTM?

No, not at this time.

Intriguing, but not sure we know enough yet.

I ordered it once but it didn’t help in the diagnosis. The patient expired from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and sepsis.

It is an expensive test, so I won’t be ordering it routinely.
