TABLE 3.

Impact of mNGS on antimicrobial treatment for patients with PJP.

Modifications [n (%)] PJP patients (n = 122) Non-PJP patients (n = 67)
Antimicrobial treatment change 109 (89.3) 50 (74.6)
Add TMP-SMZ only 43 (35.2) 4 (5.9)
Add caspofungin only 16 (13.1) 0 (0)
Add TMP-SMZ + caspofungin 15 (12.3) 0 (0)
Add agent 56 (45.9) 45 (67.2)
Remove agent 0 (0) 1 (1.5)
No change 13 (10.7) 17 (25.4)

TMP-SMZ, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; remove agent, the number of antimicrobial agent types reduced after the report of mNGS results; add agent, the number of antimicrobial agent types increased after the report of mNGS results.
