Figure Lengend Snippet: Flow diagram depicting patient and sample selection for the comparison of BAL fluid mcfDNA sequencing with the Karius® test and standard of care testing.

Article Snippet: For each sample, the BAL fluid mcfDNA sequencing test report included the name of each identified organism, the number of microbial reads found for the organism, and the Karius® designation for the pathogenicity of the organism (see Definitions).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Additive diagnostic value of BAL fluid mcfDNA sequencing with the Karius® test (KT-BAL) compared to standard of care (SOC) testing in immunocompromised patients with pneumonia. A) Number of organisms across all samples identified by either SOC alone, KT-BAL alone, or both techniques, split by KT-BAL category. B) Organisms identified exclusively by KT-BAL across all samples, split by KT-BAL category.

Article Snippet: For each sample, the BAL fluid mcfDNA sequencing test report included the name of each identified organism, the number of microbial reads found for the organism, and the Karius® designation for the pathogenicity of the organism (see Definitions).

doi: 10.1101/2025.11.05.25339543

Figure Lengend Snippet: Patients for whom BAL fluid mcfDNA testing with the Karius® test (KT-BAL) identified Category One or Two organisms missed by standard of care (SOC) had significantly more cumulative intubation days compared to patients where KT-BAL and SOC were concordant for all Category One or Two organisms. Hospital length of stay, ICU length of stay, and ICU mortality were worse in the KT-BAL only group, but these differences were not significant (Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables, Fisher’s exact test for mortality).
