    Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) can detect diverse pathogens in patients with central nervous system infection. Due to its high cost and unclear clinical utility, it is typically reserved for patients with unrevealing routine workups. A multi-center retrospective analysis of real-world CSF mNGS was performed involving orders between 2017 and 2022 at a large New England healthcare system. CSF mNGS was performed 64 times with 17 positive results (27 %). In 11/17 positive samples (65 %), the infectious agent had not been previously detected using routine methods. Arboviruses (n = 8) were the most frequently detected agents, particularly Powassan virus (n = 6). Results changed therapy in 3/64 cases (5 %). Positive results were associated with immunodeficiency (p = 0.06), especially anti-B-cell therapy (p = 0.02), and earlier sample collection (p = 0.06). The association with compromised humoral immunity was stronger in the arbovirus and Powassan virus subgroups (p = 0.001), whose constituents were older than the overall cohort and had higher mortality rates.

    Abstract The optimal diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 infection should be selected based on a patient's clinical syndrome and presentation in relation to symptom onset. Molecular testing, most often reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, offers the highest sensitivity and specificity during acute infection, whereas antigen testing can also be useful for acute diagnosis when rapid turnaround of results is necessary or if molecular testing is unavailable. Serologic testing is often reserved for identifying individuals with prior or late COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract Objectives: Recently modified 2-tier testing (MTTT) algorithms using 2 enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) as opposed to an EIA followed by immunoblot have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the screening and confirmation of Lyme disease. The Quidel Sofia Lyme fluorescent immunoassay is a rapid lateral-flow method that can be performed in real time, permitting on-demand testing. We evaluated the performance of the Sofia assay as a first-tier test in an MTTT algorithm.
    Methods: We compared the Sofia Lyme test with the Zeus ELISA Borrelia VlsE1/pepC10 lgG/IgM test, followed by the Zeus monovalent IgM/IgG EIA as the confirmatory test.
    Results: When used as a first-tier test compared with a standard Zeus MTTT assay, the positive percentage agreement was 91.4%% (95% CI, 77.6%-97.0%). The negative percentage agreement was 100% (95% CI, 94.0%-100%). The overall agreement was 98.3% (95% CI, 94.2%-99.4%). κ = 0.945, indicating "almost perfect agreement."
    Conclusions: The Sofia Lyme test performs well compared with an FDA-approved MTTT.

    Abstract Recent advances in antimicrobial resistance detection have spurred the development of multiple assays that can accurately detect the presence of bacterial resistance from positive blood cultures, resulting in faster institution of effective antimicrobial therapy. Despite these advances, there are limited data regarding the use of these assays in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients and there is little guidance on how to select, implement, and interpret them in clinical practice. We describe a practical approach to the implementation and interpretation of these assays in SOT recipients using the best available data and expert opinion. These findings were part of a consensus conference sponsored by the American Society of Transplantation held on December 7, 2021 and represent the collaboration between experts in transplant infectious diseases, pharmacy, antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship, and clinical microbiology. Areas of unmet need and recommendations for future investigation are also presented.
