Point‐of‐Care Testing by Multiplex‐PCR in Different Compartments in Suspected Lower Respiratory Tract Infection After Lung Transplantation—Results of a Prospective Study
POCTmPCR in nasal swabs and sputum may serve as an alternative to BAL for detecting respiratory viruses. Performance for bacterial detection in noninvasive samples was lower. The POCTmPCR system used lacks detection for SARS-CoV-2 and Aspergillus spp.
