<scp>COVID</scp> ‐19 Infection Confirmed by Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Metagenomics ‐Next‐Generation Sequencing Instead of Pharyngeal Swabs in Follicular Lymphoma: Three‐Case Report and Literature Review
Therefore, for immunocompromised patients, especially those with B lymphocyte deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, and low expression of IL-6 in peripheral blood inconsistent with clinical infection symptoms, mNGS for BALF should be performed as soon as possible in this particular condition to confirm the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection.
