Popis: Summary: Timely adjustments of antibiotic and corticosteroid treatments are vital for patients with diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs). In this study, 41 DPLD patients with negative metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) results who were responsive to corticosteroids were enrolled. Among these patients, about 26.8% suffered from drug-induced DPLD, while 9.8% presented autoimmune-related DPLD. Following the report of the negative mNGS results, in 34 patients with complete antibiotics administration profiles, 79.4% (27/34) patients discontinued antibiotics after receiving negative mNGS results. Moreover, 70.7% (29/41) patients began or increased the administration of corticosteroid upon receipt of negative mNGS results. In the microbiota analysis, Staphylococcus and Stenotrophomonas showed higher detection rates in patients with oxygenation index (OI) below 300, while Escherichia and Stenotrophomonas had higher abundance in patients with pleural effusion. In summary, our findings demonstrated the clinical significance of mNGS in assisting the antibiotic and corticosteroid treatment adjustments in corticosteroid-responsive DPLD. Lung microbiota may imply the severity of the disease.
