The International Conference on Pediatrics, Neonatology and Child Health, scheduled for March 26–28, 2026 in Singapore and Online, will feature an impactful in-person keynote by Prof. Shifu Wang, a leading authority in pediatric microbiology. His talk explores the rising clinical value of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in diagnosing severe infections among children.
🔍
Why mNGS Matters in Pediatric Infectious Diseases
Traditional
culture-based methods often fail to identify pathogens in time-sensitive
pediatric cases, especially those involving rare or complex infections. mNGS
offers a powerful alternative by detecting a broad spectrum of pathogens
directly from clinical samples.
Prof.
Wang’s presentation will walk attendees through both the expert
consensus behind mNGS application in China and the practical
steps required to apply this technology effectively in everyday
clinical scenarios.
🧬
Keynote Title
From
Expert Consensus to Clinical Practice of mNGS in Severe Pediatric Infections
📌
Key Highlights from the Keynote Presentation
·
Background on how China’s national expert consensus
on mNGS for pathogen detection was developed.
·
A clear breakdown of the core recommendations within the consensus,
including clinical indications and reporting standards.
·
Real-world experience in interpreting mNGS reports for severe pediatric
infections, emphasizing rapid, accurate decision-making.
·
Strategies for distinguishing true pathogens from background microbial noise,
reducing diagnostic uncertainty.
·
Practical discussion on common pitfalls such as contamination, sample
quality, and overinterpretation.
·
Insight into how mNGS enhances diagnosis in cases where
traditional tests yield inconclusive results.
·
The expanding role of mNGS in precision medicine,
antimicrobial stewardship, and acute pediatric care.
