Abstract
Aim: To investigate the impact of human herpes virus (HHV) carriage on lung microbiota, and its correlation with clinical features and laboratory indicators in patients.Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 outpatient lung infection cases, which were divided into HHV (n=15) and non-HHV (n=15) groups. mNGS detected microbial composition. Microbial diversity and abundance were tested using Shannon and Chao1 indices. Their relationship with laboratory indicators were explored.Results: Significant differences in microbial abundance and distribution were found between two groups (p<0.05). Moreover, HHV group showed negative correlations (p<0.05) between Prevotella, Porphyromonas, Streptococcus and basophil/eosinophil percentages.Conclusion: HHV carriage impacts lung microbiota, emphasizing the need for clinicians to pay attention to HHV reactivation in outpatient lung infection patients.
