Immunodeficiency and Suspected Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
The study patients are patients suffering from primary or secondary immunodeficiencies investigated in the Hospital Necker for a suspected infectious disease. The study purpose is to assess the performance of a High Throughput Sequencing method, the PATHOQUEST method (from sample preparation to bio informatic analysis), versus the classic diagnostic approach. The study will evaluate the capacity of the PATHOQUEST method to detect pathogens responsible for an infectious disease episode and will also evaluate the delay of obtention of results compared to the classic diagnostic approach.
Interventions
PROCEDUREBlood sampling / Body fluid sampling
During the hospitalization of the patient, when a sampling is done for classic follow-up and diagnosis, additionnal blood sampling will be done, for the PATHOQUEST method. Other body fluids might be taken (if the sampling is done for the classic follow-up), such as cerebrospinal fluid, ascite...

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Identification of pathogens responsible for the infection | 1 year | The primary outcome will assess the number of diagnostics obtained by the PATHOQUEST method and classic diagnostic approach. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Delay of obtention of diagnostic | 1 year | The delay of obtention of results will be compared to determine which approach allows an earlier diagnosis. |
| Economic impact of the PATHOQUEST method | 1 year | Comparison of the cost of the classic diagnostic approach and PATHOQUEST method, including cost of the hospital stay, microbiological tests performed, empirical anti-infectious drugs prescribed. |
