Study of complications from flu and lung Aspergillus infection
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks closely at how influenza (the flu) and a specific kind of lung fungus called Aspergillus affect people who are sick in the ICU with breathing problems. It may help doctors better understand the cause and improve treatment for severe lung infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be admitted to the ICU because of serious breathing trouble
- Have a confirmed flu infection, OR have pneumonia with testing showing there is no flu
- Consent to join the study (or have consent given if required)
- You cannot be pregnant to join

This study aims to detect invasive lung aspergillosis earlier by testing samples from your lungs and measuring specific lab markers. It may help doctors start the right antifungal treatment sooner when the infection is suspected.
This study looks at whether repeated PCR tests for a fungus called Aspergillus fumigatus (in blood or lung fluid) can help doctors track how well treatment is working for a serious lung infection called invasive aspergillosis. It is for people who already had a positive PCR test at diagnosis.
This study is testing a new blood or fluid test that may find drug-resistant fungus in people with a weakened immune system who have a serious lung infection. The results could help doctors choose the right medicine faster.
This study looks at different types of fungi that may cause serious lung infections in patients with weakened immune systems in the ICU. It aims to find out which fungi are present and which antifungal drugs can kill them.
This study looks at how chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (a long-term lung infection) affects your daily life, health, and overall well-being. By joining, you'll help researchers understand what it's like to live with this condition.
This trial looks at how a type of white blood cell affects lung inflammation in people with severe influenza. It may help researchers find better treatments for respiratory failure caused by the flu or other infections.
