Lung function risks after severe pneumonia in AIDS patients
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people with AIDS who recover from severe pneumonia later have trouble breathing. Researchers want to find risk factors so they can help prevent lung damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are HIV positive
- Your HIV has progressed to AIDS (CD4 count below 200 or you've had an AIDS-related infection)

This study is looking at adults with pneumonia to better understand how severe the infection is and how it may affect recovery. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about predicting outcomes for people with similar conditions.
This study looks at medical records from adults who have pneumonia with a confirmed germ, to better understand how the disease develops and how people recover. It may help guide future care decisions.
This study is for people with HIV/AIDS who develop severe pneumonia or septic shock. It uses a special genetic test (metagenomic next-generation sequencing) to find the exact germ causing the infection so doctors can choose the right antibiotic.
This study follows how community-acquired pneumonia progresses in hospitalized patients who already have serious health problems or weakened immune systems. The goal is to better understand risk and changes over time, which may help guide future care for people like you.
This study tests a technique that filters harmful substances from the blood of people with AIDS who have severe pneumonia or septic shock. The goal is to see if this filter helps them recover better.
This study follows patients who had severe pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) to understand how they recover over time. It aims to identify factors that affect recovery trajectories.
