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 is a retrospective study (looking back at past patient records) of people hospitalized with pneumonia to understand how the disease progresses and what factors affect recovery. Researchers will examine medical records of pneumonia patients admitted within 72 hours of symptom onset to identify patterns in who recovers well and who develops serious complications.
This study observes patients with pneumonia to better understand which patients become very sick and what happens to them over time. Researchers will collect information about your symptoms, test results, and how you recover to help doctors predict outcomes and improve care.
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.
