Study of children's airways after viral lung infections
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at the airways of children aged 1 month to 6 years who had a serious lung infection with adenovirus or rhinovirus. Researchers want to understand how the infection affects the airways and why some children develop lasting breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 6 years old.
- Your child had a confirmed adenovirus or rhinovirus respiratory infection (detected by a nasal swab).
- Your child was either hospitalized at Timone Enfant Hospital or transferred there after diagnosis.
- If your child was not hospitalized at first, they must have breathing symptoms (fast breathing, wheezing, or low oxygen) that last at least 6 weeks after the infection and have certain findings on a lung CT scan.
- You are covered by a social security plan (or similar health insurance).
- You are willing to give written consent for your child to participate.
- Your child does not have another chronic lung disease (like cystic fibrosis) or a blood clotting disorder.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how rhinovirus (a common cold virus) affects children differently depending on their health and age. If your child is generally healthy or hospitalized with a breathing problem, they might be able to join.
This study looks at children hospitalized with bronchiolitis (a lung infection that causes coughing and breathing trouble). It aims to understand what makes some children more likely to get very sick. By joining, researchers can learn more about risk factors and how to help children recover better.
This study looks at how RSV (a common virus that can affect breathing) leads to illness in young children who come to the doctor with ear infections and/or breathing symptoms. It may help doctors better understand the “burden” RSV causes in both home/outpatient and hospital settings.
This study collects samples (like fluid from the lungs) during a planned bronchoscopy to look for new ways to understand and predict children's breathing problems. It might help if your child already needs this procedure for a medical reason.
This study tests whether giving a common cold virus (rhinovirus) to people with bronchiectasis and healthy volunteers can trigger a lung flare-up. It aims to understand how the immune system responds and what causes exacerbations, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
