Atypical pneumonia in young children
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at children aged 1 month to 6 years who have pneumonia that has not fully gone away after 4 weeks of antibiotics. Doctors will study these cases to better understand atypical pneumonia (a type of pneumonia not caused by the usual bacteria) and how to help children recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at a urine test for pneumonia in children aged 12 to 24 months. It aims to see if the test can help diagnose pneumonia better, especially in those with symptoms like fever, cough, and fast breathing.
This study looks at how long the bacteria that can cause pneumonia and ear infections stay in a child's nose and throat. It may help researchers understand how these germs spread and how to prevent infections in the future.
This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
This study looks at how children's bodies fight lung infections and how the germs themselves behave. It could help doctors better understand why some children get very sick and how to treat them in the future.
This study looks at children with community-acquired pneumonia (a lung infection caught outside the hospital) to find early signs that predict how severe the illness might become. It aims to help doctors know which children may need more intensive treatment.
This study tracks cases of invasive pneumococcal disease (a serious infection) in children and newborns. It may help clinicians better understand how these infections happen and guide future prevention and treatment.
