Identifying infections in severe pneumonia using lung scans and bronchoscopy
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses lung CT scans and bronchoscopy images to quickly find the germs causing severe pneumonia. It may help doctors choose better treatments faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe pneumonia (as defined by Chinese guidelines).
- You had a lung CT and a bronchoscopy while in the hospital.
- You had at least one test for germs (like a culture or a PCR test).
- Your medical records show your age, gender, symptoms, treatments, and how long you stayed in the hospital.

This study is testing a new way to quickly diagnose severe respiratory infections and find markers that help doctors tell different types apart. It may help get you the right treatment faster.
This study looks at how bacteria in your body (microbiome) affect how sick you get from severe pneumonia. It may help doctors find better ways to treat people with serious lung infections who need breathing support.
This study looks at how well doctors can detect and identify the cause of new pneumonia in people in the medical intensive care unit (ICU). It may help improve how pneumonia is diagnosed and treated in critically ill patients.
This study looks at the bacteria in the lungs, infection patterns, and CT scan findings in people with COPD, asthma, or bronchiectasis. It aims to understand these conditions better and may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at how hospital-acquired pneumonia is diagnosed and treated in Chinese hospitals. If you have this type of pneumonia, you may be able to join and help improve care.
This trial tests a new way to predict how well patients with a ventilator-associated lung infection will respond to treatment. It uses two bronchoscopy samples to track bacteria levels and guide better care.
