Fungal pneumonia risk score study
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is developing a tool to better predict fungal pneumonia in people who come to the emergency department or hospital with pneumonia. By analyzing samples from your lungs and other data, researchers hope to improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You are in the hospital or emergency department with pneumonia, confirmed by chest imaging and symptoms.
- A lung fluid sample (like a bronchoscopy or suction tube sample) was taken within 48 hours of arriving.
- You can function independently (not bedridden or fully dependent on others for daily care).
- Your life expectancy is at least 3 months (not expected to pass away soon).
- You agree to have your data used (informed consent) and are not pregnant.

This trial studies a new testing method (HCAP-Pcr) for people with pneumonia caught in the hospital or other healthcare settings. Doctors will use a special lung washing procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage to quickly identify the cause of the infection, which could help guide treatment faster.
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 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 registry study collects information from patients hospitalized with pneumonia who also have a weakened immune system. The goal is to better understand how to treat and manage pneumonia in people like you.
This study aims to detect invasive lung aspergillosis earlier by testing samples from your lungs and measuring specific lab markers. It may help doctors start the right antifungal treatment sooner when the infection is suspected.
This study looks at different types of fungi that may cause serious lung infections in patients with weakened immune systems in the ICU. It aims to find out which fungi are present and which antifungal drugs can kill them.
