Breath test for lung infections
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new breath test that can quickly find out if you have a lung infection. It might help get the right treatment faster and reduce the need for more invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 1 month old, whether you're breathing on your own or on a ventilator.
- You need to have signs of a lower respiratory infection (like cough, fever, or trouble breathing) OR have a known chronic airway colonization (bacteria that stay in your airways).
- You must be able to give informed consent yourself or have a representative do it.
- You need to be affiliated with a health insurance system.

This study tests a new diagnostic tool to help doctors quickly identify the cause of respiratory infections (colds, flu, cough, sore throat, etc.) in children and teens. It aims to improve treatment decisions by guiding the use of antibiotics and other therapies.
This study tracks patients with breathing problems to see which germs are making them sick. Doctors will use tests and medical records to watch for different pathogens.
This study tests a new breath analysis method to quickly diagnose respiratory infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. If successful, it could lead to faster treatment for serious lung conditions.
This study tests whether a special breath test can help find respiratory infections (like pneumonia or sore throat) more easily. It might help doctors diagnose infections faster and with less discomfort than some current methods.
This trial tests a new breath test to quickly find the cause of respiratory infections. If you are in the hospital with a cough or cold, this test might help get the right treatment faster.
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
