Breath test for lung infections
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a simple breath test to look for signs of lung infections. It aims to see if the test can help doctors find infections faster and more easily than current methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 1 month (any age above that is okay).
- You must have symptoms of a lower respiratory tract infection (like trouble breathing, fast breathing, cough, phlegm, or fever) or a positive test (like chest X-ray or blood work), OR you have a known long-term lung infection that comes back often.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and have health insurance.
- You cannot be in this study if you are unable to give consent (or have no one to consent for you), or if you are under legal guardianship or in prison.

This study tests a new way to quickly identify respiratory infections in children using a nose swab. It aims to help doctors choose the right treatment faster and avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
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 quick breath test can detect infections early in people receiving intensive treatment for certain blood cancers or bone marrow transplant patients. If it works, it could help doctors find infections faster and adjust treatment sooner.
This study tests a new breath test to quickly detect respiratory infections. If you have a recent cold, sore throat, or pneumonia, you may be able to help by providing a breath sample.
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.
