Traditional Chinese medicine for drug-resistant bacterial pneumonia
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding traditional Chinese medicine to standard care helps people with pneumonia caused by bacteria that are hard to treat with many antibiotics. It may offer another option to fight the infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and are in the hospital for pneumonia.
- Tests show the pneumonia is caused by a multidrug-resistant bacterium (a germ that doesn't respond to several antibiotics).
- The resistant germ is causing your pneumonia, not just living in your body without causing harm.
- You are willing to take part and can give written permission (or have someone who can decide for you).
