This study aims to create and test a clinical prediction score called FUNGAL-P to help doctors identify fungal pneumonia early in adults who come to the hospital with pneumonia. Researchers will analyze medical records from past patients and then test the score on new patients to…

This study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a radioactive fungal component to see if it can light up areas of Aspergillus infection in the body. Ten adults with suspected invasive fungal infections will receive the scan. The goal is to see if this method can accurately loca…

This study looks at how the immune system changes with age and how that affects the risk of infections in people 60 and older. Researchers will collect blood, urine, stool, and other samples from elderly patients with infections and healthy older adults. By analyzing immune cells…

This study aims to understand why some people get severe or unusual fungal infections due to immune system problems. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, and other samples from up to 1,200 participants over 25 years. No new treatments are being tested; the goal is to learn mor…

This study aims to improve how doctors evaluate and manage people who have been exposed to bioterrorism agents (like anthrax) or emerging infectious diseases (like SARS or new flu strains). Up to 200 participants, including patients and healthcare workers, will be monitored and t…

This study is testing a new rapid diagnostic device called In-Dx to quickly identify infections and antibiotic resistance in emergency patients with suspected sepsis. Researchers will compare the device's results to standard lab cultures using stored samples from 2,500 patients. …

This study is developing a machine learning model to predict the risk of relapse within one year for people with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), a lung condition caused by an allergic reaction to a fungus. Researchers will collect data from 300 patients across mul…

This study tests a new, lightweight ultrasound device called NeoDoppler that can be gently placed on a newborn's soft spot (fontanelle) to continuously measure blood flow in the brain. Researchers will enroll 180 preterm and full-term infants, including those with conditions like…

This study is looking at whether early signs of inflammation in the blood can help identify which patients with infections are at risk for serious complications like sepsis. Researchers will follow 4,200 adults with confirmed or suspected infections, as well as healthy controls, …

This study looks at how the immune system influences disease control in people with inflammatory airway diseases like asthma, COPD, and bronchiectasis. Researchers will analyze blood and sputum samples from 200 participants to find links between immune cell patterns and disease s…

This study looks at how the antibiotic ceftazidime avibactam behaves in 30 children with severe infections who are in intensive care, some on life support. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood to understand the right dose. The goal is to improve treatment for life-th…

This study looks at how a common fungus called Aspergillus spreads in hospital wards and affects blood cancer patients. Researchers will take nasal swabs from 193 adults when they enter and leave the hospital, and also test the air in the ward. The goal is to find links between f…

This study looks at how the antifungal medicine caspofungin behaves in children with severe infections, especially those with liver problems or on life support like ECMO. Researchers will measure drug levels in the blood to understand dosing needs. About 60 children in intensive …

This study will collect data from 2,000 children admitted to pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) with severe infections across major Chinese cities. Over 10 years, researchers will track which germs cause these infections, how they are treated, and patient outcomes. The goal i…
