Tiny study checks antibiotic levels in lung infection fluid
NCT ID NCT04350502
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how the antibiotics amoxicillin and clavulanic acid get into the infected fluid around the lungs in people with pleural infections. Eleven adults with complicated infections had chest tubes placed and received the antibiotics. Researchers measured antibiotic levels in the blood and pleural fluid to see if enough drug reaches the infection site.
