Fungus in lungs linked to worse COPD symptoms?

NCT ID NCT03646851

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study followed 100 people with severe COPD to see if the presence of aspergillus fungus in their sputum is linked to worse quality of life and breathing problems. Participants provided sputum samples and filled out questionnaires at the start, then again by phone after 1 and 3 months, and in person after 6 months. The goal was to better understand how this fungus affects COPD symptoms, not to test a new treatment.
