Gut fungi linked to lung trouble in HIV patients
NCT ID NCT05502653
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether fungi moving from the gut into the blood can cause inflammation and worsen lung function in people with HIV. Researchers will measure a fungal marker called BDG in blood and urine, and track lung health over three years. The goal is to better understand why some people with HIV develop COPD, a serious lung disease. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
