NCT ID NCT03748069
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at why some people with the flu in the intensive care unit (ICU) develop a dangerous fungal lung infection called aspergillosis. Researchers will compare the immune systems of 45 flu patients and non-flu pneumonia patients by analyzing blood, lung fluid, and tissue samples. The goal is to find differences in immune cells and their ability to fight fungi, which could lead to better prevention or treatment.
