CT scans may help predict survival in rare lung infection
NCT ID NCT07339800
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines whether chest CT scans can help predict how patients with a rare but severe lung fungal infection called pulmonary mucormycosis will fare. Researchers will review scans from 80 patients treated at a French hospital to identify imaging patterns linked to better or worse outcomes. The goal is to improve follow-up and treatment decisions for this life-threatening infection.
