Exhaled breath condensate metabolomics reveals inflammation-associated metabolic alterations and metabolites with possible relevance to virulence-related processes in pulmonary cryptococcosis
Introduction To analyze metabolic alterations associated with pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) using metabolomic profiling of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and investigate metabolic differences between fungal infections through comparison with patients with pulmonary aspergillosis (PA). Methods We enrolled 32 patients w...
