      Background: Data on discomfort and complications from research bronchoscopy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma is limited. We present complications and discomfort occurring within a week after ...
    • A longitudinal study of the pulmonary mycobiome in subjects with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 

      Martinsen, Einar Marius Hjellestad; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind; Wiker, Harald Gotten; Leiten, Elise Orvedal; Husebø, Gunnar Reksten; Knudsen, Kristel Svalland; Tangedal, Solveig; Sanseverino, Walter; Paytuví-Gallart, Andreu; Nielsen, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)
      Background: Few studies have examined the stability of the pulmonary mycobiome. We report longitudinal changes in the oral and pulmonary mycobiome of participants with and without COPD in a large-scale bronchoscopy study ...
    • The lower airways microbiome and antimicrobial peptides in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis differ from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 

      Knudsen, Kristel Svalland; Lehmann, Sverre; Nielsen, Rune; Tangedal, Solveig; Haaland, Ingvild; Hiemstra, Pieter S.; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background The lower airways microbiome and host immune response in chronic pulmonary diseases are incompletely understood. We aimed to investigate possible microbiome characteristics and key antimicrobial peptides and ...
    • The lower airways microbiota and antimicrobial peptides indicate dysbiosis in sarcoidosis 

      Knudsen, Kristel Svalland; Lehmann, Sverre; Nielsen, Rune; Tangedal, Solveig; Paytuví-Gallart, Andreu; Sanseverino, Walter; Martinsen, Einar Marius Hjellestad; Hiemstra, Pieter S.; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-19)
      Background: The role of the pulmonary microbiome in sarcoidosis is unknown. The objectives of this study were the following: (1) examine whether the pulmonary fungal and bacterial microbiota differed in patients with ...
    • The pulmonary mycobiome—A study of subjects with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 

      Martinsen, Einar Marius Hjellestad; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind; Leiten, Elise Orvedal; Haaland, Ingvild; Husebø, Gunnar Reksten; Knudsen, Kristel Svalland; Drengenes, Christine; Sanseverino, Walter; Paytuví-Gallart, Andreu; Nielsen, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-07)
      Background: The fungal part of the pulmonary microbiome (mycobiome) is understudied. We report the composition of the oral and pulmonary mycobiome in participants with COPD compared to controls in a large-scale single-centre ...
