Filter by:Through contact with peers in daycare and (primary)school young children play a large role in spreading respiratory pathogens. In this study the investigators will investigate this transmission, the subsequent colonization and infection dynamics, and their association with clinical symptoms and local immune response through dense minimally-invasive sampling. This study will allow us a unique insight into the transmission-, infection-, and colonization-potential of the respiratory pathogens.
The aim of this study is to confirm the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the Mouth and Throat Rinse in adult participants with acute sore throat (upper respiratory tract infection e.g., pharyngitis/laryngitis) compared to placebo.
Pilot study for the evaluation of the feasibility of pathogen detection in exhaled breath aerosols (XBAs) samples using the AveloCollect device. The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of XBA collection and molecular detection of respiratory pathogens using the AveloCollect BlowTube device (index test) in subjects with a clinical presentation consistent with a respiratory infectious disease, compared to the same molecular assays performed on nasopharyngeal secretions (using commercially available swabs) and sputum (comparator tests).
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to determine if adults presenting with symptoms of an acute lower respiratory tract infection in general practice where the general practitioner suspects CAP, who have FLUS performed as an addition to usual care, have antibiotics prescribed less frequent compared to those given usual care only.
This study investigates the effect of Lactobacillus reuteri probiotic strains (ATCC PTA 5289 and DSM 17938) on symptoms of viral upper-respiratory tract infections in children.
Bronchial asthma may present with symptoms other than the commonly reported complaints (cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing). Less common symptoms include chronic or recurrent productive cough, inspiratory dyspnoea or recurrent pneumonia. Children presenting with these symptoms are often diagnosed with asthma bronchiale and benefit from antiasthmatic management.
Influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections remain practically uncontrollable diseases due to the high variability of the antigenic structure of influenza viruses and the heterogeneity of pathogens of acute respiratory infections. Therefore, for the prevention and treatment of influenza, acute respiratory viral infections and herpes infections, it is relevant to develop drugs - immunomodulators that mobilize the reserves of nonspecific and specific immune systems and enhance the effects of these systems against the pathogens. The drug CYCLOFERON, 150 mg, enteric-coated tablets, contains the active substance meglumine acridone acetate, which is an interferon inducer. Interferons are the most important system of innate immunity, which has antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, and can protect the body from infection with a virus, and in case of infection, fight the causative agent of the disease. The planned clinical trial of the efficacy and safety of the drug CYCLOFERON in the dosage form of a tablet will study its ability to prevent influenza and other respiratory viral infections in adults who have already had close contact with patients with manifest disease.
Objectives: 1. To compare the immune response of patients with or without sepsis presenting to the ED with a(n) (suspected) infection. 2. To determine immune response aberrations that are associated with an increased risk of developing sepsis in patients presenting to the ED with a(n) (suspected) infection without sepsis. 3. To determine the long term cognitive and physical sequelae of sepsis after admission.
The primary objective of this clinical performance study is to evaluate and further validate the clinical performance of: 1. ClariLight Influenza A/B & SARS-CoV-2 test kits and 2. ClariLight Influenza A/B & RSV test kits, for the qualitative detection and differential diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, influenza B, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) present in anterior nasal and oropharyngeal swab, in combination with an automated molecular diagnostic analyzer and sample collection tube by comparing them against a CE marked, in-vitro diagnostic device, used in the standard of care.
Background: COVID-19 left consequences in different organs from months to years requiring different types of rehabilitation. In fact, a severe loss in the lung function, and in the respiratory and peripheral muscle strength is commonly observed in post-COVID-19 patients. Objectives: Thus, the present study investigated whether 30 days of supplementation with a nutritional blend (ImmuneRecov®; composition: whey protein concentrate, astaxanthin, creatine, selenium, vitamin C, glutamic acid, tryptophan, magnesium) would help to minimize the respiratory (lung function) and muscular (respiratory and peripheral muscles) sequelae in post-COVID-19 patients.
