Could your own antibodies make a respiratory infection worse?

NCT ID NCT05536219

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether certain autoantibodies that block the body's natural antiviral defenses lead to higher viral levels and slower recovery in severe respiratory infections like flu, RSV, and COVID-19. Researchers will measure viral load changes over a week in 360 ICU patients (adults and children) to understand why some people develop severe illness. The goal is to uncover immune system weaknesses that could guide future treatments.
