Summary

This study explores whether analyzing the chemicals in a person's breath can quickly and painlessly diagnose serious respiratory infections like COVID-19, flu, and Legionella in hospitalized adults. Researchers will collect breath samples from 777 participants using a simple bedside device and compare the results to standard clinical tests. The goal is to develop a faster, non-invasive diagnostic tool for severe infections.
