A simple blood test could curb antibiotic overuse in indonesia
NCT ID NCT07717372
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether a rapid C-reactive protein (CRP) blood test can help doctors decide when antibiotics are truly needed for adults with acute respiratory infections in Indonesian primary health clinics. Many such infections are viral and do not require antibiotics, yet overprescribing is common and fuels antimicrobial resistance. The study compares usual care with care supported by CRP test results, aiming to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions.
