Could stopping antibiotics early help elderly virus patients?

NCT ID NCT07030673

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

Summary

This study looks at whether it is safe to stop antibiotics early in elderly patients (65+) hospitalized for a viral lung infection. Many patients get antibiotics even when they have a virus, which can cause side effects and lead to antibiotic resistance. Researchers will compare how many days patients are off antibiotics and track side effects, deaths, and hospital stay length.
