NCT ID NCT07211997
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a finger-prick blood test called FebriDx in 800 children aged 2-11 who have a fever and symptoms of a respiratory infection. The goal is to see if the test can quickly tell whether the infection is caused by bacteria or something else (like a virus). If accurate, this could help doctors decide when antibiotics are truly needed, reducing unnecessary use.
