Cytomegalovirus pneumonia due to NOS2 deficiency

This study tests a fast point-of-care PCR test (Spotfire) that quickly identifies whether a respiratory infection is caused by a virus. The goal is to give ER doctors results faster so they can avoid prescribing antibiotics when they won't help. The trial enrolls 200 adults with …

This study tests whether simple, low-cost air cleaning devices—box fans with filters and ultraviolet light lamps—placed in classrooms can reduce how often schoolchildren catch respiratory viruses like flu and COVID-19. Researchers will compare illness rates among children in clas…

This study looks at how the immune system of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) responds to severe infections caused by viruses or bacteria. Researchers will take extra blood samples from 38 adults to analyze immature granulocytes, a type of immune cell. The goal is to see…

This study looks at whether air samplers placed in homes can detect viruses that cause colds and flu, and how that compares to standard nasal swabs. About 422 students and their families will participate. The goal is to better understand how respiratory viruses spread through hou…

This study compares new, less invasive ways to collect samples for respiratory virus testing—like a nasal wash or saliva—against the standard deep nose swab. Researchers want to see if these gentler methods work just as well and cause less pain. About 1,000 adults in the emergenc…

This study places a rapid testing device in primary care clinics to help doctors quickly identify whether a cold-like illness is caused by a virus or bacteria. About 8,000 adults with symptoms like cough or runny nose will get a nasal swab, with results in 15 minutes. The goal is…
