INFECTION VIRAL

This study tested an investigational drug called vapendavir in 52 adults with COPD (a chronic lung disease). The goal was to see if vapendavir could reduce lower respiratory symptoms like cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath after they were exposed to a common cold virus (rhi…

This study tested new portable sensor platforms to quickly and cheaply detect viruses (like SARS-CoV-2), bacteria, and parasites in blood and respiratory samples. Researchers compared the sensors' accuracy to standard lab tests using samples from 149 adult patients. The goal is t…

This study looked at 7 different blood markers to see if they can better tell apart severe bacterial infections from viral infections in young children with fever. About 983 children aged 7 days to 36 months participated. The goal is to find a combination of markers that works be…

This study aimed to find simple blood markers that could predict if a person with suspected COVID-19 in the emergency room would later get sicker. Researchers followed 373 patients to see if routine lab tests could forecast worsening. The goal was to help hospitals better allocat…

This study looked at how the COVID-19 virus spreads within hospitals, affecting both patients and healthcare workers. Over 2,100 people took part to help identify risk factors and improve safety measures. The goal was to better understand transmission and protect those most at ri…

This study looked at 189 adults who had COVID-19 to see how long their antibodies last. Researchers collected blood, saliva, and nose swabs at 6 and 12 months after infection. The goal was to understand the immune response and whether protective antibodies persist over time.
