Summary
This study is testing a new blood test called MeMed BV to see if it helps emergency room doctors make better decisions about prescribing antibiotics for lower respiratory tract infections (like bronchitis or pneumonia). About 1,300 adults with fever and cough will be randomly assigned to have the test result available to their doctor or not. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while keeping patients safe.
