NCT ID NCT07346963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will observe up to 4,000 children under 5 years old who test positive for RSV and visit emergency departments in Turkey.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consists of children aged \<5 years presenting to participating pediatric emergency departments in Türkiye during consecutive RSV season (2025-2026 ) who have respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection confirmed from a nasopharyngeal specimen using rapid antigen testing and/or PCR according to local site capacity and standard clinical practice. Eligible participants include RSV-positive children evaluated for compatible clinical diagnoses at presentation (e.g., upper respiratory tract infection, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, apnea, seizure/convulsion, or myocarditis). Enrollment requires written informed consent from a parent or legal guardian; children are excluded only if consent is declined. Clinical management is not assigned by the protocol and follows routine care; participants are observed for outcomes during the index emergency department encounter and, when applicable, through the index hospitalization.
