Testing a new 3-step diagnosis for fever and lung infections
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new, step-by-step way doctors identify what’s causing sudden fever and respiratory infections (like pneumonia or flu-like illness). It may help clinicians diagnose faster and choose the right next care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You became sick suddenly within the last 7 days
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have pneumonia signs (lung findings on exam or imaging) or an influenza-like illness
- You can provide a nasal or throat sample (swab/wash/aspirate) when asked
- You can participate in the visit and share your medical history (you’re awake and able to cooperate)

This study looks at adults with a fever caused by a respiratory infection. If you qualify, you will have a blood draw as part of your regular care, and researchers will use it to learn more about your condition.
This trial tests an emergency breathing-related approach for adults with a sudden, community-acquired respiratory infection. It may help doctors quickly sort out what’s going on and guide early care.
This study tests new ways to diagnose pneumonia faster and more accurately in older adults who come to the emergency room with breathing problems. The goal is to see if these new tests work better than the current methods.
This study tests “new technologies” to identify what virus is causing a respiratory illness, using samples taken from inside your nose. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate answers about the cause of your symptoms.
This study looks at people who recently had fever and cough along with trouble breathing, to better understand severe acute respiratory illness. By joining, you may help researchers identify patterns that could improve recognition and care.
This study compares a newer, faster lab test (BioFire FilmArray) to standard testing for identifying the germs causing lung infections in hospitalized patients. The goal is to see if the faster test helps doctors choose better antibiotics more quickly.
