FebriDx test for fever and cold symptoms in children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a finger-prick blood test (FebriDx) to see if it can quickly tell whether a child's fever and cold symptoms are caused by a bacterial or viral infection. If it works, it could help doctors decide whether antibiotics are needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a fast multiplex PCR test (a molecular test that identifies multiple respiratory viruses at once) helps urgent care doctors treat patients with common respiratory illnesses more effectively. The test results are analyzed to see if they improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial uses a rapid test in the emergency department to quickly identify the exact cause of your respiratory infection, such as the flu or other viruses. This may help doctors choose the right treatment faster, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving outcomes.
This study tests a new diagnostic tool to help doctors quickly identify the cause of respiratory infections (colds, flu, cough, sore throat, etc.) in children and teens. It aims to improve treatment decisions by guiding the use of antibiotics and other therapies.
This study tests whether a quick finger-prick test that measures C-reactive protein (CRP) can help doctors decide when a feverish child needs antibiotics or further care. It aims to improve how fever is managed in primary care settings.
This study is testing a new, fast test to better identify which young children with fever are at risk for serious illness. If your child is eligible, they will be part of a group that helps doctors decide how to treat febrile children more accurately.
This study tests whether a quick test for COVID-19, flu, and RSV can help doctors avoid giving antibiotics when they aren't needed. It's for people with fever or chest infection symptoms who are not sick enough to be hospitalized.
