Rhinovirus study in children: tracking infections at home and in the hospital
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how rhinovirus (a common cold virus) affects children differently depending on their health and age. If your child is generally healthy or hospitalized with a breathing problem, they might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 12 months to 17.5 years old, depending on the group.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form in English.
- Your child must be a patient in the UW Health system.
- If in the hospital group: your child was admitted in the past 24 hours with a breathing illness or is a baby under 6 months with a high fever.
- Your child cannot have a weak immune system, certain birth defects, a feeding tube, or a tracheostomy.
- Your child cannot already be in another group of this study, and no other child in your home is already in it.

This trial is testing a new at-home test for respiratory infections like the flu and COVID-19. The test is done by you or a caregiver using a nose swab. It may help you get quick and accurate results without going to a clinic.
This study tests whether giving a common cold virus (rhinovirus) to people with bronchiectasis and healthy volunteers can trigger a lung flare-up. It aims to understand how the immune system responds and what causes exacerbations, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at the airways of children aged 1 month to 6 years who had a serious lung infection with adenovirus or rhinovirus. Researchers want to understand how the infection affects the airways and why some children develop lasting breathing problems.
This study looks at how the common cold virus affects people with COPD to find new treatments. If you have moderate COPD and your symptoms flare up when you catch a cold, you may be able to help.
This study looks at how RSV (a common virus that can affect breathing) leads to illness in young children who come to the doctor with ear infections and/or breathing symptoms. It may help doctors better understand the “burden” RSV causes in both home/outpatient and hospital settings.
This study looks at children hospitalized with bronchiolitis (a lung infection that causes coughing and breathing trouble). It aims to understand what makes some children more likely to get very sick. By joining, researchers can learn more about risk factors and how to help children recover better.
