Breath test for respiratory infections
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special breath test can help find respiratory infections (like pneumonia or sore throat) more easily. It might help doctors diagnose infections faster and with less discomfort than some current methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have signs of a respiratory infection (like a cold, sore throat, or cough) that started within the last 7 days.
- You must be willing and able to blow into a breath-testing device.
- You must not be a healthy volunteer, meaning you must have respiratory symptoms.
- You cannot have had alcohol in the last 12 hours before the test.
- You cannot have serious health conditions like chronic lung failure, type 2 diabetes, cancer, liver or kidney disease, or cystic fibrosis.

This study uses a special device called an electronic nose to analyze your breath and look for signs of several diseases. It is a simple, non-invasive test that may help find health issues earlier, possibly leading to better treatment outcomes.
This study tests a new breath analysis method to quickly diagnose respiratory infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. If successful, it could lead to faster treatment for serious lung conditions.
This study uses a simple breath test to detect different lung diseases. By analyzing the chemicals in your breath, researchers hope to find a faster, non-invasive way to diagnose lung conditions. It may be an option if you have a known lung disease and have a recent CT scan.
This study evaluates a home test kit that detects respiratory infections like the flu, RSV, and COVID-19 from a simple nose swab. It helps see if the test works well when used outside a clinic.
