This study tests if using simple information sheets helps you and your doctor talk better about infections like sore throat, sinusitis, or bronchitis, and make wise decisions about antibiotics — so you only get them when truly needed.
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.
This study looks at how well different treatments work for people with lung infections or sudden worsening of chronic lung disease. If you have a respiratory sample available and are about to start an antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, or steroid, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a quick, point-of-care test for respiratory infections in primary care. The goal is to help doctors decide when antibiotics are needed, reducing unnecessary use.
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics affects recovery in adults hospitalized with moderately severe infections caused by specific viruses (influenza, parainfluenza, RSV, or hMPV). It may help show when antibiotics are helpful or unnecessary for viral airway illness.
This study tests whether a shorter course of antibiotics (5 days) works as well as the standard 7-day course for common bacterial lung or sinus infections in adults. If you qualify, you would receive either a 5-day or 7-day treatment, and your doctor will monitor your recovery.
