Gut health and immune markers in children with respiratory infections
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and immune markers relate to respiratory infections in children. It may help doctors understand why some children get sick more often and could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 14 years old.
- You, as the guardian, must agree to participate and sign a consent form.
- Your child should have either a current respiratory infection (including mycoplasma pneumonia), a history of recurrent infections, or be healthy (no infection in the past month).
- Your child must not have taken antibiotics, probiotics, or immune-modulating medications in the last 15-30 days.
- Your child must not have other serious conditions like congenital heart disease or immune deficiency.

This trial tests if a daily probiotic can help young children who get frequent respiratory infections like colds and coughs. It aims to see if the probiotic reduces how often infections happen.
This study looks at how South African children's immune systems respond to acute respiratory infections. It may help find better ways to treat or prevent these infections.
This study looks at how the bacteria in the gut and the immune system respond in infants hospitalized with severe RSV infection. It may help doctors understand why some babies get sicker and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how the germs in a baby's gut and their immune system respond to bronchiolitis (a common lung infection). If your baby is under 12 months and gets bronchiolitis during the RSV season, their participation could help us understand why some babies get very sick and others don't.
This study looks at how the gut and lungs affect breathing problems in children. It compares samples from children with and without respiratory illnesses to understand why some children get sicker than others.
This study follows healthy children from birth to age 7 to learn how infections and the immune system develop over time. Depending on your child's history, they may join a general group, an infection group, or an asthma group, and researchers will track their health to better understand childhood immunity.
