Tracking respiratory infections in French primary care
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tracks viruses that cause sudden colds and flu-like illnesses during winter months in France. Researchers collect information from patients seen by participating doctors to better understand which respiratory viruses are circulating and help prepare for future outbreaks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must see a doctor (general practitioner or pediatrician) who is part of the Sentinelles surveillance network in France
- You have a sudden respiratory infection with fever or feeling feverish plus respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, congestion, etc.)
- You are seen between late September and mid-April each year
- You can give oral (spoken) permission to participate, or a parent/guardian can consent on your behalf if you are a minor

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 tracks how respiratory viruses spread in the community and within households. It involves testing and collecting samples from people who are sick or healthy, to help better understand and prevent outbreaks.
This study collects samples from people who have or might have a cold/respiratory virus, then stores them for future research. It may help researchers better understand respiratory germs and develop better treatments.
This study tracks patients with breathing problems to see which germs are making them sick. Doctors will use tests and medical records to watch for different pathogens.
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.
This trial studies ways to prevent RSV infections in newborns. If you are a parent who gave birth in France between October 2024 and January 2025, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better protect babies from RSV.
