CRP test for adults with respiratory infection in primary care
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a simple finger-prick test (C-reactive protein or CRP) can help doctors decide whether antibiotics are needed for adults with a cold or other respiratory infection. If you are an adult with recent symptoms and have not taken antibiotics yet, you may be able to join.

This trial tests a new approach to treating respiratory infections in adults who are at higher risk of becoming seriously ill but can still be treated in an outpatient clinic. It aims to see if this approach helps prevent severe disease.
This study tracks how patients with respiratory infections (like bronchitis, sore throats, or COVID-19) are treated in family doctor offices across Europe. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care. You may be able to join if you have a cough, sore throat, or other symptoms that suggest a respiratory infection, and you go to a participating clinic.
This trial tests if a quick blood test (C-reactive protein, CRP) and a patient leaflet can help doctors prescribe antibiotics only when needed for adults with respiratory tract infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study tests whether a quick finger-prick test that measures C-reactive protein (CRP) can help doctors decide when a feverish child needs antibiotics or further care. It aims to improve how fever is managed in primary care settings.
This study tests how well a blood test (CRP) and a lung ultrasound (an imaging test using sound waves) can tell what is causing your cough and breathing symptoms. It aims to see if these quick, non-invasive tests can help doctors diagnose lower respiratory infections more accurately.
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.
