CRP test for adults with respiratory infection in primary care
Part of 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 adults with respiratory infections in primary care, especially those at higher risk of getting very sick. If you have a cold, bronchitis, or pneumonia and are being treated outside the hospital, you may be eligible.
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 using a blood test called CRP can help doctors decide when antibiotics are needed during a COPD flare-up. It may reduce unnecessary antibiotics while still treating infections when they’re likely.
This study uses a simple blood test (C-reactive protein, or CRP) and a lung ultrasound to see if they can help doctors tell whether a respiratory infection is likely caused by bacteria. It's for people with a recent cough and other respiratory symptoms who haven't recently taken antibiotics.
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.
