Tracking recovery in older patients with respiratory viral infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study follows patients 65 and older who are hospitalized with a respiratory virus (like flu, COVID-19, or RSV) to better understand how they recover. Researchers hope to improve care and support for older adults facing these infections.

This study looks at how rhinovirus (a common cold virus) affects children differently depending on their health and age. If your child is generally healthy or hospitalized with a breathing problem, they might be able to join.
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 looks at older adults (60+) who are in the hospital with lung or breathing infections caused by viruses. It aims to better understand these infections in older people, which may help improve care and treatment for patients like you.
This study looks at how acute respiratory infections (like the flu, COVID-19, or RSV) affect older adults' daily functioning. If you are 60+ and in the hospital with one of these viruses, your participation would help doctors understand the lasting impact on independence and health.
This study examines how the body's natural defense system (specifically a type of immune protein) responds to common respiratory viruses like flu and cold in older adults. Researchers will analyze nasal samples that are already being collected as part of routine care to better understand why older people sometimes have different immune responses to these infections.
This study collects information from people of any age who have a respiratory infection and are being tested for common viruses. It aims to understand these infections better and may help improve how they are treated.
