This trial tests new tools to help doctors diagnose and manage pneumonia in children. It may help children with cough or trouble breathing who are not severely ill.
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
This study tests if lung ultrasound can help doctors decide whether to use antibiotics for children with pneumonia. If your child has signs of pneumonia but is stable enough for an ultrasound, this could help avoid unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial tests a tool to help doctors decide when antibiotics are truly needed for lung infections like bronchitis or pneumonia. It may help you avoid unnecessary antibiotics and their side effects.
This study watches babies under 29 days old to track and understand respiratory infections. It may help doctors learn how to better protect very young infants.
This trial tests whether using a lung ultrasound can help doctors decide if antibiotics are needed for children and teens hospitalized with a lower respiratory tract infection. It may reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
