About this study

Acute respiratory infection (ARI) constitutes a leading cause of morbidity, hospitalization and mortality worldwide. The most common etiologic agents of ARI's, especially in children, are viruses.

The study objective is to determine the viral and bacterial etiologies of ARIs in patients with lower respiratory tract infection in South East Asia.

This is a laboratory based surveillance study, in which the archival specimens from hospitalized patients will be tested for respiratory pathogens other than influenza viruses Standard descriptive statistics will be used to present the findings

Read the detailed description

This study will test 1400 specimens from 1200 patients at the following laboratories:

  • National Hospital of Pediatrics, Hanoi
  • National Institute of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, Hanoi
  • Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok
  • National Institute of Health Research and Development, Jakarta
  • Hospital for Tropical Diseases, HCMC
  • Children Hospital #1, Ho Chi Minh City
  • Children Hospital #2, Ho Chi Minh City
  • Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the viral and bacterial etiologies of ARIs in patients with lower respiratory tract infection (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01048073, which also lists 6 linked publications.
