Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This trial is a pilot study to determine the feasibility of a randomized clinical trial comparing a treatment algorithm consisting of a limited number of clinical parameters, rapid molecular viral diagnostics, and serum procalcitonin testing to standard of care for directing antibiotic use in patients with non-pneumonic lower respiratory tract infection. The reduction in antibiotic use in those subjects randomized to the treatment algorithm compared to those randomized to standard care will be determined.
