Official Title: Exhaled Breath Aerosol for the Etiological Diagnosis of Respiratory Tract Infections: a Pilot Study
Brief Summary:
Pilot study for the evaluation of the feasibility of pathogen detection in exhaled breath aerosols (XBAs) samples using the AveloCollect device.The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of XBA collection and molecular detection of respiratory pathogens using the AveloCollect BlowTube device (index test) in subjects with a clinical presentation consistent with a respiratory infectious disease, compared to the same molecular assays performed on nasopharyngeal secretions (using commercially available swabs)…
