Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older who are admitted to hospital (or in the ED with expected admission) for suspected or confirmed acute infection with symptom onset within the past 30 days and who can provide informed consent (or have a surrogate to consent) are appropriate candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals who are currently imprisoned, receiving only comfort/end-of-life care, unable or unwilling to participate, or whom investigators judge participation is not in their best interest are not eligible and would not be expected to benefit.

What this trial studies
This prospective, longitudinal observational protocol enrolls adults admitted to hospital (or in the emergency department with expected admission) for suspected or confirmed acute infectious diseases within 30 days of symptom onset. Participating sites collect clinical data, laboratory results, and biospecimens over time without providing experimental treatments. The design covers respiratory and non-respiratory infections, established infectious diseases, and emerging pathogens. Generated data and samples are intended to characterize disease course and biology and to inform the selection and design of future interventional trials.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the collected data could speed identification of risk factors and lead to better-targeted treatments and management strategies for future patients with acute infections.
How similar studies have gone: Similar observational efforts were essential for early knowledge about H1N1, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and Mpox, so this approach has a precedent of providing useful insights.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years old * Admitted to hospital (or in an emergency department with anticipated hospital admission) for the management of a suspected or confirmed acute infectious disease. * Onset of symptoms of an infectious disease within the past 30 days. * Informed consent for study participation by the participant or a surrogate decision maker if the participant lacks capacity for consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Current imprisonment (this does not include quarantine for an infectious disease). * Patient undergoing comfort care measures only such that treatment focuses on end- of-life symptom management over prolongation of life. * Expected inability or unwillingness to participate in study procedures. * In the opinion of the investigator, participation in the study is not in the best interest of the patient.
