The Fever Clinic Acute Respiratory Cohort

This prospective cohort study aims to characterize the natural history and outcomes of acute respiratory infection in patients presenting to fever clinics. Upon enrollment, patients' clinical symptoms, laboratory parameters, and chest imaging data will be collected. Subsequent longitudinal follow-up will be performed to assess disease progression, complications, and long-term outcomes. As an observational study, no interventions are implemented; all patients receive standard-of-care management as determined by their attending physicians. This real-world study design allows for the evaluation of the natural progression of acute respiratory infections and the identification of factors associated with clinical outcomes.
