About this trial

The main objective is to estimate the annual symptomatic incidence of Bordetella pertussis and RSV infections in patients aged 18 years and over with asthma, which will be identified by PCR, for Bordetella pertussis and by PCR for RSV performed at a specific timepoint from onset of symptoms for each symptomatic Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI).

A multicentre prospective cohort study will be undertaken in Spain. Thirty-five centres from different autonomous communities in Spain will participate in the study.

Participants will be asked to report to the investigator if they experience an asthma exacerbation or symptoms of acute respiratory infection with 2 years follow up

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult patient (age 18 years and over)

Diagnosed with asthma at least one year prior to the date of enrolment.

Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, can and will comply with the requirements of the study protocol for the duration of the follow-up period (e.g. agree to provide samples for testing, able to attend for testing upon asthma exacerbation and/or ARI symptoms occurring)

Patients who are able to provide written informed consent.

Disqualifiers

Patients with a prior history of pertussis in the last 12 months

Patients with ARI within the 2 weeks prior to enrolment

Patients who have another respiratory disease other than asthma, alcohol or drug abuse at the time of being included in the study, or an active oncological disease (patients in treatment or follow-up for oncological disease) or pregnant women.

Patients treated with immunosuppressive or immunomodulating agents not related to asthma diagnosis. will be excluded.

Trial population

Consecutive adult patients (18 years and over) with asthma diagnosed at least one year before will be enrolled from the asthma clinics of selected hospitals. Every group (at each participating site) should include 35% of patients over 60 years old considering that this age-group has higher risk of infection and worse prognosis than the younger one.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • PCR

    Diagnostic test

    Depending on the symptoms presented and date of symptom onset, for pertussis, patients will undergo a nasopharyngeal swab specimen for PCR if onset of the symptoms was within the past 3 weeks For RSV, patients will undergo a nasopharyngeal swab specimen for PCR if onset of the symptoms was within the past 72 hours.
