This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a research study taking place in four major French hospitals to understand how often three respiratory viruses — influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) — spread to patients and staff while in the hospital. Researchers will collect nasal swabs and information from hospitalized patients and healthcare workers who develop flu-like symptoms to better understand these infections and how vaccination helps prevent them.
Hospital-acquired respiratory infections place a heavy burden on healthcare systems and patients. France currently lacks detailed information about how often these infections happen in hospitals, how serious they are, and whether vaccinating healthcare workers and patients adequately protects people. This study will fill that gap and help hospitals take better steps to prevent spread.

If you join, a study team member will collect a quick nasal swab from you and ask you to complete a questionnaire with basic information about yourself, your medical history, your vaccinations, and details about your illness. This happens once during your hospital stay or when you report symptoms at work. The entire process takes just a short visit — no follow-up visits or ongoing treatment is required.
