Official title

The Natural History of Viral Upper Respiratory Infections in Children Aged 6 to <14 Years

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study examines the cold processes of children aged 6 to less than 14. Children will be seen by the study staff 6 days in a row during the course of their naturally-acquired colds. Nasal secretions will be examined for chemicals that the body creates during a cold. Skin cells will be collected by brushing the inside of the child's cheek with a small brush. The cells will be examined for genes that may hold control the creation of these chemicals.
