Summary
Brief summary
In this study, the investigator will be approaching pregnant women to undertake 2 years of
weekly respiratory and nappy specimen collection from their healthy new born infant. These
specimens will be mailed to the Queensland Paediatric Infectious Diseases (Qpid) Laboratory
where they will be stored and batched tested for viruses and bacteria. As well as this,
parents will keep a simple daily symptom diary for their child, allowing us to match
detection of viruses and bacteria to periods when the study child did or did not have
symptoms. This will help our understanding of what finding these viruses and bacteria in
specimens from children really means.
