Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Discovery of exhaled breath biomarkers [Through the study completion, up to 3 months.]
To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of metabolomic biomarkers in exhaled breath samples as compared with pathogens biomarkers found in participants' blood and sputum samples.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The association of exhaled biomarkers with inflammatory known biomarkers. [Through the study completion, up to 3 months.]
To measure the association between exhaled biomarkers and inflammatory known biomarkers that are found in participants' blood and sputum samples.
