Airborne transmission represents one of the most rapidly spreading and dangerous dissemination mechanisms for pathogens. Public health strategies to prevent and control the often explosive outbreaks associated with such pathogens are: 1) vaccination and treatment, if available, 2) isolation and barrier precautions such as face masks, and 3) decontamination of the exposed areas and surfaces. A lack of understanding how these pathogens are transmitted hampers the ability to develop effective prevention measures. This study will be used to collect preliminary data of the emission patterns of respiratory pathogens.

particle size distribution patterns: ICU
This outcome measure will determine the particle size distribution patterns of the pathogen in the intensive care unit (ICU).
throughout study completion, up to 7 days
particle size distribution patterns: non-ICU setting
This outcome measure will determine the particle size distribution patterns of the pathogen in the non-intensive care unit (ICU).
throughout study completion, up to 7 days
quantities of the pathogen: ICU
This outcome measure will determine the quantities of the pathogen in the intensive care unit (ICU).
throughout study completion, up to 7 days
quantities of the pathogen: non-ICU setting
This outcome measure will determine the quantities of the pathogen in the non-intensive care unit (ICU).
throughout study completion, up to 7 days
spatial model: ICU
This outcome measure will establish a spatial model (1 foot vs. 3- feet vs. 8-10 feet) of airborne pathogen dispersal in the ICU.
Patients seen at the Emergency Department or admitted to the hospital with respiratory symptoms and diagnosed with a respiratory pathogen. A nasopharyngeal swab will be obtained to identify RSV.
Patients seen at the Emergency Department or admitted to the hospital with respiratory symptoms and diagnosed with a respiratory pathogen. A nasopharyngeal swab will be obtained to identify enterovirus.
Patients seen at the Emergency Department or admitted to the hospital with respiratory symptoms and diagnosed with a respiratory pathogen. A nasopharyngeal swab will be obtained to identify adenovirus.
Patients seen at the Emergency Department or admitted to the hospital with respiratory symptoms and diagnosed with a respiratory pathogen. A nasopharyngeal swab will be obtained to identify coronavirus.
Patients seen at the Emergency Department or admitted to the hospital with respiratory symptoms and diagnosed with a respiratory pathogen. A nasopharyngeal swab will be obtained to identify metapneumovirus.
Patients seen at the Emergency Department or admitted to the hospital with respiratory symptoms and diagnosed with a respiratory pathogen. A nasopharyngeal swab will be obtained to identify chlamydia pneumoniae.
Patients \>18 years of age admitted to the ED or an inpatient care unit of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (WFBMC) will be screened for respiratory pathogens (performed as part of standard clinical care). Participants with positive respiratory pathogen tests will be consecutively enrolled.
The results of routine in-house laboratory diagnostic tests such as the Respiratory Viral Panel (RVP), serology tests or bacterial cultures will be used to identify patients.
