Confirmed influenza A or B infection (including patients with SARS-CoV-2 co-infection) 2. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) with planned antibiotic treatment (excluding patients with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2, influenza, active pulmonary tuberculosis or Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia) (iv) No medical history that might, in the opinion of the attending clinician, put the patient at significant risk if he/she were to participate in the trial Patients with suspected or confirmed active pulmonary tuberculosis or Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (also known…
