Observational Study on the Diagnostic Evaluation of the Intestinal Microbiota of Patients With COVID-19. (EDIFICE)

December 17, 2021 updated by: Luxia Scientific

Observational Study on the Diagnostic Evaluation of the Intestinal Microbiota of French People Infected With the SARS-CoV-2.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of the gut microbiome is yet unknown. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the clinical contribution of the gut microbiome composition and diversity on the disease severity and to estimate the viral load in stool samples.
