Fig. 1: Schematic on three studies conducted over a six-year period.

We first collected anonimized respiratory samples from BMC (2013). Results from this study prompted an anonimized study in a control population (2014), and a second collection of coded samples from BMC (2014). The latter patients were followed longidudinaly (2015–2019). BMC = Boston Medical Center.
