Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to understand immune responses to viral airway infection in adults including the elderly The main questions to answer isare

Why do some individuals acquire only asymptomatic or mild Influenza A virus IAV infection while others become severely ill and even succumb to the same disease

Participants will be asked to donate samples when seeking health care for influenza-like symptoms or if hospitalized for IAV or SARS-CoV-2 Samples asked for are

Blood sample by venepuncture
Blood sample by capillary sampling
Nasopharyngeal aspirate
Nasopharyngeal swab
Endotracheal tube aspirate
Nasal swab
Nasal curette
Breath Explor sampling of expired air

Researchers will compare obtained results with the same type of samples from healthy controls
Detailed Description: This observational study will specifically investigate different immunological parameters in blood and at the site of infection in patients with IAV symptoms or confirmed infection to understand parameters related to disease course Blood and airway samples will be analyzed for immune cell subsets and their functionality antibodies and other soluble mediators and linked to clinical data Immune cells will be analyzed using multi-color flow cytometry RNA sequencing and in vitro functionality assays Fluids plasma serum supernatants from airway samples and cell culture supernatants will be analyzed using ELISA and or similar methods proximity extension assay Olink etc
