Interventions
Filling in a symptom diary
Each patient will receive a diary form in which they are asked to record their symptoms, body temperature, and body weight on a daily basis. This approach is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the disease course and the impact of treatment over time. Depending on hospitalization status, disease severity, treatment progress, and national treatment guidelines, clinical, microbiological, and radiological follow-up assessments will be performed as part of routine care at intervals ranging from weekly to monthly. No additional study visits or microbiological or radiological diagnostics outside of standard clinical care will be conducted.
