Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The study was designed to gather information regarding the use of palivizumab for the prophylaxis for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in high-risk infants in selected countries within Latin America.

Klacid Granules for Oral Suspension provides short symptoms' recovery time in Thai children with lower respiratory tract infections.

Background: - Lymphatic filariasis is an infection that is caused by small, thread-like worms. It is spread by mosquitoes, and causes fever, chills, and headaches. If untreated, it can also cause elephantiasis, a condition that leads to swelling of the arms, legs, breasts, and scrotum. Treatment can eliminate the worms from the blood and reduce the risk of developing elephantiasis. Researchers want to study people with latent tuberculosis (TB) who may or may not be infected with filariasis. This study will look at the way that people with latent TB fight infection with these worms. Objectives: - To study how the immune systems of people with latent TB react to filarial infection. Eligibility: - Individuals between 18 and 65 years of age who have latent TB and may or may not have filarial infection. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will provide a blood and stool sample to test for infection. Participants who do not have lymphatic filariasis but have another kind of intestinal worm will be treated for the parasite. This will be their last study visit. Participants who have latent TB and lymphatic filariasis will be treated with the standard treatment for the disease. They will come back for a second visit 6 months later, and will provide another blood sample.

To collect and summarize information on the diagnosis, management, and clinical and mycological outcomes of patients with systemic fungal infections in order to better understand the effectiveness of antifungals in the treatment of Systemic Fungal Infections (SFI) in India.

A cross-sectional study of urogenital schistosomiasis and sexually transmitted infections (STI) prevalence and associated morbidity in a rural community in Madagascar. Clearance of infections and resolution of morbidity were subsequently studied in two phases following systematic anti-STI and anti-schistosoma treatment, respectively.

Effect of upper respiratory infection (URI) on diabetic subjects with a meal challenge

Due to genetic polymorphism about 15%-30% of the world population have low levels of MBL (Mannose Binding Lectin) in serum (below 500ng/mL). Different studies reported correlation between polymorphism in the MBL gene with low levels of MBL in serum and higher frequency of recurrent infections, severity of sepsis, ARDS and other infections. Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the very common infection in women. Since MBL is part of the innate immunity and there are proofs of relation between patients with recurrent infections and lack of MBL, we decided to explore a possible relation between low levels of MBL and different genotypes of MBL in young women and the risk to develop recurrent UTI.

To reassess nutritional status of HIV-infected Thai children living in the family style community after receiving nutrition support program for 6 months.

To investigate the effect of treatment of HIV infection with highly active antiretroviral therapy on individual steps of reverse cholesterol transport, endothelial function and intima-media thickness in HIV patients.

The purpose of this study is to learn about lower respiratory tract and bloodstream diseases among infants born to HIV positive mothers in Botswana. Study factors include how commonly infants get these diseases, the causes, and outcomes. The study will also try to measure the protective effect, if any, of breast feeding on respiratory disease illness and deaths.
