Active clinical trials for "Infections"

The Study aims to prospectively survey the incidence of respiratory virus infections using molecular methodologies, in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

The primary aims of this study are to identify and characterize the immediate consequences of patients who fail fluconazole treatment during the treatment of severe infection, and to determine if fluconazole failures are more frequently associated with fluconazole-resistant or fluconazole-susceptible strains of C. albicans.

There are many studies regarding possible causes of increasing trend in frequency of allergic diseases in the last three decades. Main causes of this trend are: decrease of infectious diseases frequency, improvement in life level, changes in diet and lactic acid bacterias elimination from digestive tract. Primary Purpose of this study is to compare the prevalence of atopy and atopic diseases in two child populations: foster care and reference children and - to define risk and protective factors for the development of atopy.

The objectives of this multinational study are to assess the clinical outcomes of patients with Acinetobacter bloodstream infection and to further assess the predictors of mortality in this patient population. We also aim to characterize the molecular epidemiology of this remarkable organism in an attempt to further understand its transmission dynamics on a global level and to determine whether increased pathogenicity is geographically dependent.

The purpose of this proposal is clinical validation of an electrochemical biochip for rapid pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility determination.

One year prospective analysis of drug utilization and prescription point prevalence of medications in a pediatric tertiary care university medical center. Off-label use of medications in the study population will be also registered.

The purpose of this study is to determine if an infectious disease may be associated with the new lymphoma diagnosis. Infections to be tested include: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori): This is a bacteria sometimes found in the stomach that has been associated with a particular kind of lymphoma, gastric MALT. We are interested to learn if the H. pylori infection may be associated with other indolent lymphomas. Hepatitis C: This virus infection of the liver has been found in association with non-follicular lymphomas in Italy. We want to determine if the infection is associated with lymphomas in the United States. Bacterial overgrowth of the small bowel: Since indolent lymphomas often affect the lymph nodes surrounding the small bowel, it may be possible that an infection within the bowel is stimulating lymphoma growth. This has never been demonstrated to date, and will be studied in this clinical study. Epstein-Barr virus: This is the virus that causes infectious mononucleosis or "mono." It has been associated with other rapidly growing lymphomas, but not indolent lymphoma.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the incidence of severe RSV LRTI requiring hospitalization among infants born < 35 weeks gestational age for one year of follow-up.

Observation of the initial Procalcitonin values and the clinical course of consecutively included patients with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections at general medical practices in greater Hannover.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of T helper 17 cells (Th17) in the pathogenesis of MRSA infections.
