Active clinical trials for "Fever"

Emergent and infectious diseases are a public health priority on Reunion Island. Amongst public health threats, the infection due to Coxiella burnetii (Q fever) seems to have appeared on Reunion island in 2007 with two hospitalised confirmed cases (one death) and one probable case with a goat farmer. According to the investigator, the diffusion of C. burnetti is more ancient and such diagnosis have been made in the last 30 years with 80 positive serologies identified between 2005 and 2011. Considering the high epidemic power of this disease, its often silent clinical expression and its life-threatening condition, the principal investigator wishes to perform a sero-epidemiological study in order to establish or to reject the risk of emergence of Q fever in Reunion island. The study will be performed on pregnant women because Q fever is responsible for particular complications during pregnancy and because the number of pregnancy followed on Reunion island is stable from one year to the other. The pregnant women population presenting the same exposure criteria as the general population, this population will be used to extrapolate to the general population of the island.

To test whether Karius Infectious Disease Diagnostic Sequencing assay can detect Dengue Virus in plasma from suspected cases of Dengue or Dengue Fever like-illnesses from samples collected as part of a hospital-based multi-site study conducted in Nepal.

Evaluate the reproducibility and validate a posteriori a new rule of clinical decision on a multi-center population of children with a post-chemotherapy febrile neutropenia

Yellow fever is an acute viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes in South America, Central America and Africa. It is more prevalente in males gender and the age above 15 years due to the greater exposure in the wild endemic area of yellow fever. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a single dose of the yellow fever vaccine is sufficient to maintain protective immunity against yellow fever for a lifetime, therefore a booster dose is not required. This issue is difficult to evaluate because there is no serological correlate of protection against yellow fever and seropositivity is defined with several cut-off points. Although studies indicate that the duration of protection after vaccination is long, many studies have demonstrated a reduction of the antibody titrer over the years. Consequently, there is more concern about people who live in endemic areas. For this reason, Brazil recommends revaccinating once at least until additional studies are performed. It is important to know the duration of immunity induced by lower doses of YF vaccine. In our knowledge, there is a lack of clinical studies evaluating the immunity duration of the yellow fever vaccine with lower doses. This information is relevant to subsidize the routine recommendation of YF vaccine fractional dose for adults.

Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common neurological disorder in chilhood. The etiology of FN is still the subject of numerous studies and it is known that it can depend on genetic predisposition.

Whole blood samples will be collected from febrile patients presenting with fever of unknown origin and flu-like syndromes. Collection sites will consent patients and collect one (1) 4 mL whole blood sample from adults and either (1) 2 mL pediatric whole blood sample or 0.5 mL whole blood sample collected in a micro collection container from pediatric patients from each patient enrolled into the study. Study site will test whole blood samples received from collection sites daily using the Applied Biosystems™ Bacillus anthracis Detection Kit. Data generated will demonstrate product specificity when testing febrile whole blood samples.

The Academic centre for Malignant Hyperthermia of Masaryk University (ACMHMU) was established in 2021 in Brno, Czech Republic and consists of four academic departments of Medical Faculty of Masaryk University in two tertiary university hospitals, University Hospital Brno and St. Anne Faculty Hospital. These departments collaborated and operated since 2002 and since 2019 is Brno one of the of centre of EMHG (www.emhg.org). Aim of this study was to describe the Czech and Slovak (CZ-SK) cohort of MHS patients, the biggest Slavonic MHS cohort known by now, and to fill the knowledge gap about the Slavonic population in perspective of MH.

The study is conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the NIT thrmometer by comparing the predictive measurement to equilibrium measurement and to make a final tuning to the thermometer algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to detect acute febrile episodes and dengue infection in five Latin American countries to assess dengue seroprevalence. Primary objectives: To identify acute febrile episodes among the cohort in order to detect the presence of dengue infection. To describe the dengue seroprevalence among the cohort at baseline and at the end of the study.

The purpose of this study was to define and classify antibacterial agents used in Turkey for patients with febrile neutropenia.
