This study tested a new vaccine (NmCV-5) to protect infants against meningitis, a serious infection of the brain and spine. About 1,325 healthy infants in Mali received either the new vaccine or a standard one at 9 or 15 months old. The goal was to see if the new vaccine works as…

This study looked at whether giving the meningitis B vaccine (Bexsero) and the pneumonia vaccine (PCV13) along with routine baby shots is safe and works well. About 1,200 healthy infants aged 6 to 12 weeks took part. Researchers checked for side effects like pain, redness, fever,…

This study tested a new vaccine called BK1310 in 267 healthy infants to see if it protects against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and bacterial meningitis as well as existing vaccines. Infants received three doses, and researchers measured their immune responses. The goal…

This study aimed to create a quick, simple test to diagnose tuberculous meningitis (TBM) in children. TBM is a severe form of TB that affects the brain and is hard to detect with current methods, especially in places with limited resources. Researchers tested 51 inflammatory mark…

This trial is testing the safety of the Menhycia® vaccine in about 3,000 healthy 3-month-old infants who have not yet received any epidemic meningitis vaccine. The infants will receive three doses of the vaccine at least one month apart, with an optional booster at 12 months of a…

This trial is testing an experimental vaccine called Menhycia, designed to protect against four types of meningococcal bacteria (A, C, Y, and W135) that can cause meningitis and bloodstream infections. The study involves about 1,480 healthy adults aged 18 to 55, who will receive …

This trial is testing an experimental vaccine designed to protect against four strains of the bacteria that cause meningococcal meningitis, a serious infection of the brain and spinal cord. The study involves around 840 participants aged 7 to 17, who will receive either the new v…

This study looked for hidden immune system problems in adults who get frequent or severe bacterial infections, like pneumonia or meningitis. Researchers screened 120 adults aged 18-65 to see how many had an undiagnosed primary immunodeficiency. The goal was to find out if these c…

This study looked at how gadolinium, a dye used in MRI scans, changes the QSM signal in the brain's white matter. 73 patients with inflammatory central nervous system conditions had MRI scans before and after receiving gadolinium. The goal was to measure any differences in the si…
