This study aims to collect samples and medical information from people of all ages who have or have been exposed to viral infections, including COVID-19 and herpes. Researchers want to understand how viruses affect healthy individuals versus those with weakened immune systems. Pa…

This study collects white blood cells from HIV patients through a process called leukapheresis to examine how the immune system responds to early treatment. Researchers aim to enroll 60 adults—30 with early HIV and 30 with chronic HIV—who are not yet on antiretroviral therapy. Pa…

This study aims to understand how the immune system and skin healing are connected in people with primary immunodeficiency, psoriasis, or eczema, as well as in healthy volunteers. Researchers will collect skin biopsies, blood samples, and optional skin swabs to analyze microbes a…

This study aims to understand the causes and progression of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) and related inborn errors of immunity. Researchers will observe up to 500 patients over time using blood tests, imaging, and other exams. The goal is to find better ways to diagnos…

This study follows about 50 members of a family with a rare inherited condition called familial hypereosinophilia, where high levels of a type of white blood cell can damage the heart and nerves. Researchers will track participants over many years with yearly checkups, blood test…

This study aims to understand why the protection from vaccines like those for COVID-19 fades over time. Researchers will follow 1,200 healthy adults for one year, collecting blood samples and health updates after they receive a vaccine or booster in their community. The goal is t…

This study looks at how the immune system of healthy adults in Cambodia reacts to viruses that can spread from animals to people. Researchers will collect blood samples from 400 people who have close contact with animals, such as those working in wet markets or living near bat ca…

This study looks at how healthy people's skin and immune system respond to tick bites. Researchers will place clean, lab-bred ticks on volunteers' skin and take small skin samples and blood to track changes. The goal is to understand tick resistance and help design future vaccine…

This study looks at immune cells in the lymph nodes of 16 cat-allergic adults. Half are on long-term allergy shots (immunotherapy), half are not. Researchers will give a small cat allergen injection and then sample lymph nodes and blood to see how many analyzable cells they can c…

This study aims to understand why some people with tuberculosis (TB) experience a paradoxical reaction, where they initially improve on treatment but then suddenly get worse. Researchers will follow 140 adults with TB, with or without signs of this reaction, using blood tests, ur…

This study collects biological samples like blood, stool, saliva, and skin swabs from 600 healthy volunteers aged 3 to 80. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health will use these samples to design and improve laboratory tests for other studies. Participants may be asked t…

This study examines how germs living on and in the body, along with environmental factors like pollution, may influence allergic diseases such as asthma and eczema in people living in Mali. Researchers will collect samples and health information from 288 participants, both with a…

This study is for people aged 3 and older who have severe, recurring HPV-related warts or lesions that don't respond to standard treatments. Researchers want to learn why some people get sicker from HPV than others by studying their genes and immune systems. Participants will pro…

This study follows 150 NIH staff members for about a year to see how their immune systems respond to flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Participants give monthly blood and nasal samples to measure antibodies in both the body and the nose. The goal is to understand how long immunity lasts…

This study aims to learn more about PFAPA, a condition that causes repeated fevers, sore throats, and mouth sores in children. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, stool, and tonsil tissue from 1,500 people with PFAPA or other tonsil problems. No treatment is given; the goal i…

This study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of a specific flu virus to give to healthy adults in a controlled setting. About 90 volunteers aged 18 to 55 will be exposed to the virus or a placebo and closely monitored. The goal is to create a reliable model for test…

This study aims to collect blood, nose, and saliva samples from up to 20,000 people aged 3 and older who have or may have a respiratory virus infection like flu or COVID-19. The samples will be stored and used in future research to better understand these viruses and how the immu…

This study is for people with certain autoinflammatory diseases (like NOMID, DIRA, CANDLE, SAVI, and others) and their healthy relatives. Researchers want to learn more about what causes these diseases and how they affect the body over time. Participants will have medical tests a…

This study aims to understand why some adults develop secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH), a serious immune condition causing fevers and organ damage. Researchers will follow 300 participants for up to 3 years, collecting blood samples and medical data to identify…

This study is collecting information on pregnancy and malaria in 9,500 women aged 15-49 in Kalifabougou, Mali. Researchers will track pregnancies, malaria cases, and pregnancy outcomes like preterm birth and anemia. The goal is to better understand these health issues in the comm…
