Study immune causes of severe viral infections
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people have severe or unusual viral infections, even when they do not have a known immune problem. It collects blood and tissue samples to better understand possible inherited immune issues and may help future diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a severe or unusual viral infection, or a past severe viral infection that did not respond to treatment
- You are currently being followed by a doctor who can refer you to the study
- You are willing to store blood and tissue samples for future immune testing
- If you join as a family member (age 2+), you must be willing to consent and have your blood stored
- You are not pregnant, and you should be able to follow study visits and procedures

This research study looks for genetic factors that may explain why some people develop severe, long-lasting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Researchers will study blood and tissue samples from patients with this rare condition, their healthy relatives, and unrelated volunteers to understand the disease better.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have abnormal immune function, often shown by unusual or repeated infections or long-lasting inflammation. It may involve tests using blood samples and storage of blood for future research.
This study follows people with severe or hard-to-treat HPV-related conditions (and some closely related partners/household contacts) to learn how the virus causes illness and how the immune system responds. It may help doctors better predict who will develop severe disease and guide future treatments.
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people who have or have been exposed to certain viruses (HIV, KSHV, HPV, EBV, or HTLV-1) or who have developed cancer or precancerous skin lesions. The samples help researchers understand how these viruses may lead to cancer.
This trial studies how viruses affect the body, and how the immune system responds, in both healthy people and people with weakened immunity. It may include people who currently have a suspected or recent viral infection, close contacts, people around the time of a viral vaccine, and healthy adults used for comparison.
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have—or might have—an increased risk of infections. It also enrolls their healthy blood relatives so researchers can compare immune features; results may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and why.
