Study care after contact with serious infectious germs
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study helps doctors manage people who may have been exposed to, infected with, or are recovering from dangerous infectious germs (including emerging outbreaks). It may help by setting safe evaluation and care steps after these high-risk exposures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older (or be eligible for an NIH pediatric admission rule).
- You are either a healthcare worker involved in care, or a person who is sick or potentially exposed.
- Your situation must match an infection or exposure scenario tied to dangerous germs (confirmed or suspected).
- You must have symptoms or findings that fit infection, OR a credible exposure route (close contact, body fluids, contaminated items, food/water, or being in an affected area).
- You must be medically stable enough to transfer to the NIH Clinical Center.
- You must be willing and able to follow the study rules and sign informed consent.

This trial helps doctors evaluate possible infection or inflammation and decide on the best management plan. You may be able to receive specialized care at the NIH if the study team thinks your situation fits.
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.
This trial studies how patients are medically managed after being exposed to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRNE) attack. It may help improve care for people who are treated after these rare disasters, using real medical information recorded by hospital staff.
This study is for people who are in the hospital with a serious infection caused by injection drug use. It aims to provide better care and support while you are in the hospital and after you leave.
This study observes adults hospitalized with a new or recent infection (symptoms started within 30 days). The goal is to learn more about how infections affect people in the hospital, without testing any new drugs or treatments.
This trial is a quick survey to see if you might be eligible for future infectious disease studies. It helps researchers understand your health background and find the right study for you.
