Study of people with higher risk of fungal infections
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at immune system differences that can make some people get unusual or frequent fungal (fungus) infections. It may help researchers better understand these conditions, and you may be asked to store blood for future research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be seen at the NIH Clinical Center as an outpatient (age 2 years and up; no severe infections for children 3 and under).
- Have an immune problem linked to recurrent or unusual fungal infections, or past lab evidence of immune dysfunction.
- Have a primary doctor outside of NIH (patient and relative group).
- Be willing to sign consent and allow your blood to be stored for future research.
- For relatives: be a close family member (parent, sibling, child, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or first cousin) of someone in the study.

This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
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.
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 looks for genetic causes of immune problems, such as unusually frequent infections, abnormal allergies, or autoimmune or inflammation conditions. It may help by improving how doctors understand these disorders and by matching families with possible genetic diagnoses.
This study collects blood (and sometimes related samples) to learn how genes and the immune system work in people with primary immunodeficiency (PID) or in family members who may not have it. The goal is to improve understanding of rare immune conditions and help guide future care.
This study screens people who may have an inherited immune system condition (like problems with immune cell growth or death) and their blood relatives. The goal is to understand the condition better by collecting blood samples for testing.
