Study immune problems and fungal infections
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fungal infection in the skin/mouth (mucocutaneous) and/or deep in the body (invasive), or a history of one
- You have an immune system problem known or suspected—either inherited or acquired—related to these fungal infections
- You (or your parent/guardian) can give informed consent
- You agree to store blood and tissue samples for future research
- You agree to genetic testing from blood, body fluids, or tissue
- You agree to HIV testing

This study is testing a new blood or fluid test that may find drug-resistant fungus in people with a weakened immune system who have a serious lung infection. The results could help doctors choose the right medicine faster.
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.
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 at genetic reasons why some people are susceptible to a serious fungal infection called cryptococcosis. Researchers will collect blood samples and perform genetic testing to understand the immune system differences that make certain individuals more vulnerable to this infection.
This research study aims to better understand why some people develop unusual bacterial infections (mycobacterial infections) that don't respond well to standard treatments. Researchers will examine your immune system and may study family members to identify genetic factors that increase infection risk.
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.
