Fever Study in Cambodia Using New DNA Testing
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is looking at people in Cambodia who have a fever or have been in close contact with someone who has a certain infection. Researchers will use a new type of DNA test to try to find the cause of the fever.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 2 months old.
- You must have had a fever of at least 100.4°F (38°C) in the last 24 hours, or have a confirmed infection with a specific 'red flag' germ, or live or work closely with someone who has such an infection.
- You must agree to let your samples be stored for future research and for your genetic data to be shared in public databases.
- You cannot have a medical condition that makes blood draws very difficult.
- You cannot have had surgery in the past month (if you have a fever).
- You cannot have already been in this study within the last 30 days (for fever patients) or 14 days (for close contacts).

This study aims to understand how people's immune systems respond to viruses that spread from animals to humans (zoonotic viruses). If you have had recent contact with potentially infected animals in Cambodia, your participation can help researchers find ways to detect and prevent future outbreaks.
This study looks at how infections spread in villages in Cambodia. If you live in a participating village, you might help us understand and prevent disease outbreaks.
This study is looking at how to better care for people with fever in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. If you have a fever now or very recently, you may be able to join and help doctors learn more about it.
This study looks for the cause of brain infections (meningitis or encephalitis) in children in Cambodia, focusing on Japanese encephalitis virus. It compares healthy children with hospitalized children who have neurological symptoms and fever, to learn how to better diagnose and track this disease.
This study is for people with a recent fever. Researchers want to learn more about what causes fevers in Guinea and how to treat them. You would need to be able to come back for check-ups over 3 weeks.
This study is trying to find the cause of fevers that last from 3 to 21 days in people who are admitted to the hospital. It may help doctors better understand and treat fevers in Nepal.
