Acute infections in people with mitochondrial disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with mitochondrial disease respond to acute infections like COVID-19 or the flu. It aims to understand how infections affect the body and to find better ways to care for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) are 2 months old or older
- You have a diagnosis of mitochondrial disease
- You currently have symptoms of an infection (like fever, cough, fatigue) within the last month, or have tested positive for an infection
- Or, you have mitochondrial disease but no current infection
- If you are a family member or household contact, you must weigh more than 4 kilograms (about 8.8 pounds)

This study tests a tiny sensor that measures oxygen levels in muscle. It will help researchers understand how oxygen is used during exercise. If you have mitochondrial myopathy or are a healthy volunteer, you might be able to join.
This study looks at a new way to measure mitochondrial DNA in muscle fibers. It may help people who have a suspected mitochondrial disorder and a genetic change of uncertain significance.
This study looks at how metabolism, infections, and the immune system work together in people with mitochondrial disease. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help guide future treatments.
This natural history study follows children and adults with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial myopathy to better understand symptoms and how the condition changes. It may also include healthy participants to compare test results and improve future treatments.
This study looks at brain chemicals in people with primary mitochondrial disease using an MRI scan. It aims to understand how the disease affects the brain and may help guide future treatments.
This study uses an MRI scan of the lower leg to look for signs of muscle problems in people with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease, and compares them with healthy volunteers. Participants will lie still in the MRI and do a short, mild exercise during the scan to help the researchers see how muscles work.
