Strep throat and head/neck infection study with hospital samples
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at germs (microbiology) in people with a new, short-term head and neck infection caused by streptococcus bacteria. Your sample would help researchers learn more about these infections and how they behave.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be older than 18 years
- Have a new (acute) head and neck infection caused by streptococcus bacteria
- Have a sample taken at Northampton General Hospital
- Agree to take part in the research after thinking about it for at least 24 hours

This study tests “new technologies” to identify what virus is causing a respiratory illness, using samples taken from inside your nose. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate answers about the cause of your symptoms.
This study looks at neck infections to understand which germs cause them and how they relate to symptoms. It may help doctors choose better treatments.
This study looks at patients with complicated infections of the ear, nose, throat, or neck that are treated at a specific hospital in Slovenia. The goal is to learn more about these infections and how they are managed.
This study collects tissue and fluid samples from people with head and neck disorders to help researchers learn more about these conditions. By donating leftover samples from your regular medical care, you can help advance research without extra procedures.
This study uses tonsil tissue that is removed during a routine tonsillectomy to grow tiny 'organoids' in the lab. Researchers will study how germs interact with human cells, which could lead to better treatments for infections.
This study looks at “immune signals” in blood, saliva, and stool to learn more about head and neck cancers (especially squamous cell carcinoma). It may help researchers find patterns that improve understanding of disease or how treatment should be guided.
