Blood test for infection in immunocompromised adults
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a blood test that looks for infection by analyzing tiny bits of DNA from microbes. It may help find infections faster in people with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients or those with blood cancers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your immune system is weakened due to a condition or treatment, like an organ transplant, blood cancer, or HIV.
- Your doctor suspects you have an infection and plans to run standard tests.
- You are willing to have a blood sample taken for the study.
- You are being evaluated in an outpatient setting (including telehealth).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a sensitive DNA test (mNGS) to find the exact cause of an infection leads to better treatment for liver transplant recipients who got an infection from their donor.
This study tests whether analyzing stool and urine samples using advanced genetic technology can identify infections causing unexplained illness in people with weakened immune systems. The goal is to find infections faster and help doctors treat them more effectively.
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 tests a new blood testing device on healthy adults to see if it works well and is easy to use. It may help improve how blood tests are done in the future.
This trial tests a new way to take blood from patients with solid tumors or healthy volunteers, grow immune cells in a lab, and then give them back to potentially treat cancer. It may help people whose standard options have run out.
This trial checks if a blood test can find a fungal lung infection in people with blood cancers or those who had a stem cell transplant. The test looks for fungal DNA in the blood (called mNGS). If it works, it could help doctors diagnose the infection faster and more accurately.
