Tdap vaccine in burn patients
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving the Tdap vaccine (a combined vaccine against tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough) to burn patients is safe and works well. It aims to see if the vaccine can help prevent infections in burn wounds.

This study collects tissue and blood samples from burn patients to improve a computer model that predicts sepsis (a severe infection). The goal is to help doctors identify and treat sepsis earlier in burn patients.
This study tracks blood markers of infection in severely burned patients in the ICU. The goal is to see if these markers can help doctors detect sepsis earlier and guide treatment.
This study tests a special camera that takes pictures of burns to help doctors see how deep they are. It is for people with recent heat burns on their head, hands, or feet, and aims to improve how doctors decide on treatment.
This trial tests a new combined vaccine that protects against whooping cough, diphtheria, and tetanus for people aged 10 and older. It aims to see if the vaccine is safe and how well it works to boost immunity in teens and adults.
This trial tests a new vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough). It is for healthy infants who are about 2 months old and live permanently in the area. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and works well.
This study checks if the protection from an earlier vaccine (against whooping cough, diphtheria, and tetanus) lasts over time. Participants from a previous study will give blood samples to measure their immune response.
