Melioidosis Study: Environment, Germs, and Body Defenses
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how environment, germs, and the body's defenses interact in people with melioidosis, a serious infection. Researchers want to compare patients with healthy volunteers and people living in sandbox areas to understand the disease better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 20 years old or older.
- You must have lived in the study area for at least 2 years and plan to stay for the follow-up period.
- If you are a melioidosis patient, you must have a confirmed positive test for Burkholderia pseudomallei.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you must not have a history of melioidosis or any current serious illness, fever, or skin infection.
- Melioidosis patients cannot have active tuberculosis, HIV, or have used immunosuppressive therapy in the past year.

This research study aims to better understand why some people develop unusual bacterial infections (mycobacterial infections) that don't respond well to standard treatments. Researchers will examine your immune system and may study family members to identify genetic factors that increase infection risk.
This study looks at the bacteria (microbiome) living on the skin in people with specific skin conditions, and in healthy volunteers. The results may help researchers understand what skin microbes have to do with these diseases.
This study follows adults with suspected or confirmed melorheostosis to understand how the condition develops and what outcomes to expect. It may help researchers better understand the disease and its genetic factors.
This study looks at how the immune system and natural germs in the lungs work in people who have recently been in close contact with someone with active tuberculosis (TB). It aims to better understand how the body responds to TB exposure.
This trial is looking for adults who might have tuberculosis, a related infection called non-tubercular mycobacteriosis, or a hidden (latent) tuberculosis infection. You will provide a sample for testing, and the study will help doctors understand and manage these infections better.
This study looks at how the immune system reacts to Leishmania infection and searches for new ways to diagnose the disease. It may help develop better tests for leishmaniasis.
