Training Protocol on the Natural History of Tuberculosis

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Mycobacterium Infections, Tuberculosis, Multidrug-Resistant, Latent Tuberculosis, Tuberculosis, Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis

In brief

Background: \- Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that affects numerous people worldwide. Researchers are interested in actively recruiting individuals with TB for research and treatment studies. Objectives: \- To collect blood and other samples to study the natural history of tuberculosis. Eligibility: \- Individuals 2 years of age and older who have either active or latent tuberculosis. Design: * Latent TB patients: Participants will have a single study visit with a physical examination and medical history, and will provide blood samples for testing. * Active TB patients: Participants will have an initial visit with a physical examination and medical history, and will provide blood samples for testing. Participants will also provide sputum samples if required, and may have an optional skin punch biopsy to collect a sample of skin tissue for study. * Treatment for active TB will be provided as part of this protocol. * Active TB participants may be asked to return for study visits every 1-2 months while receiving treatment....

You may not qualify if…

• Patients will be excluded from this study who:
• Are incarcerated.
• Have been ordered by a court to take TB medications.
• Are unwilling or unable to comply with prescribed therapy.
• Are pregnant.
• EXCLUSION OF SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
• Children: Children under the age of 2 are not eligible to enroll. The addition of the very young will not provide enough additional insights to justify the risk to this specific population.
• Pregnant women: Pregnant women are not eligible for participation in this protocol because the study objectives can be achieved without the enrollment of this population. Enrolled participants who become pregnant during the study will be withdrawn.
