Same Day Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary TB (TB Serositis and TB Meningitis).
Extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) accounts for nearly 30% of TB cases in HIV endemic settings, such as South Africa. The diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB is complicated by the poor performance of Gene Xpert and TB Culture in extrapulmonary fluid (30-50% sensitive), as well as the poor specificity of ADA. We can …
Regulating Emotions and Behaviors After Brain Injury
After acquired brain injury (ABI), persons can experience emotional and behavioral difficulties, that can be painful both for the person and his/her family. This clinical study aims at measuring the effectiveness of a third wave cognitive behavioral therapy called "dialectical behavior therapy" (DBT). DBT aims at teaching persons emotion regulation …
Feasibility of Exosome Analysis in Cerebrospinal Fluid During the Diagnostic Workup of Metastatic Meningitis (Exo-LCR)
The investigators are interested in one of the most frequent tumor types causing leptomeningeal metastasis in order to investigate whether a profile can be established by a high-throughput clinical proteomic approach. All the data acquired will allow a tailored and promising approach to improve the knowledge of metastatic tumor meningitis.
Evaluation of New Biomarker-based Approaches for Improving the Diagnosis of Childhood Tuberculous Meningitis
The rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in children remains a serious challenge owing to limitations in the existing diagnostic tests. TB meningitis (TBM), an extrapulmonary form of TB, is the most severe manifestation of paediatric TB. TBM results in high morbidity and mortality in children, despite the availability of chemotherapy, …
Diagnostic Accuracy of Imaging Findings in TBM/Spinal Tubercular Arachnoiditis and Correlation With Outcomes
The goal of this Diagnostic accuracy study is To study sensitivity and specificity of sulcal tuberculomas in the diagnosis of tubercular meningitis and To study the correlation of imaging findings in tubercular meningitis and spinal tubercular arachnoiditis with clinical outcomes after completion of therapy Secondary objectives To study the proportion …
National Bacterial Meningitis Study
Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood. Antibiotic treatment recommendations are based on epidemiological and susceptibility data. The epidemiology of bacterialméningitis has changed in recent years, mainly owing to widespread use of different conjugate vaccines. The aim of this prospective national survey is to describe …
Central Nervous System Infections in Denmark
The Danish Study Group of Infections of the Brain is a collaboration between all departments of infectious diseases in Denmark. The investigators aim to monitor epidemiological trends in central nervous system (CNS) infections by a prospective registration of clinical characteristics and outcome of all adult (>17 years of age) patients …
Fungal Infection Susceptibility
This study will follow the course of disease in previously healthy patients with cryptococcosis who developed the disease for no identifiable reason. Participants may be followed for up to 5 years. Individuals with a positive Cryptococcus (neoformans or gattii) culture that are 18 years of age and older without HIV …
Etiology, Pathogenesis, and Natural History of Idiopathic CD4+ Lymphocytopenia
Background Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia (ICL) is a condition in which there is a decreased level of CD4+ lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell), which can lead to opportunistic infections or autoimmune disorders and diseases. Objectives To characterize the natural history with regard to CD4+ T cell count and onset …
Lebanese Interhospital Pneumococcal Surveillance Program
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a bacterium that causes severe infections in children and adults such as meningitis, pneumonia, and blood stream infection. There are many types of these bacteria defined by the type of sugar coat that they have. These are classified as serotypes. There are common serotypes that cause …
