Primary objectivesLongitudinal quantification of the total latent HIV reservoir with determination of the size of the replication competent HIV reservoir and investigate potential biomarkers of the HIV reservoir size and nature.Cross compare the…
To evaluate whether neuromuscular ultrasound discriminates between patients with and without ICU-AW.To detect differences between patients that do and do not have ICU-AW in order to determine relevant cut-offs which can be used in future diagnostic…
Primary objective: to assess the UCP-LF CAA test in travellers with high-risk water contact as compared to routine diagnostics
Primary objective:1. To evaluate the frequency of invasive fungal infections in a prospective pediatric oncology cohort and to identify the determinants of such invasive infections.2. Clinical validation of novel innovative diagnostic methods for…
To evaluate the role of white blood cell (WBC) scintigraphy in monitoring the response of infection treatment of a prosthetic joint infection.
The objectives of this study are: 1) To assess the user friendliness of the DBS self-sampling technique.2) To assess the quality of ssDBS.3) To estimate the agreement between viral loads in ssDBS and laboratory spotted DBS (labDBS).
To identify and quantify the HIV reservoir in T-cell subsets of patients who have been on ART for almost 20 years.
First, to explore relationships between immunological factors (cytokines and chemokines), psychological stress, and pain, controlled for infection. Second, to explore relationships between immunological factors (MBL), bacterial colonisation and…
Predicting fluid responsiveness during PLR and fluid challenge (FC) by changes in (Pms).
The primary objective of the study is to determine sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of the enzyme analyses (myeloperoxidase, human neutrophil elastase and lysozyme) with wound biopsies as the gold standard.…
Primary: to determine the percentage of ILI attributable to influenza virus in elderly individuals * 60 years of age Secondary: to determine the relative contribution of influenza viral subtypesSecondary: to determine humoral and cellular immune…
To determine the prevalence of HIV infection in patients presenting at the ED of the Erasmus MC, Maasstad Hospital or AMC
To assess short-term and long-term complications of mumps-associated orchitis in vaccinated men
To asess whether the Chlamydia Antibody Test (CAT), used to determine the presence of antichlamydia IgG antibodies in serum for diagnostics in the fertility clinic, can serve as an intermediate marker for PID/tubal pathology caused by Chlamydia.
To develop a screening test to predict ICU-AW at an early stage in patients admitted to the ICU. Also by prospectively following the patient group in time, this study aims to describe the natural history and functional limitations in patients…
The objective is determine the correlation between the outcome of the cultures of the nasopharyngeal swab, the nose swab, the swab from a handkerchief and the handkerchief.
The primary goal of this study is to determine if the use of multi-site NIRS-monitoring in newborn infants at risk of circulatory failure could lead to a better diagnosis, treatment and outcome in these infants compared to the use of conventional…
Assess duration of Ct positivity in the 8 weeks after treatment as well as the Ct bacterial load and RNA in time-sequential samples
Primary Objective: The purpose of this pilot study is to determine cut offs for both Procalcitonin and MR-proADM in stable CF patients. These measurements will be compared with Procalcitonin and MR-proADM values in CF patients with a pulmonary…
We will investigate whether Chlamydia IgG antibody presence and titers in vaginal swabs (mucosa-CAT) are comparable to antibodies found in serum (serum-CAT), and as such could serve as a marker for a past Chlamydia infection with an enhanced risk of…
