This study's major aim is to determine whether a relation can be found between specific penile HPV types and the presence, quantity and size of flat penile lesions. Secondly, other possible determinants, such as HIV status, circumcision status…
The aim of this study is to determine whether the presence and the extent of periodontitis are independently related to the presence and extent of coronary calcification.To determine if periodontal treatment has an positive effect on the…
With this study we aim to provide insight in the role of pulmonary RAS in the pathogenesis of ARDS in neonates and children. This study is performed in the context of a comparative study assessing the impact of age on the pulmonary RAS in ARDS. We…
In this exploratory pilot study, we aim to investigate the role of immune activation in osteoporosis in HIV-infected patients on HAART with proven osteoporosis/ osteopenia in comparison to HIV-infected patients on HAART without osteoporosis/…
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of orally administered metformin on the immune and metabolic responses of stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC*s) and macrophages from healthy individuals.
In this project, we aim to study how local and systemic antibody by distinct B- and T-cell populations control periodontal health, in particular control the conversion of gingivitis into destructive periodontitis. Which types of B cell responses are…
The primary objective is to investigate quality of life after switch to a combination therapy including boosted DRV and DTG. Secondary objectives are to investigate 1) the residual viral replication, 2) level of virus production from infected cells…
To investigate the relation between different autonomic function tests in critically ill patients.
Discover diagnostic biomarkers for disease severity. Increase the insight in the epidemiology of viral infections in the primary, secondary and tertiary care facilities and in the pathogenesis of and immunological response against viral infections.

The primary objective is acquiring insights in the development of BOS in patients after human lung transplantation in an early phase of the disease which can be used to improve immunotherapeutic handling in order to prevent or delay the onset of BOS…
The primary objective is to confirm the hypothesis that Maraviroc stimulates immune recovery; the ssecondary objective is to explore, by virologic and immunologic investigations, the underlying mechanisms of this hypothesis.
The aim of the study is to explore the prevalence of HAND in people living with hiv.
To determine the genetic risk of susceptibility to, or severity of community-acquired pneumonia by comparing the interpersonal genetic variation of the host immune response of patients with community-acquired pneumonia to healthy controls and by…
1. To determine, in patients treated with TNF α blockers and living in the Q-fever endemic area, the prevalence of antibodies against C. burnetii and the prevalence of chronic Q fever.2. To assess other determinants in this group of patients which…
