Ordinarily, the Strongyloides helminth (type of intestinal worm) causes only few, if any, symptoms, but in people with weakened immunity it may be very serious, and even deadly.\n\nPeople between 5 and 80 years of age with known or suspected S. stercoralis infection, or infection with another helminth, such as filariasis, that might cause a cross-reaction with S. stercoralis may be eligible for this study.\n\nParticipants found to be infected with S. stercoralis will be treated with ivermectin, thiabendazole, or albendazole. In addition, they will undergo the following tests and procedures:\n\n* Blood tests and stool samples: Samples will be collected before and after treatment to check general health status and immune function, and to look for parasites in stool. Up to 50 milliliters (10 teaspoons) of blood will be drawn in adults and up to 25 ml (5 teaspoons) in children.\n* Skin tests: A test similar to those used for tuberculosis and allergies will be conducted to determine if there is sensitization to products of the parasite. Such a test might be used as a rapid method to diagnose the infection. About three drops of several different antigens (proteins) are injected into the skin of the arm. After 15 to 20 minutes, the area is checked to see if a red spot has formed and, if so, the spot is measured.", "detailedDescription"=>"This study is directed to patients with known or suspected Strongyloides stercoralis infection because it is a relatively common parasitic infection, even in the United States. It is difficult to diagnose, and efficacy of treatment is difficult to evaluate. Some infected individuals can develop serious even fatal, disease under certain conditions of immunosuppression. Because newer diagnostic methods are needed to diagnose this infection, we have developed new diagnostics that will be evaluated in comparison to more standard diagnostic tests. Serum and cells will also be collected from patients on this protocol to understand the cellular and humoral response to the parasite and its antigens. All subjects proven to have Strongyloides stercoralis infection will be treated with standard therapy and followed to assess both the efficacy of treatment and the changes in humoral and cellular immune responses induced by treatment."}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["CHILD", "ADULT", "OLDER_ADULT"], "maximumAge"=>"80 years", "minimumAge"=>"8 years", "healthyVolunteers"=>false, "eligibilityCriteria"=>"* INCLUSION CRITERIA:\n\nAge of 5 to 80 years and of either sex.\n\nAccess to primary medical care provider outside of the NIH\n\nAbility to give written informed consent (for adults) and parental consent (for those under 18)\n\nPresence of known or suspected infection with Stronglyloides stercoralis, such as significant peripheral blood eosinophilia (greater than 1000 eosinophils/mm(3)) for which no other cause is apparent.\n\nWillingness to participate and provide blood for in vitro assays and serum storage.\n\nEXCLUSION CRITERIA:\n\nLess than 5 years of age\n\nPregnancy is not a criterion for exclusion."}, "identificationModule"=>{"nctId"=>"NCT00001245", "briefTitle"=>"Study of Patients With Strongyloides Stercoralis Infection", "organization"=>{"class"=>"NIH", "fullName"=>"National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)"}, "officialTitle"=>"Study of Patients With Known or Suspected Infection With Strongyloides Stercoralis", "orgStudyIdInfo"=>{"id"=>"890174"}, "secondaryIdInfos"=>[{"id"=>"89-I-0174"}]}, "contactsLocationsModule"=>{"locations"=>[{"zip"=>"20892", "city"=>"Bethesda", "state"=>"Maryland", "country"=>"United States", "facility"=>"National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, 9000 Rockville Pike", "geoPoint"=>{"lat"=>38.98067, "lon"=>-77.10026}}]}, "sponsorCollaboratorsModule"=>{"leadSponsor"=>{"name"=>"National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)", "class"=>"NIH"}}}}
