No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Background:

Many people suffer from diarrhea every year. In the United States, it leads to about 130,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths a year. Researchers want to test a tool that may show them what germs cause diarrhea. It is a simple paper strip test and doesn t require electric power. This may make it easier for health care workers to more quickly fight diarrheal diseases.

Objective:

To test a tool that may detect what germs cause diarrhea.

Eligibility:

People already enrolled in an active NIH protocol who have diarrhea

Design:

Participants will have 1 or 2 studies. They will give information about their symptoms, current medicines, and basic personal data. They will give a stool sample.

Part of each sample will be tested in a lab. The rest will be stored indefinitely. No personal data will be connected to the samples. The stored samples may be used in future research.

Positive test results will be reported to a participant s primary doctor
