Observational Study of Parasitic Infections

This study aims to understand, treat, and monitor people with known or suspected parasitic infections like malaria or intestinal worms. There are no experimental treatments involved. You may be eligible if you are at least 3 years old and have signs of a parasitic infection. The study will involve physical exams, lab tests on blood, stool, or urine, and possibly X-rays or tissue biopsies. The main goal is to evaluate how well the Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases studies the diagnosis, treatment, and development of these infections over one year. The current recruitment status is unclear.
