Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The global outbreak of COVID-19 is a major public health problem. COVID-19 causes a wide range of symptoms. These symptoms range from mild breathing problems to life-threatening problems or death. Some people have no symptoms. This study aims to learn how acute and late immune responses to COVID-19 lead to different outcomes. The immune system is the body s defense against germs, including viruses, that invade the body. Objective: To characterize the immune responses during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection and determine if there is any relationship to clinical course and outcome. Eligibility: People ages 0 99 who have confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, people who are not infected despite heavy exposure, and relatives of enrolled participants. Design: This is a sample collection protocol to receive send-in biological specimens for exploratory studies, including gene testing. Participants will not be seen at the NIH for study visits. Study staff will talk with participants health care providers to screen them for the study. Participants enrolled into the protocol will send samples and clinical information at least once and more often if the participant has COVID-19. All participants will provide blood samples and possibly stool. We may also ask for left over specimens from any medical procedures completed as part of medical care. The study staff will also request participants health care providers to complete a survey to collect demographic and medical data. Some of this information may need to be provided directly by the participant. Pregnant individuals are invited to participate and may be asked to give cord blood samples after delivery. Study findings that affect participants health may be shared with their health care provider. Depending on findings, participants may be contacted to take part in other NIH studies.
A multi-center sample collection study in patients presenting with pigmented lesion(s) suspicious for melanoma. All suspicious lesions should meet at least one of the "ABCDE" criteria.
Background: The immune system defends the body against disease. It has many different parts spread out in the body, including in the blood and skin. To learn more about it, researchers want to study samples from people with healthy immune systems and people with conditions that affect how the immune system works. Objective: To learn about how the different parts of the immune system come together to make a whole. Eligibility: People age 2 and older who have a condition that affects the immune system or have a family member with such a condition. Design: Participants will be screened with medical and medicine review. Other lab tests may also be reviewed. Some participants will take a pregnancy test. Participants will give blood samples. They may also give saliva, stool, and urine samples. A sterile cotton swab may be rubbed over their skin or inside the cheek or nose to collect cells. If participants have samples collected as part of their regular medical care, their doctor may be asked to send parts of the samples that otherwise would be thrown away. These samples may be from biopsies, endoscopies, or other procedures. Some participants may have optional skin punch biopsies. For this, their skin is numbed. Then a tool removes 1 or 2 small pieces of skin from the forearm or thigh. Participants medical records will be checked to see if they have any changes in their health over time. If they have a study visit, they may talk about their medical history and have a physical exam. Participation lasts 5 years....

Background: The way the body heals and protects itself from getting sick is called the immune response. Some people with weak immune systems get sick often or get rashes and skin infections. Researchers want to find out how the immune system and skin problems are related so they can help these people. Objective: To learn about how immune response and skin healing are related to each other. Eligibility: People ages 18-65 with hyper IgE syndrome or Job syndrome or people ages 7-65 with chronic granulomatous disease. Healthy volunteers ages 18 65 are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Possible urine tests Participants will have 1 to 3 visits within about a week. Visits will include the following: Participants will have a wells device strapped to the inside of the forearm. It will suction the skin and pull the top layer away to form 8 blisters. The skin over the blisters and the liquid inside will be collected. Participants will have up to 4 skin biopsies. A sharp tool will remove a small plug of skin from the forearm. Participants may have blood and urine tests. The skin on participants skin will be rubbed with a cotton swab. Some participants will have an overnight visit. They will have the blister device placed back on the arm. The wells will be lined up over the blister wounds. The wells will be filled with either saline or the participant s blood serum. The device will be covered and left on the arm for up to 24 hours. Doctors will periodically remove some liquid from the wells.
