This study is for: • Anyone who has had genetic (DNA) testing done with Children's Mercy. • Able to give blood, saliva, cheek swab, or urine sample The purpose of the project is to better understand how differences in a person's genetics—or DNA—affect how their body breaks down and responds to different medicines. In this repository, we want to learn even more about your genetic (DNA) information than the original testing showed or will show. Once your information and samples are collected, they will be stored at Children's Mercy for use in future studies by the project team.
Severe respiratory illness: Exposure to an antibiotic called Bactrim
This study is for people: • Who had greater than or equal to 6 days of exposure to treatment doses of Bactrim • Who developed severe respiratory complications or lung failure leading to an ICU admission with need for oxygen, a ventilator and/or ECMO...
This study is for people: • Who had greater than or equal to 6 days of exposure to treatment doses of Bactrim • Who developed severe respiratory complications or lung failure leading to an ICU admission with need for oxygen, a ventilator and/or ECMO • Had no other reason found for their respiratory failure The goal of this study is to further define the lung failure process the follows that can rarely follow Bactrim exposure. There are several well understood adverse reactions to Bactrim but severe lung failure is only recently recognized and reported. Researchers need to evaluate more patients to understand why this rare reaction happens to some children and not others.
