The virus that causes COVID-19 disease infects many people, but only some get sick. We want to understand how COVID affects the immune system and what makes severe COVID infections different from other diseases that cause hospitalization and breathing problems. We collect samples of blood, sputum, urine, and stool from patients in the hospital to learn how COVID affects cells and molecules of the immune system.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
