Main: To assess the effect of an early extra measles immunization between 6and 12 months of age on the development of humoral and cell-mediatedimmunity against measles following routine MMR immunization at 14months of age.Secundary:Determine effect…
Primary: Evaluate new influenza A (H1N1) disease (pandemic influenza) incidence of vaccinated compared to unvaccinated individuals. Secondary: * Obtain data on immunogenicity of pandemic influenza vaccination:- Evaluation of the humoral immune…
the first objective of this study is to quantify the impact of chronic Q-fever or QFS on work status and psychosocial functioning. Secondly, we will identify factors that are associated with these limitations, to determine which subgroups of…
The primary objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of V-MRSA in areas with high density of pig farming compared to the expected prevalence of MRSA in the general population of The Netherlands and as a secondary objective to assess…

Overall aim: To study the influence of M.leprae antigens on differentiation and maturation of DCs and to identify M.leprae antigens, receptors on antigen presenting cells and signaling pathways which play a role in leprosy pathology. Main objective…
The assessment of the duration of the cellular immunity to Bordetella pertussis after an extra ACV booster and the relationship between the memory B- cells and antibody responses. The methods used in the study are:B- and T- cell memory responses and…
- To assess the burden of disease of congenital CMV infection in the Netherlands at the age of 5 to 6 years through the assessment of the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss due to congenital CMV infection.- To establish the burden of disease…
Clarifying the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the T cell response targeting and controlling polyomavirus BKV.
Main objective: To quantify mumps transmission parameters in exposed individuals, comparing symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, to understand and model ongoing transmission; Secondary: to assess cellular immuunresponses in mumps exposed infected and…
The aim of our descriptive study was to quantify the disease burden leading to hospital-based care, repatriation or death in Dutch travelers during their stay in a foreign country, including Europe. The outcome of this study could be used as…

1A) To implement a screening-protocol for HIV related co-morbidities and their risk factors, based on multidisciplinary expert consultation, in a large HIV outpatient clinic and among an HIV-uninfected control group.1B) To assess the prevalence and…
Objective: To investigate the adipose tissue response upon ex vivo SARS-CoV-2 infection, more specifically to answer the following questions:1. Is adipose tissue permissive to direct SARS-CoV-2 infection? 2. Are adipose tissue-derived factors…
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether the use of the EOS calculator safely reduces antibiotic exposure in newborns with suspected EOS in the first 24 hours after birth compared to the current Dutch guidelines.Secondary…
To study the kinetics of the vaccine-induced antibody response against HPV16/18 after a two-dose schedule by measuring these antibody responses at approximately 7, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108 and 120 months following the first dose of HPV-…
To identify molecular biomarker profiles that are associated with cervical tumorigenesis, and that can be used for development of an algorithm for detection of low grade CIN1, CIN2, CIN3 and cervical cancer. The algorithm should provide advice for…
