Study summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate streptococcal carriage by swab, pharyngeal, anal and perineal in patients with DHBN-FN, in the entourage living under the same roof as well as patients with erysipelas

The main hypothesis is the major role of chronic porting of patients and entourage in DHBN-FN to SBH.

Indeed, the chronic pharyngeal / anal / perineal carriage could be a gateway following a transient bacteremia for a DHBN-FN.

The transmission of germs from the surrounding to the patient plays a major role:

At the gateway level in the case of exogenous DHBN-FN At the origin of chronic carriage in the case of endogenous DHBN-FN Transmission of germs from the patient to the surrounding area also plays an important role in increasing the risk of invasive SBH infections in the surrounding area.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    DHBN-FN arm

    Recruitment is planned in traditional hospitalization for DHBN-FN patients. Evaluation of streptococcal carriage by swab, pharyngeal, anal and perineal in patients hospitalized for a DHBN-FN at the end of hospitalization and 1 month after discharge from hospital during the reassessment consultation. Swabs made by the dermatologist. The carriage of streptococcus in patients living under the same roof as patients with DHBN-FN will be evaluated by pharyngeal swab, anal and perineal. If the family accepts, the carriage of streptococcus in persons living under the same roof as patients with DHBN-FN will be evaluated by pharyngeal, anal and perineal swab in consultation. These swabs will be made within 10 days of diagnosis of DHBN-FN of the index

    Other: DHBN-FN arm

  • Active comparator
    Control arm (Erysipelas)

    Recruitment is planned in traditional hospitalization for patients with erysipelas. The carriage of streptococcus in patients with erysipelas will be evaluated by pharyngeal, anal and perineal swab on day 0 (admission).

    Other: Control arm (Erysipelas)

Interventions

  • OtherDHBN-FN arm

    DHBN-FN will be evaluated by pharyngeal swab, anal and perineal. If the family accepts, the carriage of streptococcus in persons living under the same roof as patients with DHBN-FN will be evaluated by pharyngeal, anal and perineal swab in consultation. These swabs will be made within 10 days of diagnosis of DHBN-FN of the index

  • OtherControl arm (Erysipelas)

    The carriage of streptococcus in patients with erysipelas will be evaluated by pharyngeal, anal and perineal swab on day 0 (admission).

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 20, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
