Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- SUBJECT INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Subjects (patients and healthy volunteers) 2 years of age and older identified to undergo LP for research or for clinical care purposes at the NIH Clinical Center.
- SUBJECT EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Subjects (patients and healthy volunteers) with the inability to provide informed consent either directly or via a legally authorized representative.
- Inclusion of Vulnerable Subjects - Research Involving Adults Who Are Or May Be Unable To Consent:
- The risks to all subjects involved in this research project are no more than minimal risk as we are only collecting additional CSF and plasma during a LP procedure that is already being performed under a separate research protocol or as a clinically indicated procedure. At the time of the LP it will already be determined if the subject is able to give informed consent and if not a legally authorized representative will have been appointed who will decide if the additional CSF and plasma can be obtained from the individual.
