This study will collect blood plasma and white blood cells for laboratory research using a procedure called apheresis. Apheresis is a method of collecting larger quantities of certain blood components than can safely be collected through a simple blood draw.
Patients 7 years of age and older with a parasitic infection or condition associated with a parasitic infection (i.e., elevated levels of IgE antibodies or of a type of white cell called eosinophils) who are currently enrolled in a NIH clinical research protocol may be eligible for this study. Relatives of patients and normal healthy volunteers will also be enrolled. Candidates will have a medical history, physical examination and blood tests. Individuals weighing less than 25 kilograms (55 pounds) may not participate.
Participants will undergo one of the following two apheresis procedures:
In order to carry out in vitro research procedures on the plasma or leukocyte components of blood, it is often necessary to obtain larger quantities of plasma and/or leukocytes, than can be safely obtained by simple phlebotomy. These components can be easily and safely obtained using apheresis procedures in the Clinical Center Apheresis Unit. This protocol is specifically designed to conform to the requirements of the Apheresis Unit for donors to have apheresis procedures (>7 years of age and greater than or equal to 25kg). Donors must first be admitted to another approved clinical research protocol of the LPD, NIAID before they may have the apheresis procedures described in this protocol. The investigational nature of the studies in which the samples will be used, as well as the risks and benefits of the donation process will be explained to all donors, and a signed informed consent document will be obtained.

Leukocytes, platelets and plasma will be collected. Since this protocol only allows for apheresis to be performed on participants enrolled on another LPD protocol, any biological samples collected will be covered by the other, individual protocol on which the participant is enrolled.
