Only standard diagnostic procedures and conventional therapy will be performed. Patients will not be subjected to any research procedures. This protocol does not commit the NIH to medical or surgical treatment of protocol participants after discharge. Patients will be discharged to the referring physician.
Consenting to pregnancy testing in minors of childbearing age:
We will inform the minor during the assent process that for safety, we need to do a pregnancy test. She will also be told that if it is positive, we will counsel her and help her tell her parents.
