The purpose of this research study is to establish a research database and biorepository for
patients at National Jewish Health (NJH) who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) or
Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). This study will also include civilian contractors who
worked as part of these military operations in Iraq or Afghanistan. The biorepository would
store blood samples obtained from these patients during a clinic visit. The research database
would store prospectively and retrospectively collected clinical and exposure data that would
enable us to comprehensively characterize each case.

All NJH patients who served in southwest Asia will be approached for inclusion in the study.
This will also attempt to contact patients evaluated previously at NJH for deployment-related
lung disease to obtain informed consent to include data from their medical record and the
research questionnaire in the database.
