Cupolillo, Elisa; Brahim, Lúcia Regina; Toaldo, Cristiane Bentin; Paes de Oliveira-Neto, Manoel; Brito, Maria Edileuza Felinto de; Falqueto, Aloi?ioNumerical zymotaxonomy and variability of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) between the small and large subunits of the rRNA genes were used to examine strain variation and relationships in natural populations of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis. A total of 101 strains from distinct hosts and Brazilian geographic regions were assigned to 15 zymodemes clustered in two major genetic groups. The great number...

Lima, Elaine Cristina Bomfim de; Barbosa Júnior, Walter Lins; Brito, Maria Edileuza Felinto de; Melo, Fábio Lopes de; Brandão Filho, Sinval PintoVisceral leishmaniasis, associated with HIV/AIDS coinfection, is becoming a more aggressive disease, complicating an accurate prognosis. A 21-year-old HIV-positive female presenting with clinical features of visceral leishmaniasis was enrolled in this study. Bone marrow cytology, Novy-MacNeal-Nicolle culture and kDNA PCR of peripheral blood were all positive. Typing methods, multilocus enzyme electrophoresis an...
