EPICOVID19 protocol: repeated serological surveys on SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in B...
Hallal,Pedro Curi; Barros,Fernando C; Silveira,Mariângela Freitas; Barros,Aluísio Jardim Dornellas de; Dellagostin,Odir Antonio; Pellanda,Lúcia CamposAbstract The first case of COVID-19 was reported in China in December 2019, and, as the virus has spread worldwide, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. Estimates on the number of COVID-19 cases do not reflect it real magnitude as testing is limited. Population based data on the proportion of the population with antibodies is relevant for planning public health policies. We aim to assess the pr...
Serological, parasitological and molecular tests for canine visceral leishmanio...
Nunes,Cáris Maroni; Lima,Valéria Marçal Félix de; Melo,Guilherme Dias de; Paula,Henrique Borges de; Pereira,Maria Esther GonçalvesAbstract One of the measures to control visceral leishmaniosis (VL) in Brazil is the identification and culling of the canine reservoir. There is much controversy concerning this strategy, including the proper identification of positive dogs and the fact that the host-parasite relationship changes over time make it more challenging. A dynamic cohort of 62 dogs was followed every three months using serological a...
Candidemia epidemiology and susceptibility profile in the largest Brazilian tea...
Motta,Adriana Lopes; Almeida,Gisele Madeira Duboc de; Almeida Júnior,João Nóbrega de; Burattini,Marcelo Nascimento; Rossi,FláviaINTRODUCTION: Although the spectrum of fungi causing bloodstream fungal infections continues to expand, Candida spp. remains responsible for the majority of these cases. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to characterize the candidemia epidemiology, species distribution and antifungal susceptibility patterns at a Brazilian tertiary teaching public hospital with 2,500 beds. METHODS: Records from the microb...
HIV infection and related risk behaviors in a community of recyclable waste col...
Rozman,Mauro Abrahão; Alves,Igor Santino; Porto,Marcela Alves; Gomes,Patrícia Oliveira; Ribeiro,Nilva Maria; Nogueira,Lucyene Aparecida AndradeOBJECTIVE: To estimate the seroprevalence of HIV, hepatitis B and C and syphilis and to describe risk behaviors associated to their transmission among recyclable waste collectors. METHODS: A seroepidemiological survey was carried out in the city of Santos, Southeastern Brazil, in 2005. A total of 315 individuals were enrolled in the survey, of which 253 subjects underwent serological testing HIV, hepatitis B an...
Dengue and the risk of urban yellow fever reintroduction in São Paulo State, Br...
Massad,Eduardo; Burattini,Marcelo Nascimento; Coutinho,Francisco Antonio Bezerra; Lopez,Luiz FernandesOBJECTIVE: To propose a mathematical method for the estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number, R0, of urban yellow fever in a dengue-infested area. METHODS: The method is based on the assumption that, as the same vector (Aedes aegypti) causes both infections, all the quantities related to the mosquito, estimated from the initial phase of dengue epidemic, could be applied to yellow fever dynamics. It is demons...
