Determinants of HIV-1 Transmission Clusters and Transmitted Drug Resistance in ...

Introduction: In the EU/EEA, men who have sex with men (MSM) is a priority group for the prevention and control of HIV-1 infection. In Portugal, the 2023 HIV incidence rate was 8.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, with 876 new infections, 41.7% in MSM. We aim to characterize HIV-1 transmission clusters (TC) and transmitted drug resistance (TDR) and its sociodemographic, behavioral, clinical, and viral genomic determina...

HIV-1-Transmitted Drug Resistance and Transmission Clusters in Newly Diagnosed ...

Objective: To describe and analyze transmitted drug resistance (TDR) between 2014 and 2019 in newly infected patients with HIV-1 in Portugal and to characterize its transmission networks. Methods: Clinical, socioepidemiological, and risk behavior data were collected from 820 newly diagnosed patients in Portugal between September 2014 and December 2019. The sequences obtained from drug resistance testing were us...

Esta bactéria está presente em produtos de animais, sobretudo gado ovino, caprino e bovino e transmite-se ao humano pela inalação de aerossóis. Sendo uma doença de declaração obrigatória em Portugal desde 1999, é epidemiologicamente relevante em todo o mundo, tanto na sua forma aguda, com relato de vários surtos na última década, como na sua f...

A case control study on the diagnostic potential of multiantigen serological te...

Background: Eradicating tuberculosis (TB) in European countries with high incidence, such as Portugal, rely to a great extent on the ability to perform early accurate diagnosis. For the first time, the diagnostic value of two serologic tests, TB STAT-PAK II and MAPIA, was evaluated for rapid tuberculosis detection in a Portuguese cohort. Materials and Methods: A multicentre case-control study was performed on i...
