The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Human Adenovirus (HAdV) detection by different methods (Direct Fluorescence Assay DFA and Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction nested PCR), among samples collected from different groups of pediatric patients. METHODS: Collection of...
Influenza virus surveillance among young children in São Paulo, Brazil: the imp...
Cabeça,Tatiane Karen; Watanabe,Aripuanã; Moreira,Luciana Peniche; Melchior,Thaís Boim; Perosa,Ana Helena; Camargo,Clarice; Parmezan,Sheila NegriniThis study assessed the presence of influenza virus among young children and the coverage of vaccination from 2010 to 2012 in São Paulo, Brazil. Our results demonstrated a lower rate of influenza detection and a predominance of influenza B. A decrease of coverage vaccination through the surveillance periods was observed.

Watanabe,Aripuana; Carraro,Emerson; Camargo,Clarice; Puerari,Diane; Guatura,Sandra; Granato,Celso; Bellei,NancyINTRODUCTION: Human adenoviruses (HAdV) play an important role in the etiology of severe acute lower respiratory infection, especially in immunocompromised individuals. The aim of the present study was detect the HAdV through different methods: direct fluorescence assay (DFA) and nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR-nested) from patients with acute respiratory infection (ARI) up to 7 days of symptoms onset.MET...
Respiratory virus infections among hospitalized patients with suspected influen...
Watanabe,Aripuanã Sakurada Aranha; Carraro,Emerson; Moreira,Luciana; Camargo,Clarice; Sinohara,Juliana; Puerari,Diane; Guatura,Sandra; Granato,CelsoINTRODUCTION: During the first pandemic wave of the influenza A H1N1 2009 virus, morbidity was particularly high in Brazil. Hospitalizations resulting from severe respiratory disease due to suspected influenza-like illness created an opportunity to identify other respiratory viruses causing lower respiratory infections. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess viral etiologies among samples collected ...
