Human polyomavirus infection: Cytological and molecular diagnosis
Assis,Patricia Gioia de; Carvalho,Maria da Glória da CostaSummary Few studies directly compare urinary cytology with molecular methods for detecting BK and JC polyomaviruses. Reactivation of BKV infection is the main risk factor for the development of nephropathy in immunocompromised individuals. The limitation of the cytological method can be attributed to the stage where the infected cell does not have specific and sufficient morphological characteristics for a conc...
Infecção oral pelo HPV e lesões epiteliais proliferativas associadas
Ferraro,Cíntia Tereza Lima; Canedo,Nathalie Henriques Silva; Oliveira,Silvia Paula de; Carvalho,Maria da Glória da Costa; Dias,Eliane PedraOs papilomavírus humanos (HPVs) pertencem à família Papillomaviridae e seu ciclo de vida é diretamente ligado à diferenciação das células epiteliais do hospedeiro. Possuem seis genes que se expressam precocemente e dois genes que se expressam tardiamente, sendo denominados respectivamente E (early) e L (late). O ácido desoxirribonucleico (DNA) viral dentro da célula do hospedeiro pode assumir duas formas: episs...

Musacchio,Juliane Garcez; Carvalho,Maria da Glória da Costa; Morais,José Carlos Oliveira de; Silva,Nathalie Henriques; Scheliga,Adriana; Romano,SérgioCONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Free circulating Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA is often present in the plasma of Hodgkins disease patients. The aim here was to evaluate the prevalence of this finding, its correlation with the immunohistochemical expression of LMP-1 (latent membrane protein 1) and the influence of other clinical factors. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective study in two public tertiary institutions: Hematolog...
