Yellow fever outbreak in Brazil : the puzzle of rapid viral spread and challeng...
Possas, Cristina; Oliveira, Ricardo Lourenço de; Tauil, Pedro Luiz; Pinheiro, Francisco de Paula; Pissinatti, Alcides; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio daWe discuss the complex eco-social factors involved in the puzzle of the unexpected rapid viral spread in the ongoing Brazilian yellow fever (YF) outbreak, which has increased the reurbanisation risk of a disease without urban cases in Brazil since 1942. Indeed, this rapid spatial viral dissemination to the Southeast and South regions, now circulating in the Atlantic Forest fragments close to peri-urban areas of...
Perceptions on dengue among residents of a brazilian border municipality
Costa, Elisangela Martins da Silva; Costa, Edgar Aparecido da; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio daBackground and Objectives: Approaches based on knowledge of the population constitute an important tool for guiding the development of appropriate and effective strategies to control and prevent outbreaks of dengue. The objective of this study was to identify the perceptions about knowledge, occurrence and control activities of dengue fever of residents of the municipality of Ponta Porã, Mato Grosso do Sul stat...
Dengue: teorias e práticas
Valle, Denise; Pimenta, Denise Nacif; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio daSe, por um lado, as epidemias de dengue causam forte impacto na rede de atenção à saúde no Brasil, por outro, o país tem, de fato, uma enorme competência estabelecida na pesquisa e na prestação de serviços em dengue – considerada atualmente a mais importante arbovirose no mundo. Este livro analisa a dengue sob a ótica dos desafios impostos ao Brasil, que ultrapassam os limites do setor saúde, abrangendo as área...
Vulnerability to AIDS among the elderly in an urban center in central Brazil
Driemeier, Marta; Andrade, Sônia Maria Oliveira de; Pontes, Elenir Rose Jardim Cury; Paniago, Anamaria Mello Miranda; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio daOBJECTIVE: As the world population ages with an improved quality of life and sexual longevity, the prevalence of AIDS is rising among the elderly. The purpose of this study was to estimate the vulnerability to AIDS among individuals attending senior community centers in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. METHOD: This descriptive, exploratory investigation included 329 subjects selected in a probabilistic...
Dyslipidaemia associated with the highly active antiretroviral therapy in aids ...
Domingos, Hamilton; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio da; Paniago, Anamaria Mello MirandaAntiretroviral therapy has been associated with hyperlipidemia in AIDS patients. This case illustrates the classic metabolic effects associated to the HAART including protease inhibitors and/or stavudine. It was showed that the management of the HAART-associated dyslipidaemia with conventional antihyperlipidemic therapy may fail, being the switching strategy the best option.

Sensitivity and specificity of polymerase chain reaction in Giemsa-stained slid...
Brustoloni, Yvone Maia; Lima, Rosimar Batista; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio da; Dorval, Maria Elizabeth; Oshiro, Elisa Teruya; Oliveira, Ana Lúcia Lyrio deThe aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the detection of Leishmania DNA in archived Giemsa-stained bone marrow slides for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), and to compare PCR with conventional diagnostic techniques, like direct microscopy and parasite culture. Specimens of archived Giemsa-stained bone marrow slides from 91 patients with...
Clinical and laboratory findings in patients with dengue associated with hepato...
Nascimento, Delso do; Castro, Ana Rita Coimbra Motta de; Fróes, Íris Bucker; Bigaton, Gláucia; Oliveira, Éveny Cristine Luna deINTRODUÇÃO: Afecções hepáticas causadas pela infecção da dengue podem evoluir para quadro grave, incluindo mortalidade e morbidade. O mecanismo de lesão do fígado está relacionado com a exacerbação da resposta imune. As citocinas estão envolvidas nele como fator inibidor da migração de macrófagos (MIF), fator de necrose tumoral (TNF), células natural killer (NK), B linfócitos e macrófagos. MÉTODOS: Este estudo ...
Metabolic effects associated to the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART...
Domingos, Hamilton; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio da; Paniago, Anamaria Mello Miranda; Martins, Diego Mira; Elkhoury, Eduardo BrandãoThe aim of this study was to evaluate the metabolic abnormalities (dyslipidaemia and insulin resistance) associated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in AIDS patients, treated in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The patients were distributed in five different groups: Group 1, HIV-infected without antiretroviral therapy; Group 2, with Zidovudine, Lamivudine and Efavirenz or Nevirapine; G...

Chang, Marilene Rodrigues; Taira, Cleison Ledesma; Paniago, Anamaria Melo Miranda; Taira, Deborah Ledesma; Cunha, Rivaldo Venâncio da; Wanke, BodoForam estudados 30 casos de histoplasmose observados no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul - HU-UFMS, no período de janeiro de 1998 a dezembro de 2005. Os pacientes eram, na maioria, homens (83,3%) jovens (média de 33,4 anos de idade), naturais e procedentes de Mato Grosso do Sul (63,3%) e tinham AIDS como principal doença subjacente (83,3%). Houve predomínio da forma disseminada (96,7%) e as manifestações clínicas m...
