SARS-CoV-2/DENV co-infection : a series of cases from the Federal District, Mid...
Schulte, Heidi Luise; Sousa, José Diego Brito; Lacerda, Marcus Vinícius Guimarães de; Naves, Luciana Ansaneli; Gois, Eliana Teles deBackground: Since the novel coronavirus disease outbreak, over 179.7 million people have been infected by SARS-CoV-2 worldwide, including the population living in dengue-endemic regions, particularly Latin America and Southeast Asia, raising concern about the impact of possible co-infections. Methods: Thirteen SARS-CoV-2/DENV co-infection cases reported in Midwestern Brazil between April and September of 2020 a...
O Coração e a COVID-19: O que o Cardiologista Precisa Saber
Costa, Isabela Bispo Santos da Silva; Bittar, Cristina Salvadori; Rizk, Stephanie Itala; Araújo Filho, Antônio Everaldo deFrente à pandemia da doença causada pelo novo coronavírus (COVID-19), o manejo do paciente com fator de risco e/ou doença cardiovascular é desafiador nos dias de hoje. As complicações cardiovasculares evidenciadas nos pacientes com COVID-19 resultam de vários mecanismos, que vão desde lesão direta pelo vírus até complicações secundárias à resposta inflamatória e trombótica desencadeada pela infecção. O cuidado ...
The Heart and COVID-19: What Cardiologists Need to Know
Costa, Isabela Bispo Santos da Silva; Bittar, Cristina Salvadori; Rizk, Stephanie Itala; Araújo Filho, Antônio Everaldo deIn face of the pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the management of patients with cardiovascular risk factors and/or disease is challenging. The cardiovascular complications evidenced in patients with COVID-19 derive from several mechanisms, ranging from direct viral injury to complications secondary to the inflammatory and thrombotic responses to the infection. The proper care of patien...
Overview of artemisinin effectiveness during outset years of its implementation...
Pinto, Raquel de Medeiros; Sampaio, Vanderson de Souza; Melo, Gisely Cardoso de; Alecrim, Maria das Graças Costa; Mattos, KarineBACKGROUND The elimination of malaria depends on the blocking of transmission and of an effective treatment. In Brazil, artemisinin therapy was introduced in 1991, and here we present a performance overview during implementation outset years. METHODS It is a retrospective cohort (1991 to 2002) of patients treated in a tertiary centre of Manaus, with positive microscopic diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum malari...
Vertical Transmission of Zika Virus (Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) in Amazonian Aed...
Chaves, Bárbara Aparecida; Vieira Junior, Ademir Bentes; Silveira, Karine Renata Dias; Paz, Andréia da Costa; Vaz, Evelyn Beatriz da CostaZika virus (ZIKV) has emerged as a globally important arbovirus and has been reported from all states of Brazil. The virus is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of an infective Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) or Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1895). However, it is important to know if ZIKV transmission also occurs from Ae. aegypti through infected eggs to her offspring. Therefore, a ZIKV and dengue virus...
Zika virus transmission to mouse ear by mosquito bite : a laboratory model that...
Secundino, Nagila Francinete Costa; Chaves, Bárbara Aparecida; Orfanó, Alessandra da Silva; Silveira, Karine Renata Dias; Rodrigues, Nilton BarnabéBackground: Zika disease has transformed into a serious global health problem due to the rapid spread of the arbovirus and alarming severity including congenital complications, microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Zika virus (ZIKV) is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of an infective mosquito, with Aedes aegypti being the main vector. Methods: We successfully developed a ZIKV experimental tr...
Coinfection with Zika Virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus results in preferential ZIK...
Chaves, Bárbara Aparecida; Orfanó, Alessandra da Silva; Nogueira, Paula Monalisa; Rodrigues, Nilton Barnabé; Campolina, Thaís BonifácioBackground. Several tropical cities are permissive to Aedes aegypti and dengue virus (DENV) endemicity and have allowed for invasion and circulation of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the same areas. People living in arbovirus-endemic regions have been simultaneously infected with ≥2 arboviruses. Methods. A. aegypti mosquitoes from Manaus, the capital city of Amazonas State in Brazil, were coinfected with circulating stra...
G6PD deficiency in Latin America : systematic review on prevalence and variants
Monteiro, Wuelton Marcelo; Val, Fernando Fonseca de Almeida; Siqueira, André Machado; Franca, Gabriel Peixoto; Sampaio, Vanderson de SouzaPlasmodium vivax radical cure requires the use of primaquine (PQ), a drug that induces haemolysis in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient (G6PDd) individuals, which further hampers malaria control efforts. The aim of this work was to study the G6PDd prevalence and variants in Latin America (LA) and the Caribbean region. A systematic search of the published literature was undertaken in August 2013. Biblio...
Clinical complications of G6PD deficiency in Latin American and Caribbean popul...
Monteiro, Wuelton Marcelo; Franca, Gabriel Peixoto; Melo, Gisely Cardoso de; Queiroz, Amanda de Lourdes Maciel; Brito, Marcelo; Peixoto, Henry MaiaBackground: Although G6PDd individuals are generally asymptomatic throughout their life, the clinical burden of this genetic condition includes a range of haematological conditions, including acute haemolytic anaemia (AHA), neonatal jaundice (NNJ) and chronic non-sphaerocytic anaemia (CNSA). In Latin America (LA), the huge knowledge gap regarding G6PDd is related to the scarce understanding of the burden of cli...
