Dengue virus among HIV-infected pregnant women attending antenatal care in Luan...
Sebastião, Cruz S.; Neto, Zoraima; Jandondo, Domingos; Mirandela, Marinela; Morais, Joana; Brito, MiguelThe dissemination of the dengue virus (DENV) in endemic regions with HIV is a public health concern with greater importance when there is evidence of vertical transmission of DENV during pregnancy. Herein, we investigated DENV among HIV-infected pregnant women in Luanda, the capital city of Angola. This was part of a cross-sectional study carried out on 42 pregnant women newly diagnosed with HIV. A total of 36 ...

Sebastião, Cruz S.; Neto, Zoraima; Jandondo, Domingos; Mirandela, Marinela; Morais, Joana; Brito, MiguelInfectious diseases during pregnancy remain a public health concern, especially in a resource-limited setting. The study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and determinants of HIV and co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and syphilis among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Luanda, the capital city of Angola. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1612 pregnant wome...

Sebastião, Cruz S.; Neto, Zoraima; Jesus, Carlos S. de; Mirandela, Marinela; Jandondo, Domingos; Couto-Fernandez, José C.; Tanuri, AmilcarMonitoring genetic diversity and drug resistance mutations (DRMs) is critical for understanding HIV epidemiology. Here, we report HIV-1 genetic diversity and DRMs in blood samples from 42 HIV-positive pregnant women naive to antiretroviral therapy (ART), in Luanda. The samples were subjected to nested-PCR, followed by sequencing of the HIV-1 pol gene, targeting the protease and reverse transcriptase fragments. ...
