PCR-RFLP as a useful tool for diagnosis of invasivemycoses in a healthcare faci...
Sousa, Diego Rayan Teixeira de; Silva Santos, Carla Silvana da; Wanke, Bodo; Silva, Roberto Moreira da; dos Santos, Marcelo CordeiroBackground: The incidence of invasive mycoses is increasing worldwide. PCR-RFLP was applied to the identification of 10 reference strains and 90 cultures of agents of invasive mycoses. In addition, the new approach was applied to detect fungal agents in 120 biological samples (blood, cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow). PCR-RFLP results were compared with the ones obtained with conventional methods (culture, m...
Preheating of urine improves the specificity of urinary cryptococcal antigen te...
Brito-Santos, Fábio; Ferreira, Marcela de Faria; Trilles, Luciana; Muniz, Mauro de Medeiros; Santos, Valdiléa Gonçalves Veloso dosA delay in laboratory diagnosis is related to sequelae and death. Thus, early diagnosis is the key to decrease the high lethality rate due to cryptococcosis. The cryptococcal antigen lateral flow assay (CrAg LFA) Immy test is standardized for a fast screening point-of-care test for cryptococcosis, detecting cryptococcal antigen in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Urine screening would be ideal as a noninvas...
Histoplasmin survey in HIV-positive patients : results from an endemic area in ...
Bezerra, Fabrícia Salvador; Zancopé-Oliveira, Rosely Maria; Brilhante, Raimunda Sâmia Nogueira; Wanke, Bodo; Mota, Rosa Maria SalaniBackground. Disseminated histoplasmosis is common in AIDS patients with advanced immunosuppression in Ceará, Northeastern Brazil. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of Histoplasma infection in patients with HIV/AIDS living in Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará. Methods. Intradermal tests with histoplasmin (mycelial phase) were performed in 161 HIV patients with CD4 ≥ 350 cells/mm3. Evidence of ...

FIRST REPORT ON Cryptococcus neoformans IN PIGEON EXCRETA FROM PUBLIC AND RESID...
Takahara, Doracilde Terumi; Lazera, Marcia dos Santos; Wanke, Bodo; Trilles, Luciana; Dutra, Valeria; Paula, Daphine Ariadne Jesus de; Nakazato, LucianoRESUMO A criptococose é micose sistêmica potencialmente grave causada por duas espécies do gênero Cryptococcus que acometem tanto homens como animais: Cryptococcus neoformans e C. gattii. São infecções cosmopolitas e emergentes, resultantes da interação do hospedeiro - humano e animal versus meio ambiente. A proposta deste trabalho foi avaliar a ocorrência de C. neoformans em 122 amostras de excretas secas de p...

Lindenberg, Andrea De Siqueira Campos; Chang, Marilene Rodrigues; Paniago, Anamaria Melo Miranda; Lazéra, Márcia Dos Santos; Moncada, Paula Maria FrankO perfil clínico-epidemiológico de 123 casos de criptococose diagnosticados no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, no período de janeiro de 1995 até dezembro de 2005, foi estudado retrospectivamente. Cento e quatro (84,9%) casos tinham associação com HIV, seis (4,9%) tinham outra condição predisponente e 13 (10,6%) eram imunocompetentes. Houve predomínio do sexo masculino (68,3...

Filiú, Wander Fernando de Oliveira; Wanke, Bodo; Agüena, Sandra Maura; Vilela, Valter Oshiro; Macedo, Regina Célia Lima; Lazéra, MárciaCryptococcus neoformans é a levedura capsulada causadora de criptococose em humanos e animais. A variedade neoformans, encontrada em diversas fontes ambientais, inclusive habitats de aves, é importante causa de mortalidade em indivíduos com AIDS em todo o Mundo. Contudo, ainda não há estudos sobre a sua ecologia na região Centro Oeste brasileira, onde há registro da ocorrência de casos humanos da micose. Para e...
