Sexually transmitted infections among women living with HIV in a Brazilian city
Tosato Boldrini,Neide Aparecida; Bondi Volpini,Lays Paula; Freitas,Luciana Bueno; Spano,Liliana Cruz; Musso,CarlosABSTRACT Background: Clinical improvements following highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may increase high-risk behaviors resulting in sexually transmitted infections (STI). Optimism related to the success of HAART in slowing disease progression, reducing viral load, and improving health status might be important factors for increasing sexual risk behaviors such as less use of condoms. Objective: To de...

Diversity and uncommon HPV types in HIV seropositive and seronegative women att...
Mattos,Adriana Tonani de; Freitas,Luciana Bueno de; Lima,Bettina Moulin Coelho; Miranda,Angélica Espinosa; Spano,Liliana CruzGiven the causal relationship between specific types of HPV with cervical cancer and precursor lesions, it is important to identify the viral type involved. The aim of this study is to access the prevalence of HPV types in HIV seropositive and seronegative women. Accordingly, 77 HPV positive cervical samples were obtained from 284 women (seropositive (n=112) and seronegative (n=172) for HIV) who attended a Sexu...
HCMV gB genotypes in cervical secretion and placenta tissues in the state of Es...
Spano,Liliana Cruz; Ferreira,Mônica Simões Rocha; Almeida,Marilda Santos; Nascimento,Jussara Pereira do; Leite,José Paulo GagliardiHuman cytomegalovirus (HCMV) displays genetic variability in several regions, supposed to be related with strain-specific tissue tropism and immunopathogenesis. Based on sequence variation in the UL55 gene that encodes gB glycoprotein, HCMV strains can be assigned to one of four genotypes. Previous studies have addressed gB genotyping mostly by investigating strains derived from immunosuppressed patients, somet...
False positive reaction due to endogenous biotin activity in glandular epitheli...
Spano,Liliana Cruz; Vargas,Paulo Roberto Merçon de; Leite,José Paulo Gagliardi; Nascimento,Jussara Pereira doBiotin-labeled probe was used in an in situ hybridisation assay to localize virus infection in formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues taken from eleven abortion cases. Probes for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), human Parvovirus B19 (B19) and human adenovirus type 2 (HAd2), were labeled with biotin-11-dUTP by nick-translation reaction. Streptavidin-alkaline-phosphatase (SAP) was used to detect biotin, followed ...
