Sporothrix spp. EVALUATION IN SOIL OF A HYPERENDENIC AREA FOR SPOROTRICHOSIS IN...
Poester,Vanice Rodrigues; Mendes,Josiara Furtado; Groll,Andrea Von; Klafke,Gabriel Baracy; Brandolt,Tchana Martinez; Xavier,Melissa OrzechowskiAbstract The increase in zoonotic sporotrichosis cases has become a public health problem in hyperendemic areas for the feline disease. Domestic cats involvement in this transmission and the continuous contact of these animals with soil suggest that the environment may be an essential source and/or reservoir of Sporothrix spp. Thus, the current study aimed to evaluate the presence of Sporothrix spp. in the soil...
Prevalence of Candida spp. in cervical-vaginal samples and the in vitro suscept...
Brandolt,Tchana Martinez; Klafke,Gabriel Baracy; Gonçalves,Carla Vitola; Bitencourt,Laura Riffel; Martinez,Ana Maria Barral de; Mendes,Josiara FurtadoAbstract Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an infection of the genital mucosa caused by different species of the genus Candida. Considering the lack of data on this topic in the south of Brazil, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of Candida spp. in the cervical-vaginal mucosa of patients treated at a university hospital in southern Rio Grande do Sul, as well as the etiology and the susceptibility of the ...
Seroepidemiology of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in horses from Rio ...
Albano,Ana Paula Neuschrank; Klafke,Gabriel Baracy; Brandolt,Tchana Martinez; Da Hora,Vanusa Pousada; Nogueira,Carlos Eduardo WayneParacoccidioides brasiliensis is the etiological agent of the major systemic mycosis in Brazil, called paracoccidioidomycosis. Although the Rio Grande do Sul is considered an endemic area of the disease, there are few studies on the ecology of P. brasiliensis in the state. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the infection of P. brasiliensis in horses from the mesoregion of Southwest Riograndense, using thes...
ISOLAMENTO E IDENTIFICAÇÃO DE FUNGOS DO GÊNERO Aspergillus spp. DE ÁGUA UTILIZA...
Poester,Vanice Rodrigues; Klafke,Gabriel Baracy; Cabana,Ângela Leitzke; Adornes,Andréa Corrado; Silva Filho,Rodolfo Pinho da; Xavier,Melissa OrzechowskiResumo A aspergilose caracteriza-se por ser a principal causa de mortalidade de pinguins em cativeiro. A infecção pelo gênero Aspergillus ocorre principalmente por via aérea, porém o fungo pode ter dispersão pela água. Neste sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a água do tanque onde os pinguins-de-Magalhães permanecem para reabilitação no Centro de Recuperação de Animais Marinhos de Rio Grande, RS,...
Onychomycosis: clinical, mycological and in vitro susceptibility testing of iso...
Azambuja,Christiane Venske de Almeida; Pimmel,Luciana Alves; Klafke,Gabriel Baracy; Xavier,Melissa OrzechowskiBACKGROUND: Onychomycosis or nail fungal infection is the most common nail disease. Despite the wide range of studies on this condition, it remains difficult to establish the correct diagnosis and effective treatment. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of classical laboratory methods for the diagnosis of onychomycosis, and the in vitro susceptibility of the its main etiological agent to antifungals used in ro...
Clinical and mycological analysis of dog's oral cavity
Santin,Rosema; Mattei,Antonella Souza; Waller,Stefanie Bressan; Madrid,Isabel Martins; Cleff,Marlete Brum; Xavier,Melissa OrzechowskiThe oral microbiota of humans and animals is made up of a wide variety of yeasts and bacteria, but microbiota of dogs is not totally described. Although such identification is an important step to establish the etiopathogenesis and adequate therapy for the periodontal disease The aim of this study was to evaluate and correlate oral alterations with the presence of yeasts in oral cavity of female dogs. After cli...
Atypical presentation of sporotrichosis: report of three cases
Xavier,Melissa Orzechowski; Bittencourt,Laura Riffel; Silva,Cláudio Moss da; Vieira,Roseli Stone; Pereira,Hugo Cataud PachecoSporotrichosis occurs after fungal implantation of Sporothrix spp. in the skin, and is the main subcutaneous mycosis in Latin America. Here we describe three atypical cases of the disease. The first case report an extra-cutaneous occurrence of the disease with joint infection; the second one describes a patient with bilateral lymphocutaneous form of sporotrichosis; and the third shows a zoonotic cutaneous case ...
Galactomannan detection from piperacillin-tazobactam brands available in the Br...
Xavier,Melissa Orzechowski; Pasqualotto,Alessandro Comarú; Aquino,Valério Rodrigues; Sukiennik,Teresa Cristina Teixeira; Severo,Luiz CarlosPiperacillin-tazobactam is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent that can cause false-positive results in the commercial Platelia Aspergillus EIA test. So far, no study has been performed in Latin America to evaluate the clinical implication of this finding. Here we studied the potential for galactomannan detection in piperacillin-tazobactam batches commercialized in the Brazilian market. Five batches from disti...
Aspergillus niger causing tracheobronchitis and invasive pulmonary aspergillosi...
Xavier,Melissa Orzechowski; Sales,Maria da Penha Uchoa; Camargo,José de Jesus Peixoto; Pasqualotto,Alessandro Comarú; Severo,Luiz CarlosA case of invasive aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus niger in a lung transplant recipient is described. The patient presented hyperglycemia starting postoperatively, with other complications such as cytomegalovirus infection. The associated predisposing factors and other implications are discussed. Aspergillus niger seems to be a fungal species of low virulence that requires the presence of a severely immunos...
