Selective digestive decontamination is a prophylactic strategy to reduce the incidence of infection in intensive care unit (ICU) patients by prevention or eradication oropharyngeal and gastrointestinal carrier state potentially pathogenic microorganisms gut flora that precedes development most ICU-acquired infections. It one studied interventions critically ill patients. A lot research have shown selective prevents severe infections, reduces mortality, has no adverse effects, cost-effective...
SARS-CoV-2 variant detection relies on resource-intensive whole-genome sequencing methods. We sought to develop a scalable protocol for and surveillance in Paraguay, pairing rRT-PCR spike mutations with Nanopore sequencing. A total of 201 acute-phase nasopharyngeal samples were included. Samples positive the N2 target tested Spike SNP assay detect associated following variants: alpha (501Y), beta/gamma (417variant/484K/501Y), delta (452R/478K), lambda (452Q/490S). calls confirmed using...
New diagnostic tools are needed to rapidly assess the efficacy of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) treatment. The aim this study was evaluate several immune biomarkers in an observational and cross-sectional cohort conducted Paraguay.
ABSTRACT For the diagnosis of Chagas' disease, trans -sialidase inhibition assay was able to resolve results for samples with borderline results, detect as positive 60% that were negative by conventional serology, and discriminate idiopathic from chagasic megaviscera or cardiopathy. No cross-reaction sera patients other diseases observed.
Since the early 1990s, programs to control Chagas disease in South America have focused on eradicating domiciliary Triatoma infestans, main vector. Seroprevalence studies of chagasic infection are included as part vector programs; they essential assess impact measures and monitor prevention transmission.To interruption transmission by T. infestans Paraguay evaluating current state rural areas.A survey seroprevalence was carried out a representative sample group Paraguayans aged one five...
Se presenta un caso clÃnico de queratitis por Mycobacterium abscessus en una mujer 76 años, residente la ciudad Asunción, sin traumatismo ni cirugÃa ocular previa y con antecedente queratouveitis herpética. Por tratarse causada agente etiológico poco frecuente importancia diagnóstico correcto oportuno para instauración del tratamiento adecuado, se comunica el primer micobacterias Paraguay.
La Lepra es una enfermedad crónica discapacitante causada por Mycobacterium leprae que presenta un largo periodo de incubación. El diagnóstico está basado en las manifestaciones clÃnicas lo la detección estadÃo avanzado muy frecuente. principal grupo riesgo son los contactos sanos personas infectadas sin tratamiento, cual importante el seguimiento mismos, para temprana enfermedad. Existe terapia múltiples fármacos efectiva tratar enfermedad, pero lesiones nerviosas irreversibles. En...
Abstract Objectives The objective of the current study was to develop a lower-cost and scalable protocol identify monitor SARS-CoV-2 variants in Paraguay by pairing real-time RT-PCR detection spike mutations with amplicon Sanger sequencing whole-genome Nanopore sequencing. Methods 201 acute-phase nasopharyngeal samples from SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were tested two rRT-PCRs: 1) N2RP assay confirm RNA (CDC N2 target), 2) Spike SNP detect receptor binding domain. performed probes...
Las betalactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE), son enzimas responsables la hidrólisis del anillo betalactámico penicilinas y cefalosporinas, excepto carbapemenes, inhibiendo así su actividad terapéutica.Si bien es posible detección fenotípica este mecanismo resistencia por métodos convencionales, sólo los moleculares permiten identificación gen responsable dicha resistencia.El objetivo estudio descriptivo retrospectivo fue identificar genes bla CTX-M2 , PER-2 SHV TEM en aislamientos...
Soon after the declaration of COVID-19 pandemic, Institute for Health Sciences Research (IICS) National University Asunción, Paraguay became a testing laboratory (COVID-Lab) SARS-CoV-2. The COVID-Lab performance was assessed from 1 April 2020 to 12 May 2021. effect pandemic on IICS and how contributed academic research activities institute were also assessed. researchers staff adjusted their work schedules support COVID-Lab. Of 13,082 nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs processed, 2704...
Las precipitaciones extremas representan uno de los eventos naturales climáticos más importantes y pueden originar inundaciones devastadoras. De junio a agosto del 2014 se registró una las graves en la historia ciudad Asunción. Ocasionó un incremento considerable nivel río Paraguay el desplazamiento 300.000 personas campamentos provisionales. Debido que contacto directo con agua inundación, consumo contaminada congregación afectados refugios provisorios son factores riesgo para enfermedades...
