We evaluated in-hospital mortality and outcomes incidence after hospital discharge due to COVID-19 in a Brazilian multicenter cohort.This prospective study (RECOVER-SUS, NCT04807699) included patients hospitalized public tertiary hospitals Brazil from June 2020 March 2021. Clinical assessment blood samples were performed at admission, with post-hospital remote visits. Hospitalized participants followed-up until 31, The of rehospitalization or death discharge. Kaplan-Meier curves Cox...
Objectives: This study aimed to analyze characteristics of mpox hospitalization in a Brazilian cohort, further exploring the impact HIV on mpox-related outcomes and hospitalization. Design: We conducted descriptive analysis, comparing individuals diagnosed with according status, described cases among those living HIV. Methods: was single-center, prospective cohort at major infectious diseases referral center Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that enrolled participants older than 18 years age mpox....
Meningeal sporotrichosis is rare and occurs predominantly in immunosuppressed individuals. This retrospective study explored clinical laboratory characteristics, treatment, prognosis of patients with disseminated who underwent lumbar puncture (LP) at a Brazilian reference center from 1999 to 2020. Kaplan-Meier Cox regression models were used estimate overall survival hazard ratios. Among 57 enrolled patients, 17 had meningitis. Fifteen (88.2%) HIV infection, 6 them, neurological...
Following the 2022 global mpox outbreak, diagnoses decreased worldwide, even in settings with limited vaccine access. In 2023-2024, a new outbreak emerged Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, highlighting importance of continuous surveillance, preventive measures such as vaccination vulnerable populations, and treatment options, emphasizing equitable health technology distribution.
Purpose: In this article, the authors describe multifocal choroiditis related to disseminated sporotrichosis in patients with HIV/AIDS. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of three infected HIV who presented characterized by cutaneous lesions, choroiditis, and other manifestations, including osteomyelitis involvement bone marrow, larynx, pharynx, nasal oral mucosa. Results: Five eyes HIV/AIDS showed sporotrichosis. The CD4 + counts ranged from 25 53 mm −3 . All were...
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is one of the most important systemic mycoses in Latin America and leading fungal cause mortality non-immunosuppressed individuals Brazil. However, HIV/PCM co-infection can increase clinical severity these co-infected patients. This rarely reported literature mainly because different epidemiological profiles infections. Furthermore, PCM a neglected non-notifiable disease, which may underestimate real importance this disease. The advent molecular studies on...
Objectives The characteristics of critically ill HIV‐positive patients and the causes their admission to intensive care units (ICUs) are only known through retrospective unicentric studies. This study aims fill this knowledge gap.

In all, 161 HIV over 18 years old were...
Background Central nervous system infections (CNSI) are diseases with high morbidity and mortality, their diagnosis in the intensive care environment can be challenging. Objective : To develop validate a diagnostic model to quickly screen patients suspected CNSI using readily available clinical data. Methods Derivation cohort 783 admitted an infectious unit (ICU) Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Rio de Janeiro RJ, Brazil, for any reason, between 01/01/2012 06/30/2019, prevalence of 97 (12.4%) cases....
Coil migration poses a significant intraprocedural risk during coil embolization in interventional neuroradiology procedures. In this technical video we describe the technique of removal errand coils using low profile Tigertriever-13 device.1 Traditional methods errant retrieval rely on use stent retrievers;2 however, these devices are usually too large to fit through smaller inner diameter 0.013–0.0165 inch coiling catheters, thus requiring upsizing materials emergency situations.3 We...
Knowing the short-term prognostic factors of critically ill HIV patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in era combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is important for adoption preventive measures and more effective treatment. To identify most significant common that determine mortality, a systematic review relevant literature was carried out. Method: An internet search conducted three databases indexing scientific articles (PubMed, Scopus, Web Science) studies investigating...

There is little information comparing the performance of community acquired central nervous system infections (CNSI) treatment by intensive care units (ICUs) specialized in infectious diseases with at other ICUs. Our objective was to reduce these gaps, creating bases for benchmarking and future case-mix classification.This a retrospective observational cohort 785 admissions 82 cases CNSI admitted ICU an important Brazilian referral center (INI) between January 2012 2019.
