Abstract Immunoenzymatic assays were developed for the measurement of antibodies against mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM), a cell-free proteic extract (CFX) Mycobacterium leprae, and 38-kD protein antigen M. tuberculosis. Sera from 108 leprosy patients, belonging to all clinical–immunological forms spectrum, 81 patients with localized or disseminated tuberculosis (TB) tested four IgG subclasses. Standard calibration curves used allow comparisons between results different isotypes...
Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) threatens the global control of TB worldwide. Lisbon has a high XDR-TB rate [50% multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB)], which is mainly associated with Lisboa family strains. Few studies have addressed identification mutations resistance to second-line injectable drugs, and relative frequency such varies geographically. The aim this study was characterize genetic changes number cases in Lisbon. In present we analysed 26 clinical isolates. gyrA, tlyA...
SUMMARY Neisseria meningitidis capsular switching has been reported in several countries. In order to establish the genetic relationship within group B and C strains expressing subtypes 2a or 2b, evaluate whether occurred Portugal, 64 meningococci (56 serogroup 8 B) isolated from invasive meningococcal disease were typed using molecular methods. The studied phenotypes, 2b:P1.5,2 2a:P1.5-1,10-8, most frequent among C, but uncommon strains. multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) allelic profile...

Two temporally and geographically clustered cases of meningitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae expressing the infrequent Ib serotype are reported. Characterization pulsed-field gel electrophoresis multilocus sequence typing revealed that isolates were identical represented widely distributed ST10/ST8 lineage associated with Ib.
A síndrome pós-poliomielite é uma patologia que ocorre em 20 a 80% dos pacientes com história prévia de poliomielite, acometendo-os após 15 ou mais anos estabilidade funcional. No Brasil, cerca 19.000 pessoas possuem síndrome, compondo 70% tiveram poliomielite paralítica prévia. O seu diagnóstico exclusão e os principais sintomas da doença são fadiga, fraqueza muscular mialgia, além intolerância ao frio, musculatura bulbar, dificuldades respiratórias, disfagia, deformidades...
Intro: It is hypothesized that metagenomics could contribute to the effective sentinel surveillance of emerging infections identify plausible cause respiratory symptoms in population.Methods: This study forms part a longitudinal household cohort involving collection and vaccination history Hong Kong.As pilot, selected households were provided with swab kit for collecting nasopharyngeal throat samples when there was an influenza-like illness (ILI) during 4-month presumptive period year's...
O ressurgimento da tuberculose, a sua associação à infecção VIH, emergência de micobactérias não tuberculosas e formas multiresistentes, representam actualmente uma grave ameaça Saúde Pública. Apesar tuberculose VIH ser bem conhecida resposta clinica terapêutica específica se encontra bern descrita. A manutenção febre após o início antibacilares pode levantar suspeita micobacterio multiresistente condicionar alteraçãoes terapêuticas. objectivo deste estudo fol avaliar evolução clínica, com...
