Tuberculosis (TB) is a treatable disease and one of the leading causes death worldwide, notably affecting people living with human immunodeficiency virus. The COVID-2019 pandemic worsened TB outcomes, particularly in high-burden countries such as Brazil. Accurate data on mortality hospitalized patients limited. This study aimed to evaluate clinical epidemiological characteristics identify risk factors among all at tertiary hospital Midwest Brazil from 2017 2019. median age 154 included was...
<title>Abstract</title> Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America, with the acute/subacute form predominantly affecting children and young adults. Cases of cecal appendicitis caused by <italic>Paracoccidioides</italic> spp. have rarely been reported. This study aimed describe clinical manifestations evolution case due PCM conduct systematic literature review. A report review were conducted using Embase, Web Science, LILACS, MEDLINE, LIEPCS, PubMed, SciELO,...
The emergence of β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in the last few decades has become major challenge faced by hospitals. In this study, isolates Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2 (KPC-2)-producing K. from a tertiary hospital Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, were characterized. Bacterial identification was performed matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF; Bruker Daltonics, Germany) mass spectrometry. minimum inhibitory concentrations carbapenems...
Data on the prevalence of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) in patients with active or cured tuberculosis (TB) are scarce, mainly due to diagnostic difficulties. The diagnosis CPA is based symptoms and chest computed tomography (CT) scans considered confirmed when there microbiological serological evidence Aspergillus spp.To estimate treated undergoing treatment for PTB, seen two referral hospitals Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.A total 193 consecutive who were previously underwent...
Purpose: To study the factors associated with risk of discontinuing active tuberculosis treatment among patients in an outpatient referral unit and to analyze association between patients' abandonment score their odds treatment. Patients Methods: In this cohort study, were prospectively followed up from June 2012 through July 2019 at a secondary Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. At initial consultation, interviewed using standardized questionnaire assigned for by nurse. Univariate multivariate...
Abstract The Curtobacterium genus is a member of the family Microbacteriaceae, and species are recognized as plant pathogens. aim this study was to investigate dubious result identification for an infection located on catheter tip patient with Covid-19. A strain isolated from sample, identified by VITEK® 2 Cronobacter spp., submitted polyphasic analysis: Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) using MS, real-time polymerase chain reaction...
Nosocomial bacterial infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is associated with high mortality in neurosurgical patients. There are few reports the literature on meningitis CRKP. We report two cases of CRKP after neurosurgery. The K. identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed using Vitek Compact System. Minimum inhibitory concentrations polymyxin B determined broth microdilution method. Molecular typing isolates was investigated...
Abstract Introduction: Paradoxical reaction in tuberculosis (TB) is defined as the reappearance of general symptoms, aggravation pre-existing diseases, or appearance new lesions despite adequate anti-TB therapy. It may result from hyperactivity immune response, resulting an intense inflammation. There are few cases vertebral TB reported paradoxical reaction, mainly among immunocompetents patients. Patient concerns: We describe a male immunocompetent patient with confirmed pulmonary and...
Infections caused by multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae are difficult to treat and pose a serious threat public health worldwide. Here, we describe the presence of carbapenemase-producing K. in intensive care units (ICU) three major Mato Grosso do Sul hospitals located Midwest region Brazil.A total 165 isolates with reduced susceptibility carbapenems as identified VITEK-2 compact system were studied. Antimicrobial testing was performed using disk diffusion method, recommended Clinical...
Abstract Rationale: Melioidosis is an emerging infectious disease in Brazil and caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, with high morbidity mortality rates. A total of 28 melioidosis cases were reported until 2015. The majority the Northwest region such not previously detected Midwest Brazil. Patient concerns: 42-year-old man was admitted a non-productive cough, dyspnea, myalgia, diffuse abdominal pain. Pulmonary auscultation revealed vesicular murmur, snoring sounds, presence basal crackling...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health concern and leading cause of death. Its persistence occurs mainly because barriers in the care cascade are not being fully addressed. Healthcare professionals scientists have been addressing treatment challenges such as abandonment irregular drug intake via strategies directly observing singular therapeutic projects to improve adherence. However, while protocols guidelines advocate these strategies, their implementation requires broader approach...
Currently, COVID-19 and tuberculosis (TB) are the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Their synergy, form of presentation, morbidity, mortality data that have been scarcely explored. Thus, this study aimed to characterize clinical, epidemiological, laboratory factors co-infection analyze associated with active TB among cases. A case-control was conducted a retrospective survey 21 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19/TB co-infected patients (case group) (control group). The included...
Introduction: Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) often develops in residual lesions of tuberculosis (PTB). Every year, 112,000 to 160,000 people worldwide will develop post-PTB CPA. The simultaneous occurrence CPA with the first episode PTB is rare. During COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19- associated invasive (CAPA) occurred patients receiving high doses corticosteroids and mechanical ventilation. However, are rarely reported simultaneously. This case study presents a patient during...
RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever os indicadores de resultado da implementação uma cascata cuidados infecção latente por Mycobacterium tuberculosis em pessoas vivendo com o vírus imunodeficiência humana. Método: Estudo transversal realizado HIV no período 2022 a 2024 serviço referência Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. Foi feito após seguinte processo trabalho: Identificação risco para investigação Infecção Latente Tuberculose (ILTB); Teste ILTB; Exclusão casos TB ativa; Tratamento Adesão ao...
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the outcome indicators of implementing a cascade care for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in people living with human immunodeficiency virus. Method: Cross-sectional study, carried out HIV, from 2022 to 2024, reference service Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. It occurred after implementation following work process: Identification at risk investigation Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI); Test LTBI; Exclusion active TB cases; Treatment Adherence...
Introdução: A aspergilose pulmonar crônica (APC) é uma doença lenta e progressiva causada por Aspergillus spp., que se desenvolve em cavidade preexistente de pacientes com respiratória crônica, sendo a tuberculose (TBP) seu principal fator predisponente. APC pode evoluir graves complicações óbito são poucos os estudos sobre evolução clínica da APC, tanto no Brasil como mundo. Objetivo: Avaliar laboratorial tratamento. Pacientes métodos: Estudo epidemiológico, observacional, longitudinal,...
A Paracoccidiomicose (PCM) é uma micose sistêmica endêmica do Brasil. Na Forma Aguda/subaguda (FA) os órgãos sistema fagocítico-monocitário são afetados, principalmente linfonodos, medula óssea, fígado e baço. O acometimento apêndice cecal, que um órgão linfoide, tem sido pouco descrito na literatura o seu diagnóstico representa desafio. Relatar caso de FA da PCM em paciente jovem apresentou cecal por Paracoccidioides. Homem, 20 anos, natural procedente Campo Grande/MS. Apresentava à...
