Justificativa: A Mpox é uma zoonose causada por vírus do gênero Orthopoxvirus, com maior prevalência no continente africano. Nos últimos anos foram observados surtos isolados da doença em vários países mundo. infecção manifestada erupções cutâneas variadas, mais predominantes face, genitálias e regiões palmo-plantares. Objetivos: Descrever as principais manifestações clínicas mpox duas populações distintas (adultos portadores de HIV/Aids), destacando a frequência, gravidade, tipo sequelas....
Justification: Cryptococcal meningitis is the second most common opportunistic infection in AIDS patients and associated with high mortality rates. The antifungal agents proven effective treating cryptococcosis include amphotericin B, fluconazole, flucytosine. prevalence of Cryptococcus spp. resistance to fluconazole varies by region population. Case Report: Here, we report a fatal case fluconazole-resistant cryptococcal an immunosuppressed adult AIDS. Severe liver dysfunction hindered...
Urogenital tuberculosis (UGT) constitutes a significant extrapulmonary form of tuberculosis, often presenting non-specific symptoms and prolonged indolent course that leads to delayed diagnosis treatment, which can result in severe irreversible complications such as urinary strictures, renal failure, infertility. This report describes case 38-year-old man with five-month history low back pain, hematuria, dysuria, altered frequency. Initial treatment for presumed tract infection failed,...
PURPOSE: Aloe vera is a tropical plant popularly known in Brazil as babosa. We have investigated the effect of aqueous extract on biodistribution Na99mTcO4 and laboratorial parameters Wistar rats. METHODS: Twelve animals were divided into treated control groups. In group, was given by gavage (5mg/mL/day) during 10 days. The group received sorbitol same way period. One hour after last dose, we injected 0.1mL orbital plexus. After 60 min, all killed. Samples harvested from brain, liver, heart,...
Klebsiella pneumoniae causes a diversity of infections in both healthcare and community settings. This pathogen is showing an increased ability to accumulate antimicrobial resistance virulence genes, making it public health concern. Here we describe the whole-genome sequence characteristics ST15 colistin-resistant K. isolate obtained from blood culture 79-year-old female patient admitted university hospital Brazil. Kp14U04 was resistant most clinically useful agents, remaining susceptible...
Aspergillosis is an opportunistic mycosis that generally affects the lungs. The fungus was cleared by immune system of a healthy host. Extrapulmonary forms are very rare, and there few reports urinary aspergillosis. In this case report, we describe 62-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complaints fever dysuria. patient had recurrent episodes tract infection several hospitalizations. A computed tomography revealed amorphous mass in left kidney bladder. After partial...
Central-line bloodstream infection (CLABSI) increases hospital mortality. A cohort study was conducted in a Brazilian to estimate the disability-adjusted life year (DALY) of CLABSI using modified World Health Organization (WHO) methodology. DALY 20.44 per 1,000 inpatients, most were result premature death (20.42 inpatients). can be useful guide and measure impact healthcare prevention. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:606–609

Objetivo: Analisar a eficácia de ferramentas triagem para detecção precoce sepse. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo, que abrangeu 443 protocolos sepse um hospital quaternário no Rio Janeiro entre janeiro e agosto 2023. Foram comparadas sensibilidade especificidade três ferramentas: síndrome da resposta inflamatória sistêmica, quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) National Early Warning Score (NEWS). Resultados: Dentre os pacientes com choque séptico, 88% apresentaram NEWS > 4,...
Paracoccidioidomycosis, the most important systemic mycosis in Latin America, is closely linked to rural activities. In Brazil, it an endemic disease, with estimated 4,000 6,000 annual cases, accounting for over 80% of global diagnoses. We present intriguing case this disease intestinal manifestation a 71-year-old woman. The involvement cecal appendix led complication cholangitis that mimicked cholangiocarcinoma.
Non-diphtheriae Corynebacterium species are usually considered as contaminants of clinical specimens due to their widely environmental distribution and colonization the human skin mucous membranes. However, these bacteria have been increasingly recognized agents life-threatening infections mainly in individuals immunosuppressive conditions. These organisms vast variation morphology biochemical reaction, characteristics that make correct identification at level extremely difficult using...
Sporotrichosis is the most frequent subcutaneous mycosis in Latin America. It caused by species of genus Sporothrix. Infection humans occurs through entry fungus into skin. Zoonotic outbreaks involving cats transmission disease have been frequently reported. The lymphocutaneous form commonly observed and upper limbs are affected sites. We report a case 64-year-old healthy female patient with rapid progression lesions, which was refractory to initial treatment itraconazole. Treatment...
Programas de stewardship consistem em estratégias que visam uma gestão cuidadosa e responsável do uso antimicrobianos. Dentre os aspectos mais impactam o programa está a contaminação hemoculturas. Sabe-se antibiótico teicoplanina é frequentemente administrado quando há suspeita gram-positivos resistentes no sangue. Ao obter-se um resultado positivo teste hemocultura devido à não infecção verdadeira interferência na descontinuação da terapia. O objetivo projeto descrever impacto hemoculturas...
A resistência antimicrobiana se impõe como um dos principais problemas de saúde pública no mundo. Patógenos multirresistentes estão relacionados a infecções graves com alta mortalidade. Ceftazidima-avibactam é uma nova droga que demonstrou atividade in vitro contra bactérias Gram-negativas resistentes e está licenciada para o tratamento infecção intra-abdominal, urinária complicada pneumonia associada à assistência em população adulta. O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever as...
