Background Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite which causes Chagas disease. Mother-to-child transmission the main route of in vector-free areas. Congenital disease refers specifically to cases arising from this transmission. This work evaluates clinical sensitivity two qPCR techniques for diagnosis congenital Methods The study was developed National Institute parasitology (NIP), Argentina, and Pan-American Health Organization/ Word Organization Collaborating Center Disease. Between...
ObjectivesTrypanosoma cruzi reactivation in HIV patients is considered an opportunistic infection, usually with a fatal outcome. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical features T. infection compare these findings between without Chagas disease reactivation.MethodsThe medical records cruzi–HIV co-infected treated at Muñiz Infectious Diseases Hospital from January 2005 December 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Epidemiological assessed compared...
Epidemiological and clinical aspects of Brucella suis infection in 17 workers from a pork processing plant Argentina occurring between January 2014 July 2015 are presented. All patients reported working 9 h daily without adequate personal protection garment. Blood cultures were positive for spp. 14 the (82.3%). isolates identified as B. biovar 1. Although fever, sweats, asthenia, myalgia hepatic involvement most frequent manifestations, an unusually high incidence respiratory was found. From...
Paracoccidioidomycosis (Pm) is a systemic disease, endemic in the American continent. There are two different clinical forms, infant-juvenile or subacute form (PmS) and chronic adult (PmC). The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated paracoccidioidomycosis (PmHIV) shares characteristics with both of previously mentioned forms. objective this work was to describe epidemiological, laboratory features PmHIV compare them ones PmS PmC. A retrospective analysis 119 patients performed. Ninety...
The coinfection with Tripanosoma cruzi (T.cruzi) and HIV is a relevant clinical event.The goal of this study was to establish the frequency in at-risk populations for infection from Argentina.A total 280 positive serum samples seroprevalence studies groups were tested T.cruzi infection.Of those samples, 8 T. (coinfection rate: 2.9%); 6 them came intravenous drug users (IDUs)( 7.8%).In view these results, all infected patients Argentina should undergo diagnosis, especially IDUs.
Fungal infections in patients with COVID-19 was one of the most debated topics during pandemic.To analyze clinical characteristics and evolution people living HIV/AIDS coinfection cryptococcus (group A) or without it B).This is an analytical retrospective study. We reviewed medical records meningeal cryptococcosis between April 2020 May 2021.We studied 65 infection diagnosed from to 2021. Fifteen suffered COVID-19, out these, 14 presented meningitis A), while 28 cryptococcosis, but did not...
En diciembre de 2019 se identificó en Wuhan, China, un nuevo coronavirus denominado SARS-CoV-2, agente causal la epidemia neumonía atípica COVID-2019, que el 11 marzo 2020 fue declarada pandemia por OMS.
 Hasta 30 septiembre 2020, Argentina fueron confirmados 751.001 casos y más 16.937 muertes.La frecuencia impacto las coinfecciones afectan a los pacientes infectados SARS-Cov-2 ha estudiado junto con avance pandemia. Entre debidas hongos encuentran fungemias Candida sp, aspergilosis...
Relapsing Plasmodium vivax malaria is due to activation of dormant intrahepatic parasitic forms known as hypnozoits. Primaquine the only available drug effective against hypnozoits and, alongside a schizonticidal drug, constitutes radical treatment malaria. Failure frequently attributed inadequate dosing, poor adherence, or reinfection. However, several cases failure without these factors have been reported, inferring that metabolic properties host tolerance mechanisms parasite may be...
Pseudomycetomas are rare fungal subcutaneous infections caused by dermatophytes, which mainly observed in immunocompromised patients. Mycobacterium genavense is considered an opportunistic pathogen people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), clinically resembling the presentation of avium complex (MAC). Here, we describe case a 26-year-old PLWHA 3-month history 4 cm tumoral, duroelastic and painful lesion located on back. Histopathology tumoral revealed chronic granulomatous inflammation grains...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. COVID-19 leads, in most patients, to mild-to-moderate symptoms, but some develop and succumbed death. People with medical conditions have a higher risk of death than those without them. Chagas (CD) can cause cardiac diseases approximately one-third affected people. The aim this study find out if there any clinical association between severity. This cohort 29 patients who were hospitalized had...

 El virus de la viruela símica es un orthopoxvirus características zoonóticas endémico en las regiones África Central y Occidental, donde causa brotes desde 1970. En últimas décadas se registró aumento exponencial casos, probablemente asociado a disminución inmunidad conferida por vacuna antivariólica, discontinuada luego erradicación viruela. los últimos años registraron casos esporádicos fuera del continente africano, siempre relacionados epidemiológicamente...
Background: Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) reactivation in HIV patients is considered an opportunistic infection, usually with fatal outcome. The aim of this study was to describe epidemiological and clinical features T. infection patients, compare these findings between without Chagas' disease reactivation. Methods & Materials: Medical records cruzi-HIV co-infected assisted at the Muñiz Infectious Diseases Hospital from January 2005 December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Epidemiological...
Dimethylpolysiloxane (silicone) has been widely used in the last decades soft tissue augmentation procedures. In Argentina, approximately 54% of transgender people had liquid silicone or industrial oil injection and 91% them where applied outside health system. Silicone particles may migrate into lung vessels generating a syndrome similar to fat embolism, usually starting within 72 hours following injection, although it described months years after. We hereby present two cases pneumonitis...
Si bien la forma de presentación más habitual enfermedad por SARS-CoV-2 es el compromiso pulmonar, se han descripto manifestaciones extra pulmonares reflejando naturaleza sistémica enfermedad. Se describe un caso pancreatitis aguda relacionado al en paciente con leve y sino otros factores riesgo asociados a pancreatitis. Los casos publicados esta fueron revisados fin resumir conocimiento actual misma. La asociada una complicación posible que implica diagnóstico exclusión, aunque necesario...
Reemergencia de enfermedades prevenibles por vacunas: el caso del sarampión en las AméricasEn año 2016, se declaró la eliminación trasmisión endémica continente americano.De igual modo que con viruela, polio, rubeola y síndrome congénito rubeola, región Américas fue primera conseguir esta meta.Si bien este no un logro sencillo, compromiso los gobiernos para proveer recursos necesarios, esfuerzo trabajadores salud, colaboración múltiples entidades gubernamentales población, fueron esenciales...
