Serologic tests have been widely used for the diagnosis of asymptomatic visceral leishmaniasis. This study evaluated five serologic infection: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using promastigote antigen (ELISAp), ELISA recombinant K39 (ELISA rK39), and K26 rK26) antigens, an indirect immunofluorescence test Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis (IIFT), immunochromatographic rK39 (TRALd). As a reference regarding performance tests, patients with classic leishmaniasis originating from...
Dengue is an arboviral infection clinically recognized as acute and self-limited disease. Persistence of dengue symptoms known, but it has been little studied. The aim this study was to characterize persistent in 113 patients with followed up by laboratory testing at a tertiary hospital. Symptoms that persisted for more than 14 days were observed 61 (54.0%) patients, six (6.2%) them had 6 months or more. identified myalgia, weakness, hair loss, memory reduced resistance physical effort,...
The results of five serologic tests (ELISA using promastigote antigen [ELISAp] and recombinant K39 [ELISArK39] K26 [ELISArK26] antigens, indirect immunofluorescence test [IIFT], immunochromatographic the rK39 [TRALd]) Montenegro skin (MST) were analyzed in 41 individuals treated for kala-azar living Porteirinha, Minas Gerais, Brazil. carried out 1 week to 12 years after specific treatment. All MSTs during 8 months treatment negative, whereas year, 28 (84.8%) positive. Negativity all was...
Neuroanatomy is often considered a difficult subject to teach, due its broad scope, multitude of terms, and high degree complexity. Thus, newer educational strategies that facilitate learning while also stimulating students by allowing increased student autonomy group discussions should be carefully considered. This study aimed evaluate the impact introducing team‐based (TBL) in traditional discipline neuroanatomy measure knowledge acquisition perception relative lectures (TL). A...
Background. During dengue virus (DV) infection, monocytes produce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) which might be critical to immunopathogenesis. Since intensity of DV replication may determine clinical outcomes, it is important know the effects viral nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) on innate immune parameters infected patients. The present study investigates relationships between serum levels response (TLR4 expression TNF-α/NO production) patients presenting different...
This report describes three elderly patients with mucosal form of American tegumentary leishmaniasis associated chronic cardiopathy. Due to the known toxicity classical drugs activity against Leishmania sp., received oral courses azithromycin therapy in single 500 mg daily dose during ten days, every other month. All lesions healed after third series. One relapsed and a new series was prescribed. Azithromycin may be an alternative drug for treatment special situations due its optimal...
This study assessed the prevalence of visceral leishmaniasis in blood donors from three endemic regions Brazil and evaluated risk transmission by transfusion.Despite strong evidence through transfusion, real risk, an essential condition for taking effective measures to control this serious disease, has not been determined.A multicentre was performed highly areas. Candidates eligible their first donation underwent a socio-epidemiological interview, samples were collected enzyme-linked...
A pedagogia hospitalar, a ser desenvolvida através de intervenções pedagógicas voltadas para alunos em situação internação, é essencial que estudantes vulnerabilidade, temporariamente impossibilitados frequentar o ambiente escolar, possam receber um acompanhamento individualizado. No trabalho questão objetivamos analisar produções científicas, representadas por artigos periódicos nacionais classificados como A1 no quadriênio 2017-2020 do Qualis da CAPES na área educação, relativas à...
Background: The intensity of dengue virus (DV) replication and circulating non-structural protein 1 (NS1) levels may promote changes in the human immune response favor severe forms infection. We investigated correlations between NS1 with CXCL-8, CXCL-10, IFN-γ, IL-12p40 serum levels, IFN-γ receptor α chain (CD119) expression, CXCL10 production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated recombinant DV-infected patients different clinical forms. Methods: Dengue NS1, were measured...
RESUMO O componente teórico-prático do internato curso de Medicina pode ser abordado por meio estratégias ensino em ambiente virtual. Neste aspecto, a flexibilidade tempo e espaço para o estabelecimento processo ensino-aprendizagem apresenta-se vantajosa no período que há predomínio absoluto atividades práticas. virtual pode-se firmar como convergência experiências discussões com estudantes diferentes cenários prática. objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar percepção aprendizagem internos sobre...
The diagnosis of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum infection in children from birth may serve as a reference for the early identification cases that would progress to classical visceral leishmaniasis (VL) endemic areas. This study prospectively evaluated newborns mothers living municipality Paracatu, Minas Gerais, Brazil. infants were followed up at 6-month intervals by clinical examination, serological tests (immunofluorescence [IIF] and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with rK39...
ABSTRACT IgG avidity tests are used to discriminate acute from chronic infections. There few reports on the profile of patients with visceral leishmaniasis (VL). This study investigated anti- Leishmania in classic VL ( n = 10), showing clinical cure after treatment 18), and asymptomatic subjects at least one positive test 20). All were areas Brazil where is endemic. Serum samples collected each subject two different occasions. was evaluated by Western blotting. The proportion high-avidity...
A formação do aluno no curso de Medicina precisa se aproximar dos campos prática vivenciados pelo médico atualmente. Este estudo objetivou caracterizar as experiências educacionais internos dentro atividades em Atenção Primária, Secundária e Terciária à saúde, com vistas a otimizá-las. Inicialmente, foi descrita criação um estágio atendimento secundário, antes inexistente na instituição, avaliada percepção alunos envolvidos. Posteriormente, foram caracterizados os atendimentos prestados...
Para avaliar a resposta sucessivas aplicações da intradermorreação de Montenegro (IDRM), repetimos quatro vezes o teste em moradores uma área endêmica calazar que tiveram exame negativo há 3-4 anos. Inicialmente, três IDRM nos permaneceram negativos, com intervalo 60 dias entre elas. Na segunda etapa, realizamos última reação todos participantes do estudo. Do total 49 indivíduos prévia negativa, 19 (38,8%) positivaram alguma das vezes, 17 (34,7%) abandonaram estudo e 13 (26,5%) resultado...
Clinical similarities among viral diseases become even more relevant considering the current scenario, especially in Brazil, where there is a high incidence of these and overlapping seasonality. We report case patient with acute clinical manifestations composed predominant respiratory symptoms alveolar hemorrhage which three etiologies (dengue, influenza COVID-19) were investigated concomitantly. Only diagnosis dengue was confirmed. Then, patient's immunological profile response to...

Snakebite is a neglected global health problem with high morbidity. We describe compartment syndrome (CS) cases related to snakebites by Bothrops spp.The medical records of patients admitted envenomation were reviewed.Of 47 spp. (4 male; mean age: 42 years), 7 (15%) developed CS. The time antivenom administration was 9.5 hours. fasciotomy variable. Seven infection and four had acute kidney injury.The incidence CS higher than that reported previously. This may be due the clinical severity...
