To estimate the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in state Maranhão, Brazil.A population-based household survey was performed, from July 27, 2020 to August 8, 2020. The estimates considered clustering, stratification and non-response. Qualitative detection IgM IgG antibodies performed a fully-automated Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 electrochemiluminescence immunoassay on Cobas® e601 analyzer (Roche Diagnostics).In total, 3,156 individuals were interviewed.

Summary Background Few population-based studies on the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been performed to date, and most them used lateral flow immunoassays with finger-prick, which may yield false-negative results thus underestimate true infection rate. Methods A household survey was in State Maranhão, Brazil, from 27 July 2020 8 August estimate seroprevalence SARS-CoV-2 using a serum testing electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. three-stage...
In Brazil, leprosy is endemic and concentrated in high-risk clusters. Internal migration common the country may influence transmission hamper control efforts. We performed a cross-sectional study with two separate analyses evaluating factors associated Brazil’s Northeast: one among individuals newly diagnosed other clinically unapparent population no symptoms of for comparison. included 394 391 from population.
