BackgroundThere is a need to identify scalable tuberculosis screening strategies among high burden populations. The WHO has identified non-sputum-based triage test as development priority.MethodsWe performed diagnostic case-control study of point-of-care C-reactive protein (CRP) and Prototype-Xpert-MTB-Host-Response (Xpert-MTB-HR) assays in the context mass program for two prisons Brazil. All incarcerated individuals irrespective symptoms were screened by sputum Xpert MTB/RIF culture. Among...
In Brazil, the reported number of syphilis cases among pregnant women has markedly increased. We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine prevalence Treponema pallidum infection and associated factors in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Participants voluntarily completed risk-factor questionnaire provided blood specimens for unlinked anonymous testing presence antibodies against T. , causative agent syphilis. Data newborns were obtained from medical records. performed univariate...
Multidrug resistance prompts the search for new sources of antibiotics with targets at bacteria cell. To investigate antibacterial activity Cinnamomum cassia L. essential oil (CCeo) alone and in combination against carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Serratia marcescens. The antimicrobial susceptibility strains was determined by Vitek® 2 confirmed MALDI-TOF/TOF. CCeo its synergism using agar disk diffusion, broth microdilution, time-kill, checkboard methods. integrity bacterial...
Objective: To analyze the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of syphilis discuss approaches for optimizing early diagnosis Treponema pallidum infection. Literature review: The incidence syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI), has been increasing worldwide, with an estimated 8.0 million new cases reported in 2022. Currently, is diagnosed using serological tests, which are associated limitations, such as low sensitivity to detect early-stage poor ability distinguish...
The number of new syphilis cases in Brazil has risen alarmingly recent years. However, there is limited data regarding prevalence the Brazilian prison population. To facilitate development effective interventions, a cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine Treponema pallidum infection, active syphilis, and associated risk factors among prisoners. We administered questionnaire population-based sample prisoners from 12 prisons Central-West collected sera for testing, January December...
Syphilis, an infectious disease considered a global public health concern, can cause stillbirths and neonatal deaths. This highlights the importance of continuous surveillance studies among women reproductive age. A cross-sectional study was carried out to analyze prevalence risk factors associated with Treponema pallidum infection in assisted by primary care units Dourados, city located Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil, which borders Paraguay. questionnaire applied population-based sample,...
Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The diagnosis based on clinical data and serological analysis; however, sensitivity specificity of such tests may vary depending type test stage infection. In order to overcome this premise, study utilized polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection T. pallidum DNA in whole blood samples patients with syphilis. from or without symptoms syphilis, but positive results enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), were included study. A...
