Person-to-person transmission of a hantavirus was first confirmed during 1996 outbreak pulmonary syndrome in southern Argentina, where Andes virus is endemic. To identify other episodes secondary transmission, we reviewed reports 51 cases infection from this region (November 1993-June 2005). Nine clusters involving 20 (39.2%) were found. Two patients, who had symptoms 3 weeks after they shared risks for rodent exposure, considered cluster. The 8 each began with an index case, which almost...
We aimed to implement the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) telementoring model hepatitis C and evaluate its outcomes in health providers. Following ECHO model, an teleECHO clinic was established at Hospital Italiano Argentina. The provides support training physicians from Patagonia who treat patients with C. In order outcomes, completed a survey focused on skills competence before after 6 months of participating project. consisted 10 questions, which participants rated 1 7...
Tenofovir has been hypothesized to be effective against COVID-19 and is available as two prodrugs, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) alafenamide (TAF), both part of antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens. People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) might at higher risk for progression; however, information about the impact on clinical outcomes remains controversial. The COVIDARE a prospective observational multicentric study in Argentina. PLWH were enrolled from September 2020...
Abstract Most human cystic echinococcosis (CE) cases worldwide are attributed to Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto ( s.s ), followed by the G6 and G7 genotypes. While E. s.s. has a cosmopolitan distribution, genotype is restricted areas where camels goats present. Goats primary livestock in Neuquén province Argentina been reported be responsible for significant percentage of CE cysts genotyped. In present study, we genotyped 124 infecting 90 CE-confirmed patients. was identified 51...
Background: Implementation of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs is considered as a useful strategy in order to improve clinical outcomes cost-effective way, reducing addition resistance. The aim this study was determine the impact AMS at institutional level Argentinean hospitals Methods & Materials: Material and methods: Since Jul-2016 multicenter (PROA Project) launched Argentina. One-hundred eleven centers enter into project. Until October-2017, twenty-five completed twelve months...
To document antiretroviral use in Latin America during the last decade.We collected indicators from 79 HIV health care centres 14 American Spanish-speaking countries for 2013-2017. Indicators were analysed by age, sex and other characteristics weighted estimated people under (PUC) population each country.We gathered information on 116 299 PUC. One-third belonged to reporting a shortage of at least one therapy (ART) drug >30 days 2017. At end 2017, 95.1% PUC receiving ART. During 2013-2017,...
Introducción: Existe controversia con respecto a los factores que determinan un mayor riesgo de gravedad y complicaciones por COVID-19 en personas viven VIH (PVVIH). Asimismo, hay datos limitados sobre el impacto la vacunación contra SARS-CoV-2 hospitalización esta población.
Background: The diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE), a worldwide zoonosis, is based primarily on epidemiology, imaging and complemented by immunodiagnosis. Results serology in human CE depend factors such as location genotype Echinococcus granulosus cyst. Serology no longer used our province due to previous poor results. Location cysts may influence immune response, since antigenic stimulus organ implantation. Antigenic variability between genotypes parasite could affect results...
Background: Patients disengaged from HIV care, e.g., missed medication pick-ups, not attending physician visits, account for >70% of new infections. Re-engaging and sustaining engagement is essential to controlling the pandemic. This study tested a physician-delivered evidence-based intervention, Motivational Interviewing (MI), improve health outcomes, adherence antiretroviral therapy (ART), virologic suppression, CD4+ count, retention in self-efficacy among patients Argentina care.
