Abstract Congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) causes early brain development impairment by affecting neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Here, we analyze NPCs from three pairs of dizygotic twins discordant for CZS. We compare RNA-Seq the derived CZS-affected and CZS-unaffected twins. Prior to virus (ZIKV) infection CZS babies show a significantly different gene expression signature mTOR Wnt pathway regulators, key neurodevelopmental program. Following ZIKV in vitro infection, affected individuals have...
Dengue fever is the most common infectious disease transmitted by a mosquito and major economic burden in endemic countries. The reported number of dengue cases 2013 evidences disease's disturbing impact on human health Brazil: 950,193 clinical cases, 3,749 with severe manifestations, 201 deaths (data up to July 13, Pan American Health Organization); any four serotypes was etiologic agent different geographical regions. epidemiological surveillance center “Prof. Alexandre vranjac” documented...
Knowledge regarding the risks associated with Zika virus (ZIKV) infections in pregnancy has relied on individual studies relatively small sample sizes and variable risk estimates of adverse outcomes, or surveillance routinely collected data. Using data from Brazilian Cohorts Consortium, this study aims, to estimate outcomes among offspring women RT-PCR-confirmed ZIKV infection during explore heterogeneity between studies.We performed an participant meta-analysis 1548 pregnant 13 studies,...
A rubella serological survey of 476 individuals selected by cluster sampling technique from Caieiras, a small town located in the outskirts São Paulo city, southeastern Brazil, was carried out over period November 1990-January 1991. The aim study to characterize epidemiology representative non-immunized community south east Brazil. comprised seroprevalence study, stratified age (0-40 years) and seroconversion vaccine non-infected children below 2 years age. Mathematical techniques were...
to estimate the prevalence of infection by respiratory viruses in pediatric patients with cancer and acute (ARI) and/or fever.cross-sectional study, from January 2011 December 2012. The secretions nasopharyngeal aspirates were analyzed children younger than 21 years infections. Patients treated at Grupo em Defesa da Criança Com Câncer (Grendacc) University Hospital (HU), Jundiaí, SP. rapid test was used for detection influenza virus (Kit Biotrin, Inc. Ireland), real-time multiplex polymerase...
In 1992 a major vaccination strategy against measles-mumps-rubella was introduced in the State of Sāo, Brazil. This based on mathematical models and comprised pulse covering aII children aged 1–10 years, followed by inclusion this vaccine routine calendar at 15 months age. The present work reports evaluation efficacy mixed strategy. A rubella seroprevalence survey carried out immediately one year after campaign, comprising 4953 1–15 years. We show that average increased from 0.40 to 0.97...
The purpose of this study was to identify the rate infections due RSV and other viruses in children. In addition we have analyzed demographic data clinical characteristics RSV-positive patients comparing with infected by respiratory viruses. We also described seasonality occurrence a hospital São Paulo. Children below 5 years old admitted Santa Casa de Paulo Hospital between February 2005 September 2006 acute (ARI) were included. A nasopharyngeal specimens obtained sterile No. French feeding...
Abstract Robust epidemiological and biological evidence supports a causal link between prenatal Zika Virus (ZIKV) infection congenital brain abnormalities including microcephaly. However, it remains uncertain if ZIKV in pregnancy also increases the risk for other adverse fetal birth outcomes. In prospective cohort study we investigated influence of on prevalence prematurity, low weight, small-for-gestational-age, death as well microcephaly (i.e., overall disproportionate) offspring women...
A microcefalia é caracterizada, no recém-nascido, por perímetro cefálico inferior a 2 desvios padrão abaixo da média, considerando idade gestacional, sexo e população. Possui causas multifatoriais complexas, afetando o sistema nervoso do feto, ou tardiamente, repercutindo desenvolvimento adaptação criança ao ambiente. Não existe tratamento específico. O Objetivo desta revisão integrativa foi levantar, analisar sintetizar as evidências disponíveis sobre os recursos terapêuticos não...

Congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection may present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. Some sequelae, particularly neurodevelopmental problems, have later onset. We conducted prospective cohort study 799 high-risk pregnant women who were followed up until delivery. Eighty-three and/or newborns considered ZIKV exposed infected. Laboratory diagnosis was made by polymerase chain reaction in the mothers and their respective newborns, as well Dengue virus, Chikungunya serology....
Human parainfluenza viruses account for a significant proportion of lower respiratory tract infections in children. To assess the prevalence as cause acute infection and to compare clinical data this against those human syncytial virus. A prospective study children younger than five years with was conducted. Detection nasopharyngeal aspirate samples performed using indirect immunofluorescence reaction. Length hospital stay, age, history physical exam, diagnoses, evolution (admission...
Zika virus (ZIKV) is highly neurotropic after crossing the placenta, inducing teratogenic effects that result in delayed development and microcephaly infants. The available evidence for vertical transmission of this infection based on placental studies showing alterations trophoblastic tissue. However, complete characterization ZIKV-infected placenta involved pathways has yet to be fully clarified. This case report ZIKV describes morphologic molecular changes placenta. Hyperplasia Hofbauer...
Despite great advances in our knowledge of the consequences Zika virus to human health, many questions remain unanswered, and results are often inconsistent. The small sample size individual studies has limited inference about spectrum congenital manifestations prognosis affected children. Brazilian Cohorts Consortium addresses these limitations by bringing together harmonizing epidemiological data from a series prospective cohort pregnant women with rash children microcephaly and/or other...
The sensitivity and specificity of salivary rubella antibody detection was investigated using samples collected from 301 children after a mass vaccination campaign in the state São Paulo, Brazil. Saliva were by 2 different methods: directly dribbling into container or commercial collecting device. Corresponding finger-prick blood on filter paper. Rubella specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) measured saliva capture radioimmunoassay indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IgG showed good...
