Invasive fungal disease (IFD) is an important complication after solid organ transplantation (SOT). A marked geographic variation in the epidemiology of IFD kidney (KT) has been suggested by results previous studies. Nevertheless, data from Latin American centers are scarce.This study sought to describe at a Brazilian KT center.This was retrospective single-center cohort that included patients who underwent between 1998 and 2009 were followed up until July 2015.

This retrospective cohort study assessed the results of implementation preventive recommendations for tuberculosis (TB) among renal transplant recipients in an endemic area (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Subjects were defined as at high risk TB if they had latent infection (LTBI), reported recent close contact with individuals or received a graft from donor LTBI. A 6-month course isoniazid therapy (IPT) was targeted to high-risk subjects. The end point confirmed by culture. Altogether, 535...
O acesso fácil à ecocardiografia (ECOCG) e o seu uso extensivo repetido (como acontece em Portugal) facilitará atualmente diagnóstico precoce dos mixomas cardíacos (MC). Reavaliar os perfis clínico anatomopatológico MC luz das actuais condições diagnósticas. Estudo retrospetivo de 40 doentes (dts) consecutivamente propostos para cirurgia (entre janeiro 2003 2010), com confirmado histologicamente – 26 dts do sexo feminino (F) 14 masculino (M), idade média 64 ± 12 anos (12-81; 53% > 65 anos,...
Background Since human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals are at increased risk of severe disease from pandemic influenza A (H1N1pdm09), vaccination was recommended as a prevention strategy. The aim the present study to evaluate safety, immunogenicity and persistence immune response after against (H1N1pdm09) with an adjuvanted vaccine in adults using two single double doses. Methodology/Principal Findings Open label, randomized trial following H1N1pdm09 HIV-infected...
Easy access to echocardiography and its extensive repeated use (as is the case in Portugal) now facilitates early diagnosis of cardiac myxoma (CM). To re-evaluate clinical pathological profile CM under current diagnostic conditions. We performed a retrospective study 40 patients consecutively referred for surgery (between January 2003 2010) with histologically confirmed – 26 female (F) 14 male (M), mean age 64 ± 12 years (range 12–81; 53% over 65, 43% 70); 39 were operated (one was not...
