Influenza-like illness (ILI) definitions have been used worldwide for influenza surveillance. These different case can vary with regard to sensitivity and predictive values laboratory confirmed influenza. The literature has indicated the inclusion of other viruses may be cause these variable results. objective study was evaluate ILI national sentinel criteria viral etiologies in adults diagnosed acute respiratory infection (ARI) and/or from 2001 2003 Sao Paulo, Brazil. Clinical evaluations...
SARS coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection in different clinical specimens has raised important insights about its pathogenesis, but some details remain to be understood. In that respect, disrupt viral control seen solid organ transplant patients on chronic immunosuppression can help unveil pathogenic mechanisms and characterize new coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) immunological aspects, as well secondary complications. We herein report a case of SARS-CoV-2 ascitic fluid from kidney patient...
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is highly infectious causing millions of deaths worldwide. Nasopharyngeal swabs are the primary sample choice for diagnosis severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), thus, to decrease exposure potentially infected samples through collection a key point reduce risk infection in healthcare workers. OBJECTIVES This study aimed evaluate sensitivity and viral load saliva specimens by days symptoms onset comparing nasopharyngeal...
In a single day, six of 150 (4%) asymptomatic visitors were diagnosed with COVID-19 at hospital universal masking policy. Two inpatients (contacts) subsequently developed symptoms. More rigorous protective measures during visitation periods may need to be included in infection control practices reduce nosocomial transmissions.
Influenza virus infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality. activity varies worldwide, regional detection is influenced by geographic conditions, demographic patient-risk factors. We assessed influenza patterns of seasonality during three consecutive years (2001-2003) in risk groups São Paulo city. Four-hundred-twelve outpatients acute respiratory infection were subjected to epidemiological, clinical laboratory investigations; these included community population (N=140),...
BACKGROUND Influenza viral load (VL) can be a decisive factor in determining the antiviral efficacy clearance. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate rate of infection and role influenza VL on clinical spectrum illnesses among different patient groups attended at tertiary hospital Brazil. METHODS Samples were collected from patients presenting acute respiratory 2009 2013. Overall, 2262 samples analysed distributed into three groups: (i) asymptomatic (AS); (ii) symptomatic outpatients (OP);...
Two antigenically distinct lineages of influenza B viruses, the Victoria-like and Yamagata-like strains, currently circulate among humans. Surveillance from United States America Europe over last 10 years showed that chance a correct matching between vaccine circulating lineage had been 50%. We investigated infection in different patient groups (asymptomatic, general community, with comorbidities hospitalised) attended at tertiary hospital city São Paulo, Brazil 2001-2013. All samples were...

Abstract First in Manaus the Brazilian Northern region, Variant of Concern P.1 traveled 3800 kilometers southeast to endanger Sao Paulo contributing collapse health system. Here, we show evidence how fast VOC has spread most populated city South America.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of two methods for detection influenza virus in immunocompromised transplant patients.METHODS: A total 475 respiratory samples, 236 from patients a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation program and 239 kidney patients, were analyzed by direct fluorescence assay Centers Disease Control real-time polymerase chain reaction protocol B detection.RESULTS: Influenza using either method was 7.6% group 30.5% patient group.Influenza yielded...
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are the major cause of common cold. HRVs were recently reclassified into Enterovirus genus (HEV) in Picornaviridae family. and other members HEV share many features, including sense RNA genomes partial nucleotide sequence identity. The aim this study was to evaluate different HRV detection strategies. Samples from adults with acute respiratory infection (n = 291) who treated Sao Paulo Hospital (2001-2003) tested using three assays. first assay detected...
We report a human coronavirus OC43 infection outbreak in hospitalized patients and healthcare workers São Paulo, Brazil, occurring after SARS-CoV-2 cases disappeared. Infection was associated with 5 (29.4%) patients. Routine surveillance including respiratory virus panel can improve detection both professionals
