Genital ulcers (GUs) represent a diagnostic challenge and can be secondary to neoplastic inflammatory processes of different causes. Among those infectious etiology, there are sexually transmitted infections (STIs), very frequent reason for seeking the health service. The most common agents herpes simplex virus Treponema pallidum and, more rarely, Haemophilus ducreyi, Klebsiella granulomatis Chlamydia trachomatis. A careful dermatological examination offers important elements; however,...
Geospatial Intelligence and Health Analysis have been used to identify tuberculosis (TB) hotspots better understand their relationship social economic factors. The purpose of this study was use geospatial intelligence assess the distribution TB its correlations with Human Development Index (HDI) in a city high incidence Brazil.We conducted an ecological study, using National System Information on Noticeable Disease (SINAN) cases. Geocoding performed QGIS 2.0 software Google Maps API 3.0. We...
To (i) describe the nationwide antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) isolates cultured across Brazil in 2018-20 and compare it with NG resistance data from 2015-16, (ii) present epidemiological corresponding gonorrhoea patients 2018-20.Twelve representative sentinel sites men urethral discharge. Susceptibility to eight antimicrobials was examined using agar dilution method, according WHO standards. The consenting participants were invited provide data.In total, 633 (one...
Abstract Objectives Regular quality-assured WGS with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and epidemiological data of patients is imperative to elucidate the shifting gonorrhoea epidemiology, nationally internationally. We describe dynamics gonococcal population in 11 cities Brazil between 2017 2020 emerging disappearing lineages associated AMR, compare Brazilian AMR from 2015 2016, explain recent changes epidemiology. Methods was performed using Illumina NextSeq 550 genomes 623 isolates were used...
Objective: Considering the lack of data on T. pallidum genotyping in Brazil, we aimed to study its strains and their resistance macrolides genital ulcers suggestive syphilis.Methods: Men with syphilis were invited participate. Samples collected a dry cotton swab immersed 0.9% NaCl solution. Detection was done by PCR amplification 260 bp tpp47 gene. The product analyzed electrophoresis 2% agarose gel containing 0.05% ethidium bromide. Positive samples MLST (sequencing chromosomal loci TP0136,...
