Human T-cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV-1, HTLV-2, and HIV-1) share the same routes of virus transmission, but have different pathogenicity. The HTLV-1 is the etiological agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and tropical spastic paraparesis or HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM). The HTLV-2 although not associated with specific diseases was detected in some cases similar to T…
The aim of the present study is: (i) Establish a surveillance and diagnostic multidisciplinary group of HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 infections at IAL (SuDiHIV/HTLV), firstly analyzing samples from HlV-infected patients attended at the STD/AIDS Reference Center in São Paulo, Brazil (CRT DST/Aids); (ii) compare the efficiency of HTLV-1/2 confirmatory assays in the diagnosis of HIV/HTLV-1/2 coinfected…
The present work has the aim to: a) identify and characterize HHV-8 infection in São Paulo, Brazil, searching for DNA sequences by PCR in PBMC, saliva, semen, vaginal fluid and KS tissue lesions obtained from KS-AIDS patients, from Instituto de Infectologia Emílio Ribas and Casa da AIDS - São Paulo; b) to determine the prevalence of HHV-8 infection in the general population by specific an…

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, rs12979860 e rs8099917) near the IL28B gene responsible for the production of interferon lambda (IFN ») have been associated with failure in antiviral innate immunity, treatment with PEG-IFN± and ribavirin and sustained virological response in hepatitis C. These polymorphisms have been studied in human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) infected individua…

The human T-cell lymphotropic viruses (HTLV-1, HTLV-2, and HIV) share the same routes of virus transmission and diverge in pathogeneses. HTLV-1 is the etiological agent of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM), HTLV-2 is not associated with any particular disease, and HIV is responsible for the global pandemic of AIDS.…
The present work has the aim to: a) identify and characterize HHV-8 infection in São Paulo, Brazil, searching for DNA sequences by PCR in PBMC, saliva, semen, vaginal fluid and KS tissue lesions obtained from KS-AIDS patients from IIER and Casa da AIDS-SP; b) to determine the prevalence of HHV-8 infection in the general population by specific antibodies determination in plasma, by ELISA, …
