• Abstract

  Aedes mosquitoes are well adapted in domestic environments and widespread in tropical regions. Since 2015, Brazil has been experiencing a triple epidemic of dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHKV), and Zika (ZIKV) viruses. The last 2 viruses are likely following the path the first reports of Zika of DENV, which has been endemic in most parts of the country since the 1980s. Given this triple epi…

• Abstract

  The cytochemistry Laboratory was created along with the HSCT program of the Amaral Carvalho Hospital for the realization of the CMV antigenemia technique. Since 2004, new diagnostic techniques were implemented to better assist the HSCT recipient, based on the results obtained in research projects approved by FAPESP. Thus, the following techniques were implemented: Indirect immunofluoresce…

• Abstract

  CMV infection is an important complication of transplant recipients, especially in the context of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCT) and lung transplantation. The use of prophylaxis after lung transplantation and the pre-emptive therapy with ganciclovir (GCV), ie, the early introduction of GCV based on positivation of rapid diagnostic techniques (detection of pp65 antigenemia or PCR), signif…

• Abstract

  The main risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) reactivation in HSCT recipients is to live in regions with high endemicity. The incidence of TB in Brazil is 38.2 per 100,000 inhabitants per year. Post transplant immunosuppression favors the reactivation of latent TB infection (LTBI) and a higher incidence of tuberculosis is expected in this group of patients in comparison to general population…

• Abstract

  Human metapneumovirus was first isolated in stored nasal aspirates from children with respiratory symptoms in the Netherlands by Van den Hoogen et al. (2001). Clinical findings were similar to those observed in children with RSV infection, ranging from mild symptoms such as fever, cough or coryza, to severe complications such as pneumonia or bronchiolitis. Since this preliminary report, o…
