• Abstract

  Among the major endemical diseases in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) stands out as a systemic granulomatous disease, caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (P. brasiliensis). Inhalation of fungal conidia may result in asymptomatic infection, acute or chronic disease or sequelae. Murine model studies have established the role of innate and adaptative immunity and factors rela…

• Abstract

  Considering the high morbi-mortality of Chagas disease reactivation in immunosupressed patients, this prospective report aims: 1) to monitor transplanted or pre-transplant patients by analyzing levels of parasitemia; 2) to verify the influence of parasitemia on the survival of cardiomiopathic patients after 6 and 12 months comparing to cardiac biomarkers (troponin, natriuretic peptide typ…

• Abstract

  The identification of agents of invasive aspergillosis and possible antifungal resistance in the outcome of the disease will be analyzed in a prospective study including 300 patients of HCFMUSP with proven, probable and possible invasive aspergillosis, according to the criteria defined by EORTC/MSG. The fungi isolated from patients with colonization (50 patients) and invasive aspergillosi…

• Abstract

  Chagas Disease is now an active infection in urban areas of endemic and non-endemic countries. The migration of infected people from endemic areas to big cities generated new sources of infections, congenital transmission as well as blood derivatives. In parallel, the reactivation of chronic trypanosomiasis was reported in patients with chronic disease and comorbidities as HIV infection/a…
