13. Programa de avaliação externa para os testes de triagem sorológica de doadores de bancos de sangue dos centros de referência da América Latina: utilização de multipainel específico / Externai evaluation program for blood donors infectious screening tests at Latin America reference centers: specific Multipanel use
Introdução: O risco de transmissão de agentes infeciosos por transfusão sangüínea é maior nos países em desenvolvimento. A hemoterapia na América Latina, embora tenha conquistado grandes avanços tecnológicos e políticos nos últimos anos, ainda apresenta diversos problemas que comprometem a qualidade dos resultados dos testes de triagem sorológi

14. Vitamin B6 Metabolism in Chronic Alcohol Abuse: PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE LEVELS IN PLASMA AND THE EFFECTS OF ACETALDEHYDE ON PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE SYNTHESIS AND DEGRADATION IN HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES
The plasma pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP) level of alcoholic subjects has been compared with that of non-alcoholic individuals in order to ascertain the incidence of abnormal vitamin B6 metabolism in chronic alcohol abuse. 66 alcoholic subjects were selected on the basis that they did not exhibit abnormal liver function tests and hematologic findings. 35 of

15. Clinical significance in alcoholic patients of commonly encountered laboratory test results.
An improved understanding of medical problems of alcoholic patients can be gained from commonly encountered laboratory test results. Liver function tests--such as measures of alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase--may provide evidence of altered hepatic activity of

16. Antibiotic susceptibility of the newly cultivated agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis: promising activity of quinolones and rifamycins.
Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) is a rapidly emerging tick-borne infection which presents as an acute febrile illness and is associated with hematologic abnormalities, elevated hepatic transaminase levels, and characteristic intracellular organisms in peripheral blood granulocytes. Although HGE has been successfully treated with tetracyclines, its susc

17. Thirteen-Year Evolution of Azole Resistance in Yeast Isolates and Prevalence of Resistant Strains Carried by Cancer Patients at a Large Medical Center
Drug resistance is emerging in many important microbial pathogens, including Candida albicans. We performed fungal susceptibility tests with archived isolates obtained from 1984 through 1993 and fresh clinical isolates obtained from 1994 through 1997 by testing their susceptibilities to fluconazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole and compared the results to th

18. Prevention of Cytomegalovirus Disease in Recipients of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplants
The main risk factors for cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplants (SCT) are recipient CMV seropositivity and acute graft-versus-host disease. Currently, two antiviral strategies, prophylactic or preemptive antiviral treatment, are used for prevention of CMV disease. Preemptive treatment is most favorable when short-ter
