1. Streptococcus gallolyticus Bacteremia Detected in Apheresis Platelets and Its Link to Colonic Neoplasms
Abstract Introduction Streptococcus gallolyticus belongs to theStreptococcus bovis complex, and it is a common bacterium colonizing the gastrointestinal tract. Its presence in the blood may suggest an underlying pathology such as a colonic neoplasm. We report herein a case of S. bovis bacteremia in an apheresis platelet donor, review similar cases in the li

2. Trypanosoma cruzi I genotype among isolates from patients with chronic Chagas disease followed at the Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases (FIOCRUZ, Brazil)
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas disease in humans, mainly in Latin America. Trypanosome stocks were isolated by hemoculture from patients followed at Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases (FIOCRUZ) and studied using different approaches. METHODS: For species and genotype identification, the stoc

3. High similarity of Trypanosoma cruzikDNA genetic profiles detected by LSSP-PCR within family groups in an endemic area of Chagas disease in Brazil
IntroductionDetermining the genetic similarities among Trypanosoma cruzi populations isolated from different hosts and vectors is very important to clarify the epidemiology of Chagas disease.MethodsAn epidemiological study was conducted in a Brazilian endemic area for Chagas disease, including 76 chronic chagasic individuals (96.1% with an indeterminate form

4. Comparison of conventional serology and PCR methods for the routine diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection
Introduction Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellated protozoan, is the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, and it is estimated that approximately 5 million people in Brazil are infected with this parasite. This work aimed to compare the current diagnostic methods for Chagas disease, including conventional serological (IFAT and ELISA) and molecular techniques (PCR),

5. Organ tropism during the acute and chronic phases of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in BALB/c mice
The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of Trypanosoma cruzi in the heart, liver, lung, and kidneys, using hemoculture and PCR analysis, of mice infected with different parasite strains during the acute and chronic phases of infection. Parasitemia curves revealed strain-specific biological behaviors. For the Y and JLP strains, the acute

6. Perfil sorológico e avaliação parasitológica pela nested-PCR e hemocultura de indivíduos tratados com benzonidazol para a infecção por Trypanosoma cruzi / Serological profile and parasitological evaluation with neste-PCR and hemoculture of benzonidazol treated individuals for Trypanosoma cruzi infection
A doença de Chagas afeta aproximadamente 9 milhões de pessoas em todo mundo, sendo a maioria dessa população constituída de indivíduos cronicamente infectados, o que a caracteriza como um importante problema de saúde pública. O seu agente etiológico é o protozoário Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitido, principalmente, por meio de insetos vetores triatom

9. Comparison of different diagnostic tests in dogs uninfected and naturally infected with visceral leishmaniasis
Uninfected dogs (n = 10) and those naturally infected with leishmaniasis (n = 10) were subjected to several diagnostic tests, namely: hemoculture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of hemoculture, indirect immunofluorescence (RIFI), cytological examination of lymph node aspirate, culture of lymph node aspirate and PCR of lymph node aspirate. RIFI - followed by

Características clínicas e microbiológicas dos episódios de bacteremias e candidemias em um hospital terciário de grande porte na cidade de Maceió-Alagoas / Clinical and microbiological characteristics in episodes of bacteremia and candidemia in a large tertiary hospital in the city of Maceió Alagoas
Introdução: Apesar dos inúmeros avanços no entendimento da fisiopatologia das infecções da corrente sanguínea (ICS), a má evolução clínica e a manutenção da elevada mortalidade persistem nos pacientes com esta síndrome. O uso de terapêutica empírica de largo espectro, em virtude do desconhecimento da evolução e das características clínica

11. Efficacy of benznidazol treatment for asymptomatic chagasic patients from state of Rio Grande do Sul evaluated during a three years follow-up
The efficacy of benznidazol on the treatment of chagasic patients from the state of Rio Grande do Sul was evaluated during a three-year follow-up. A cohort of 80 asymptomatic chronic chagasic patients or blood bank donors (49 male and 31 female) was studied. Their ages varied from 17-42 years, with a mean and a median of 30 and 35 years, respectively. The 80

12. Serogroups and virulence genotypes of Escherichia coli isolated from patients with sepsis
Sixty strains of Escherichia coli, isolated by hemoculture, from septicemic Brazilian patients were evaluated to determine their serogroup and invasivity to Vero cells. All 60 patients died within 2 days of hospitalization. Furthermore, the molecular study of the following extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli-associated virulence factor (VF) genes was performe
