2. DemÃncia associada ao HIV em idosos: estudo seccional na cidade do Recife, Brasil e revisÃo de literatura
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus which infection present as a pandemic. Pathogenically, is responsible for a depression of the immunological system mainly by means of depletion of lymphocytes T CD4 and, then, the opportunistical infections that follow. The virus, beyond immunodepression, is associated with a direct lesion of some organs

3. Blastocystis sp. and other intestinal parasites in hemodialysis patients
Chronic renal insufficiency disease (CRI) leads to uremia in hemodialysis patients and induces a state of immunodepression that results in higher frequencies of infections and diarrhea. Hemodialysis patients resident in the city of Campo Mourão, Paraná, Brazil were analyzed from April 2006 through September 2007 for Blastocystis sp. and other intestinal pa

4. Trypanosoma (Duttonella) vivax: its biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and introduction in the New World - a review
The biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic techniques, and history of the introduction of Trypanosoma (Duttonella) vivax in the New World are reviewed. The two main immunological responses of trypanosome-infected animals - antibody production and immunodepression - are discussed in the context of how these responses play a role in disease tolerance

5. Oral Candida spp. colonization in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals
Several yeast species of Candida genus can colonize the skin as well as the mucous membrane of the vagina and the digestive tract for short or long periods. Depending on the host's immunological state and the yeast's virulence, colonization can become an infection, invading the colonized tissues and also disseminating. AIDS is characterized by the host's int

6. Início tardio da terapia anti-retroviral entre pacientes acompanhados em dois serviços públicos de referência para o HIV/aids em Belo Horizonte
Introduction: The development of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved the quality of life and survival of patients living with HIV/AIDS. Many authors have shown that patients initiating ART with a CD4+ lymphocyte-T count (CD4 count) lower than 200 cells/mm is 3 associated with higher mortality rates and faster development of AIDS. Various gu

7. AvaliaÃÃo da atividade cicatrizante da Lectina de Cratylia mollis em camundongos normais e imunodeprimidos experimentalmente
Um organismo imunocomprometido tem dificuldade de restabelecimento apÃs uma injÃria. Sementes da lectina de Cratylia mollis, experimentalmente chamada Cramoll 1,4, foi usada no tratamento de feridas cutÃneas em camundongos normais e imunodeprimidos, com o objetivo de desenvolver uma terapia que pudesse superar a condiÃÃo imunodeprimida do organismo.

8. Effects of chronic and prolonged solar radiation in immunologic system of fishermen from Recife, Brazil / Efeitos da radiação solar crônica e prolongada sobre o sistema imunológico de pescadores do Recife
Introduction: The ultraviolet radiation effects on the human immunological system are highly complex, disturbing some components of immune response. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical, histopathological and immunological effects from solar radiation in male fishermen with more than 10 years of uninterrupted activity. Methods:

9. Spontaneous nephrocutaneous fistula
Spontaneous renal fistula to the skin is rare. The majority of cases develop in patients with antecedents of previous renal surgery, renal trauma, renal tumors, and chronic urinary tract infection with abscess formation. We report the case of a 62-year old woman, who complained of urine leakage through the skin in the lumbar region for 2 years. She underwent

10. Prevalence of mycobacteremia in patients with AIDS and persistant fever
In the advanced stages of AIDS, characterized by severe immunodepression, tuberculosis (TB) may present with a clinical picture of septic shock, due to typical bacteremia. Hematogenic dissemination of mycobacteria is frequent in immunodepressed patients with TB or disseminated mycobacteriosis, leading to increased positivity in detection by automated blood c

11. Nonspecific immunodepression and protective immunity in mice infected with Leishmania mexicana.
C57BL/6 mice infected with Leishmania mexicana showed depression of the in vitro immunoglobulin M-plaque-forming cell response to sheep erythrocytes. Immunodepression was present 3 weeks after inoculation and was maximal at 11 weeks. Thereafter, there was a gradual return to normal immunoresponsiveness correlated with the resolution of lesions. At the time o

12. Nosocomial infections and immunity: lesson from brain-injured patients
Of brain-injured patients admitted to intensive care units, a significant number acquires nosocomial infections. Increased susceptibility to infectious agents could, at least partly, be due to transient immunodepression triggered by brain damage. Immune deficiency in patients with severe brain injury primarily involves T cell dysfunction. However, humoral an
