1. Joint report of SBI (Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases), FEBRASGO (Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations), SBU (Brazilian Society of Urology) and SBPC/ML (Brazilian Society of Clinical Pathology/Laboratory Medicine): recommendations for the clinical management of lower urinary tract infections in pregnant and non-pregnant women
ABSTRACT Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common condition in women. There is an increased concern on reduction of bacterial susceptibility resulting from wrongly prescribing antimicrobials. This paper summarizes the recommendations of four Brazilian medical societies (SBI - Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases, FEBRASGO - Brazilian Federation of Gynec

2. Sanitary program to reduce embryonic mortality associated with infectious diseases in cattle
Abstract Among reproductive disorders in dairy and beef cattle worldwide, embryonic mortalities stand out as one of the most frequent. Because of the multifactorial etiology, the clinical and laboratory diagnoses of embryonic mortality causes in cattle are quite complex. Often, infectious causes may account for up to 50% of bovine embryonic mortality rates a

3. Retrospective analysis of post-exposure to human anti-rabies treatment in Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil
This analysis aimed to identify characteristics of accidents that would, probably, provoke rabies infection. A total of 14,409 survey questionnaires for surveillance of human rabies from the Brazilian Information System for Disease Notification (SINAN), from 2000 to 2005, were analyzed. Regarding demographics, it was observed that 7,377 (51.5%) of the victim

4. A prospective study of hepatitis B virus markers in patients with chronic HBV infection from Brazilian families of Western and Asian origin
The purpose of the present study was to determine the frequency of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers in families of HBsAg-positive patients with chronic liver disease. Serum anti-HBc, HBsAg and anti-HBs were determined by enzyme immunoassay and four subpopulations were considered: genetically related (consanguineous) and non-genetically related (non-consanguin

5. "Hepatite B entre as gestantes atendidas pelo programa do pré-natal da Secretaria Municipal da Saúde da Prefeitura Municipal de Ribeirão Preto: prevalência de marcadores e cuidados prestados aos recém-nascidos" / "Hepatitis B Among Pregnants attended by the Pre-Natal Program of the Municipal Secretary of Health of Ribeirão Preto: Prevalence of Markers and Care Provided to the New-borns."
Estima-se que aproximadamente 400 milhões de indivíduos sejam portadores crônicos do vírus da hepatite B no mundo. Quando incide em adultos, a doença apresenta elevada proporção de evolução para a cura, ao passo que na ocorrência de transmissão vertical, o risco de cronificação chega a 90%, aumentando muito a possibilidade de graves conseqüênc

8. Toxoplasma gondii Antigen-Pulsed-Dendritic Cell-Derived Exosomes Induce a Protective Immune Response against T. gondii Infection
It was previously demonstrated that immunizing mice with spleen dendritic cells (DCs) that had been pulsed ex vivo with Toxoplasma gondii antigens triggers a systemic Th1-biased specific immune response and induces protection against infection. T. gondii can cause severe sequelae in the fetuses of mothers who acquire the infection during pregnancy, as well a

9. Pre- and Postexposure Prophylaxis of Ebola Virus Infection in an Animal Model by Passive Transfer of a Neutralizing Human Antibody
A neutralizing human monoclonal antibody, KZ52, protects guinea pigs from lethal Ebola Zaire virus challenge. Administration before or up to 1 h after challenge resulted in dose-dependent protection by the antibody. Interestingly, some antibody-treated animals survived despite developing high-level viremia, suggesting that the mechanism of protection by KZ52

10. O-antigen seroepidemiology of Klebsiella clinical isolates and implications for immunoprophylaxis of Klebsiella infections.
To provide a database for the development of an O-antigen-polysaccharide-containing vaccine against Klebsiella spp., we examined the O-antigen seroepidemiology of 378 Klebsiella clinical isolates collected prospectively in two university centers. Strains were typed by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with rabbit antisera specific for serogroups

11. Isolation of species-specific protein antigens of Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia prowazekii for immunodiagnosis and immunoprophylaxis.
A simple procedure for the selective isolation of the protective species-specific protein antigens (SPAs) of Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia prowazekii was developed to permit use of the SPAs in the immunodiagnosis and immunoprophylaxis of typhus infections. Although the SPAs were readily extracted from lysozyme- or detergent-treated rickettsiae, as measured

12. Hepatitis A: Old and New
The hepatitis A virus (HAV), a picornavirus, is a common cause of hepatitis worldwide. Spread of infection is generally person to person or by oral intake after fecal contamination of skin or mucous membranes; less commonly, there is fecal contamination of food or water. Hepatitis A is endemic in developing countries, and most residents are exposed in childh
