13. Search for Mycobacterium leprae in wild mammals
Leprosy is still a worldwide public health problem. Brazil and India show the highest prevalence rates of the disease. Natural infection of armadillos Dasypus novemcinctus with Mycobacterium leprae has been reported in some regions of the United States. Identification of bacilli is difficult, particularly due to its inability to grow in vitro. The use of mol

14. Expression of PLUNC family protein in major salivary gland of the autopsied patients with advanced AIDS and without AIDS / Expressão das proteinas da familia PLUNC nas glandulas salivares maiores de pacientes autopsiados com AIDS em fase avançada e sem AIDS
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the expression of PLUNC proteins in major salivary glands (MSG) of AIDS patients with or without infectious conditions and non-HIV patients using post-mortem material. Methods: Sex, age, CD4 cell count, and clinical history were obtained retrospectively from the clinical records of all patients (n=63). We an

15. Serodiagnosis of tuberculosis: specific detection of free and complex-dissociated antibodies anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis recombinant antigens
The diagnostic test characteristics of detecting free and complex-dissociated IgG to three recombinant antigens of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (38-kDa, Ag16 and Ag85B), singly and in combination, were evaluated in sera from 161 tuberculous patients [smear-positive pulmonary TB (50), smear-negative pulmonary TB (pTBsm-) (60) and extrapulmonary TB (51)) and 214

16. Estudo histopatologico, imunoistoquimico e de hibridização ?in situ? das glandulas submandibular e sublingual em pacientes autopsiados com aids em fase avançada / Histopathological, immunohistochemical, and in situ hybridization study of the submandibular and sublingual glands of autopsied patients with advanced AIDS
This study describes the histopathological, immunohistochemical (lHC), and in situ hybridization (ISH) features found in the submandibular (n=103) and sublingual (n=92) glands of autopsied patients who died with AIDS between 1996 and 1999 in the SVOC FMUSP (Medical School of São Paulo University). Sex, age, CD4 cell count, and clinical history were obtained

17. Principais alterações morfológicas no sistema nervoso central em necrópsias de pacientes HIV positivos realizadas no Hospital Escola da Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro, no periódo de 1989 a 1996.
This is a retrospective study of 92 autopsy case of HIV patients, from a total of 847, realized from January, 1989 through December, 1996, in the Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro, Uberaba MG. The objective was to valuated the lesions in the central nervous system (CNS) before the introduction of HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy). The med

18. Micobacteriose de ovinos (Ovis aries) do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Correlação entre teste imunoalérgico, cultivo e histopatológico / Mycobacteriosis of ovine (Ovis aries) from São Paulo State, Brazil. Correlation between immuno allergic, culture and histopathologic tests
The occurrence of few data on ovine (Ovis aries) tuberculosis and mycobacteriosis has motivated this work of isolation and typing microorganism found in lymph nodes and tuberculosis-like gross lesions. Tuberculin skin test was performed in 353 Santa Ines and Texel ovine breeds of two properties located at Pindamonhangaba Municipality - Sao Paulo State. Fifty

19. AvaliaÃÃo da reaÃÃo em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) e mÃtodos convencionais no diagnÃstico da micobacteriose extrapulmonar exceto renal. / Evaluation of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and conventional methods for diagnosis of extrapulmonary mycobacteriosis except renal
In order to focus on the importance of laboratorial diagnosis of extrapulmonary mycobacteria, except renal, we employed the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Clinical samples (body fluids) were tested by PCR for the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTB) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (MNTB). We compared the results obtained through the PCR wit

20. 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

21. Experimental murine mycobacteriosis: evaluation of the functional activity of alveolar macrophages in thalidomide- treated mice
Thalidomide is a selective inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a cytokine involved in mycobacterial death mechanisms. We investigated the role of this drug in the functional activity of alveolar macrophages in the presence of infection induced by intranasal inoculation of Mycobacterium avium in thalidomide-treated and untreated adult Swiss

The aim of this work was to study the parotid mycobacteriosis by histopathologic analysis and to evaluate diagnosis methods: Ziehl-Neelsen staining, immunohistochemistry reaction, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Ligase Chain Reaction (LCR). Ten cases of parotid mycobacteriosis in advanced autopsied AIDS patients were selected. Methods for detection of ge

24. Evaluation of Mycobacterium avium strains virulence from porcine population of south Brazil / Avaliação da virulência de estirpes de Mycobacterium avium presentes na população de suínos no sul do Brasil
Given that the existence of molecularly different families of M. avium circulating in swine of the south area of Brazil has been proved, and that some doubts remain regarding the importance of the horizontal transmission as mechanism of maintenance of the disease, this work aimed to study the virulence of those strains, an important information for the impro
