1. Infection related to Klebsiella pneumoniae producing carbapenemase in renal transplant patients
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the risk factors related to Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase infection after renal transplantation. Methods: This was a retrospective epidemiological (case-control) study, conducted from October 2011 to march 2016. Transplanted patients with infection by this bacteria during hospitalization were selected as cases. The con

2. Study of the risk factors related to acquisition of urinary tract infections in patients submitted to renal transplant
INTRODUCTION: Urinary tract infections (UTI) among transplant recipients are usually caused by gram-negative microorganisms and can provoke a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with the acquisition of UTIs during the first year after renal transplantation. METHODS: Here, we report a s

3. Epidemiological aspects of hepatitis C virus infection among renal transplant recipients in Central Brazil
An investigation was conducted involving 255 renal transplant recipients in the state of Goiás, Central Brazil, to determine the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV), its risk factors, the genotypes involved, and the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) present in the patients. All serum samples were tested for anti-HCV antibodies and HCV RNA. Forty-one

4. Prevalência de anticorpos anti-herpesvírus humano tipo 8 (HHV-8) em soros de pacientes com insuficiência renal crônica / Prevalence of human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) antibodies in serum samples from patients with chronic kidney disease
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is frequently associated with Kaposis sarcoma (KS) in immunodeficient and renal transplanted patients. The HHV-8 seroprevalence in healthy populations varies from 1% to 8%. The present study aimed to determine the HHV-8 seroprevalence and antibodies titers in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with or without substitu

5. Patterns of influenza infections among different risk groups in Brazil
Influenza virus infections are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Influenza activity varies worldwide, and regional detection is influenced by geographic conditions, demographic and patient-risk factors. We assessed influenza activity and patterns of seasonality during three consecutive years (2001-2003) in three risk groups in São Paulo city. Fo

6. Infection in liver transplantation: current epidemiology and predictive factors / Infecções apos transplante de figado : caracteristicas e fatores de risco
Infection is a frequent and severe complication of liver transplantation. Recent surgical and medical advances may have influenced epidemiology and risk factors of this complication. Aims: To study the epidemiology of infection in a prospective series of liver transplant recipients and to identify predictive factors for infection and its effects on survival.

7. Fatores de Risco para Infecções em Transplante Renal
Objetivos: Verificar a prevalência de infecções hospitalares (IHs) ocorridas até 30 dias após o transplante renal no Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Goiânia e analisar os fatores de risco para aquisição de infecção de sítio cirúrgico (ISC) em pacientes submetidos a transplante renal(Txr) e as conseqüências das infecções. Métodos: Foi

8. Risk Factors for New Detection of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in Acute-Care Hospitals That Employ Strict Infection Control Procedures
Accurate assessment of the risk factors for colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) among high-risk patients is often confounded by nosocomial VRE transmission. We undertook a 15-month prospective cohort study of adults admitted to high-risk units (hematology, renal, transplant, and intensive care) in three teaching hospitals that used ident
