13. ValidaÃÃo da reaÃÃo da cadeia de polimerase em tempo real para o diagnÃstico de neurotoxoplasmose em pacientes com AIDS / ValidaÃÃo da reaÃÃo da cadeia de polimerase em tempo real para o diagnÃstico de neurotoxoplasmose em pacientes com AIDS
O diagnÃstico da neurotoxoplasmose em portadores de aids pode ser difÃcil, requerendo distinÃÃo com outras neuroinfecÃÃes e lesÃes tumorais. Os exames complementares disponÃveis trazem limitaÃÃes para a confirmaÃÃo da doenÃa. A tese esteve composta por uma revisÃo da literatura, abordando o estado de arte dos mÃtodos disponÃveis para diagnÃs

14. Programa de vigilância em saúde da toxoplasmose gestacional e congênita : elaboração, implantação e avaliação no município de Londrina, Paraná
A toxoplasmose congênita é uma doença grave que acomete o feto quando a mãe adquire a primoinfecção durante a gestação. As crianças podem apresentar os sinais e sintomas clássicos da toxoplasmose congênita (hidrocefalia, coriorretinite, calcificação cerebral e retardo mental), conhecida como a Tétrade de Sabin ou podem nascer normais e desenvol

15. Ventriculitis: a rare case of primary cerebral toxoplasmosis in AIDS patient and literature review
Cerebral toxoplasmosis remains the most important neurological opportunistic infection and the most common cause of intracerebral mass lesion in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We report a case of an adult AIDS patient with an atypical pattern of toxoplasma encephalitis, presenting with ventriculitis and obstructive hydrocephalus wit

16. Preenchimento Perceptual em Portadores de Lesão Retínica
OBJETIVO: Estudar preenchimento perceptual de lesão retínica produzida por corioretinite. Embora exista área de escotoma com déficit de impulsos visuais, pacientes com tais lesões percebem o campo visual de forma ininterrupta, sugerindo a existência de fenômeno de preenchimento perceptual nessas regiões danificadas pela corioretinite. MÉTODOS: Foram

17. FundamentaÃÃo histopatolÃgica das AlteraÃÃes de imagem por ressonÃncia MagnÃtica das lesÃes no sistema nervoso Central de pacientes com sÃndrome de ImunodeficiÃncia adquirida e Neurotoxoplasmose
Objectives : to fundamentate histologically the most important MRI findings in the neurotoxoplasmosis. Patients and Methods : twenty patients with AIDS and neurological signs and symptoms underwent MRI scan (1.0 and 1.5T). We utilized the presuntive clinical, radiological and therapeutic diagnostic criteria. We did MR images in differents orthogonals plans,

18. Cerebral aspergillosis due to Aspergillus fumigatus in AIDS patient: first culture - proven case reported in Brazil
Cerebral aspergillosis is a rare cause of brain expansive lesion in AIDS patients. We report the first culture-proven case of brain abscess due to Aspergillus fumigatus in a Brazilian AIDS patient. The patient, a 26 year-old male with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and history of pulmonary tuberculosis and cerebral toxoplasmosis, had fever, cou

19. Cerebral infarction related to cryptococcal meningitis in an HIV-infected patient: case report and literature review
Neurological dysfunction as the first manifestation of AIDS has been found in 10 to 20% of symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus infections. However, stroke has rarely been reported in AIDS patients. The most common causes of cerebral infarction in AIDS are central nervous system infections: toxoplasmosis, cryptococcal meningitis and tuberculosis. Potenti

20. Clinical presentation and follow up of children with congenital toxoplasmosis in Brazil
We evaluated the clinical presentation and determined the ocular and neurologic sequelae in children with congenital toxoplasmosis in Brazil, taking into consideration the shortage of national publications on this disease. Follow-up evaluations were made of 43 children with congenital toxoplasmosis referred to Santa Casa de São Paulo, during a period of at

21. Limited value of PCR for detection of Toxoplasma gondii in blood from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients.
Cerebral toxoplasmosis is a common, opportunistic, and often life-threatening disease in HIV-infected patients. Diagnosis is supported mainly by clinical evidence and computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans, but brain images may share features with other brain diseases occurring in HIV-infected patients. To determine the diagnostic value

22. PCR Assay Using Cerebrospinal Fluid for Diagnosis of Cerebral Toxoplasmosis in Brazilian AIDS patients
Highly active antiretroviral therapy has decreased the incidence of opportunistic infections in the central nervous system in AIDS patients. However, neurological abnormalities still remain important causes of mortality and morbidity in developing countries. In Brazil, cerebral toxoplasmosis is the most common cerebral mass lesion in AIDS patients. For these

23. Detection by PCR of Toxoplasma gondii in blood in the diagnosis of cerebral toxoplasmosis in patients with AIDS.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplification of Toxoplasma gondii DNA was performed prospectively in the blood of 19 patients with AIDS and cerebral toxoplasmosis. The B1 gene and TGR1E sequence were used as targets and results were confirmed by hybridisation. Controls consisted of 24 HIV infected patients with tissue culture proven T gondii parasit

24. Value of PCR for evaluating occurrence of parasitemia in immunocompromised patients with cerebral and extracerebral toxoplasmosis.
PCR was used to evaluate the occurrence of Toxoplasma gondii parasitemia by detection of the B1 gene in blood samples in two groups of immunosuppressed patients (148 subjects) suspected of having cerebral or extracerebral infection, respectively. Group I consisted of 52 patients with AIDS with suspected cerebral toxoplasmosis. The diagnosis was clinically pr
