Comparison of vigilance methods in three houses with different Triatoma infestans densities

Atrav��s da prova de 7 dias foi estudado o grau de resist��ncia do Plasmodium falciparum �� cloroquina, amodiaquina e sulfadoxina-pirimetamina em Porto Velho, Estado de Rond��nia, Brasil. N��o se observaram diferen��as significativas nas m��dias de parasitas nos dias de seguimento e nas propor����es de resist��ncia entre os tr��s medicamentos testados, fazendo com que os autores recomendem a manuten����o das 4-aminoquinole��nas como drogas a serem usadas atualmente em infec����es n��o graves por P. falciparum na ��rea de Porto Velho.

Fulminant hepatitis with microvesicular steatosis (a histologic comparison of cases occurring in Brazil - Labrea hepatitis - and in central Africa - Bangui hepatitis)

A similar histopathologic picture of fatal hepatitis associated with widespread acute fatty changes in hepatocytes and single-cell necrosis was seen in epidemic cases occurring in two distinct equatorial areas having high prevalences of HBV and HDV infections. The cases were previously considered to be two different entities; Labrea hepatitis in Brazil, and Bangui hepatitis in the Central African Republic. However, the histopathologic findings suggest that they are pathogenetically and etiologically related to HBVand HDV infections, probably modified by some as yet unknown factor (s) present in equatorial forest zones.

Diagnostic tests for amoebic liver abscess: comparison of enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa) and counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE)

The liver abscess is the most frequent extraintestinal complication of intestinal amoebiasis: its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical picture but it must be confirmed by paraclinic tests. Themost stringent diagnosis requires identification of E. histolytica. But this is possible only in a few cases. Serological tests greatly improve the diagnosis of this severe complication of amoebiasis. We compared the Enzyme Linfed Immunosorbent Assay and the Counterimmunoeletrophoresis techniques. Both techniques were used to detect amoebic antibodies in 50 control patients, 30 patients with liver abscess and 30 patients with intestinal amoebiasis. All the sera from control patients gave negative results iin both techniques. When analysing the sera from patients with intestinal amoebiasis, 10% of them were positive by ELISA but non by CIE. The sera of patients with liver abscess, we found that 90% were positive by the ELISA method and 66.6% by the CIE technique. In patients with amoebic liver abscess, the results showed that the ELISA was more sensitive than the CIE, as it presented a higher sensitivity (100%) than that of the CIE technique (66%).

The comparison of the Butzler medium, filtration technique and their association with isolation of Campylobacter ssp

Campylobacter was isolated in 178 out of 622 stool samples (200 porcine, 220 bovine, and 202 canine). From these 178 samples, the microorganism was identified in 64 samples (36%) isolated only in Butzler selective medium (BSM), 34 samples (19%) using filtration technique (FT), and in 80 samples (45%) using both BSM and FT. Comparison of the proportion of positivity using both techniques showed a significant value (c2 = 9,184; p > 0.001); BSM (36%) being more efficient than FT (19%). The use of both techniques yielded the highest isolation positivity (45%).
