Central Nervous System Paracoccidioidomycosis: an overview
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Autores: Almeida,Sérgio Monteiro de.
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is an infectious disease, endemic to subtropical areas of Central and South America, caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. It is a chronic disease, mostly affecting adult males, with a mean patient age of 44 years. Central nervous system involvement (CNS PCM) has been found in 13% of the patients with systemic disease. We reviewed the clinical presentation, diagnosis techniques and treatments for CNS PCM.

Functional assesment of patients with AIDS disease
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Autores: Zonta,Marise Bueno; Almeida,Sérgio Monteiro de; Carvalho,Mirian T. M. de; Werneck,Lineu César.
We documented the types and degree of functional disability in 74 patients with AIDS at the Hospital de Clínicas of the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil. Few of these patients are referred for rehabilitation services and there is only a limited team approach in their care. We found that 91% of the patients had some degree of functional impairment; in 81% the complaint was weakness and in 47% it was neurological involvement. According to the Barthel Index, 79% were considered functionally independent, 14% partially dependent and 7% dependent. For most of them, independence requires effort and their quality of life is reduced. Severe disability was rather unusual, while mild or moderate disability levels were not. The functional physical disability found...

Comparison of immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence assays for pp65 cytomegalovirus antigen in immunocompromised patients
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Autores: Debur,Maria do Carmo; Vidal,Luine R. Rosele; Nogueira,Meri Bordignon; Pereira,Luciane Aparecida; Takahashi,Gislene R.A.; Rotta,Indianara; Almeida,Sérgio Monteiro de; Raboni,Sonia Mara.
We compared the pp65 antigen detection by an in house method (immunoperoxidase assay) and by a commercial kit (immunofluorescence assay) available for cytomegalovirus infection diagnosis in immunocompromised patients. Sixty-four blood samples were analyzed in duplicate for both techniques. Eight-six percent of the samples had concordant qualitative results. The discordant results occurred more frequently in samples with low quantity of positive cells. There were no significant differences with qualitative and quantitative results of the methods.

Evaluation of AIDS-related disability in a general hospital in southern, Brazil
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Autores: Zonta,Marise Bueno; Almeida,Sérgio Monteiro de; Carvalho,Mirian T Matsuno de; Werneck,Lineu César.
The increase in survival rates of patients affected by AIDS is associated with physical disabilities that can compromise their functional independence. We examined the degree and types of disabilities in hospitalized AIDS patients , as well the clinical and immunological parameters associated with disability. The lowered functional status was associated with increased time since AIDS had been diagnosed, with complaints of weakness, and with the involvement of more than one set of systems in the definition of AIDS. The inability to perform daily living activities was associated with higher viral loads (log) c/mL, lower CD4+/mL and CD4+/CD8+ ratios, and with involvement of the central nervous system, in the cause of hospitalization. Both the inability to...

Bilateral peripheral facial palsy secondary to lymphoma in a patient with HIV/AIDS: a case report and literature review
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Autores: Sasaki,Maria das Graças; Leite,Patrícia G. B.; Leite,Andréa G. B.; Almeida,Sérgio Monteiro de.
Neurological complications represent one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with HIV/AIDS. However, peripheral neuropathy comprises only 5% to 20% of the total neurological complications and facial nerve palsy, especially when it is bilateral, is a less common manifestation. Peripheral facial palsy has been considered as a possible neurological complication of the early stage of HIV infection but the number of reported cases in the literature is limited. Histological findings of nervous tissue in peripheral facial palsy at an early stage of HIV infection include a degenerative and not suppurative inflammatory process, but its etiology remains obscure. Peripheral facial palsy in the late stage of HIV infection is...

Laboratorial diagnosis of lymphocytic meningitis
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Autores: Almeida,Sérgio Monteiro de; Nogueira,Meri Bordignon; Raboni,Sonia Mara; Vidal,Luine Rosele.
Meningitis is the main infectious central nervous system (CNS) syndrome. Viruses or bacteria can cause acute meningitis of infectious etiology. The term "Aseptic Meningitis" denotes a clinical syndrome with a predominance of lymphocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), with no common bacterial agents identified in the CSF. Viral meningitis is considered the main cause of lymphocyte meningitis. There are other etiologies of an infectious nature. CSF examination is essential to establish the diagnosis and to identify the etiological agent of lymphocytic meningitis. We examined CSF characteristics and the differential diagnosis of the main types of meningitis.
