| BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most common cause of acute or chronic hepatitis in patients on hemodialysis (HD). The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of positive HCV RNA and investigate injection drug use as an emerging risk factor in patients with chronic renal disease on HD. METHODS: This was a multicenter cross-sectional study with 325 patients with chronic renal disease on HD in the period between August 1, 2005 to August 30, 2006, receiving care at four institutions in the city of Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil. Epidemiological data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire. The following laboratory tests were performed: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), anti-hepatitis C virus antibodies (anti-HCV),... |

| Foram colhidos fragmentos de músculos da carcaça de 74 suínos de abate e de 150 porcas descartadas de granjas de ciclo completo, abatidos em frigorífico no Rio Grande do Sul. Os materiais foram inoculados em meio EMJH (Ellinghausen, MacCullough, Johnson & Harris), incubados a 30ºC e o cultivo foi passado a placas de agar sangue através de membrana de 0,45µm. Foram obtidas 69 amostras de Arcobacter sp, classificadas por PCR como A. butzleri, respectivamente de suínos de abate (21 isolamentos, 29,3%) e matrizes descartadas (48 isolamentos, 32%). |

| Fourty eight isolates of Arcobacter spp were obtained from 37 poultry carcasses, from abattoir, among 80 carcasses examined. Attempts for culturing were made from the skin and muscle, resulting on 25 positive cultures from muscle and 23 from skin. Classification was achieved by phenotypic characterization and PCR and multiplex PCR, resulting 41 samples of Arcobacter butzleri and 07 Arcobacter sp. This is the first report on the occurrence of Arcobacter in animal carcasses in Brazil. |
