Weight gain in patients starting Dolutegravir-based ART according to baseline CD4 count after 48 weeks of follow up
CONCLUSIONS: Weight gain in the present study indicates a "return to health" phenomenon. Excessive weight gain was more frequent in women.PMID:37788801 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjid.2023.102807 (Source: Braz J Infect Dis)

Real-time PCR in the diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis
Braz J Infect Dis. 2023 Sep 21;27(5):102804. doi: 10.1016/j.bjid.2023.102804. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis presents limitations and therefore new options are necessary. The analysis of amniotic fluid by real-time PCR has already proved effective for confirmation of fetal infection. However, its performance in other biological samples is not clear yet. The aim of this study is to better understand the role of real-time PCR in the blood of the mother and newborn as well as in the amniotic fluid and placenta in the diagnosis of congenital toxoplasmosis. This is a descriptive cohort s...

Significance of Aspergillus spp. isolation in defining cases of COVID-19 Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis - CAPA
In this study, Aspergillus spp. isolation in respiratory specimens from patients with COVID-19 was evaluated for identifying cases of CAPA. In 2020‒2021, 17 Aspergillus spp. were isolated from 15 COVID-19 patients admitted to a university hospital in Brazil. Patient records were retrospectively reviewed to obtain clinical-epidemiological data and other markers of Aspergillus spp. infection and then compared with the ECMM/ISHAM criteria for defining CAPA. Probable CAPA was defined in 5/10 patients, who had Aspergillus spp. isolated from Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) or a positive galactomannan blood test. Additionally, ant...
