[mycobacteriosis during 1980-1990 in a madrid hospital].	to assess the incidence and features of environmental mycobacteria that can produce disease over a ten years period (1980-1990) in an university hospital from madrid (spain).	1992	1292603
[variation of the incidence and antibiotic sensitivity of neisseria gonorrhoeae in a 7-year period].	the aim of this study was to determine the incidence and antibiotic sensitivity of neisseria gonorrhoeae versus penicillin, tetracycline, cefoxitin, ceftriaxone and spectinomycin from 1988 to 1994 in the province of soria (spain).	1996	8991440
[cryptococcosis not associated with aids. clinical study of seven patients].	the aim of the present was to study the clinical characteristics, the diagnostic methods, response to treatment and the evolution of cryptococcosis not associated with aids.	1999	10439536
a prospective study of the paradoxical relationship between impulsivity and lethality of suicide attempts.	biological studies suggest that lower serotonergic activity is associated with both greater suicide lethality and impulsive personality traits. these results may lead to the conclusion that impulsivity in the attempt should be associated with greater lethality. however, klerman's review of epidemiologic suicide studies suggests an inverse relationship between impulsivity and lethality. this seemingly paradoxical relationship between impulsivity and lethality has not been explored in large repres ...	2001	11488369
[haemophilus spp. antimicrobial susceptibility in health area 6 in madrid, spain (2000-2004)].	the aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of 1370 haemophilus spp. (1051 h. influenzae and 319 h. parainfluenzae) isolated during a 4-year period (july 2000 to june 2004) and to compare the results with other nationwide spanish surveillance studies. the rate of isolation of h. parainfluenzae was significantly higher in clinical samples from the genitourinary tract (p <0.00001) and skin and soft tissues (p <0.00001), whereas h. influenzae was significantly more frequent ...	2005	16130040
phylogenetic analysis of rubella virus strains from an outbreak in madrid, spain, from 2004 to 2005.	an outbreak of rubella affected 460 individuals in 2004 and 2005 in the community of madrid, spain. most of the patients were nonvaccinated latin american immigrants or spanish males. this study presents the first data on rubella virus genotypes in spain. forty selected clinical samples (2 urine, 5 serum, 3 blood, 2 saliva, and 28 pharyngeal exudate samples) from 40 cases were collected. the 739-nucleotide sequence recommended by the world health organization obtained from viral rna in these sam ...	2009	19020066
changes in drug resistance patterns following the introduction of hiv type 1 non-b subtypes in spain.	natural genetic variability at the pol gene may account for differences in drug susceptibility and selection of resistance patterns across hiv-1 clades. spread of non-b subtypes along with changes in antiretroviral drug use may have modified drug resistance patterns in recent years. all hiv-1 clinical samples sent to a reference laboratory located in madrid for drug resistance testing since january 2000 were analyzed. the pol gene was sequenced and hiv-1 subtypes were assigned using the stanford ...	2009	19842792
ten years of global evolution of the human respiratory syncytial virus ba genotype with a 60-nucleotide duplication in the g protein gene.	the emergence of natural isolates of human respiratory syncytial virus group b (hrsv-b) with a 60-nucleotide (nt) duplication in the g protein gene in buenos aires, argentina, in 1999 (a. trento et al., j. gen. virol. 84:3115-3120, 2003) and their dissemination worldwide allowed us to use the duplicated segment as a natural tag to examine in detail the evolution of hrsv during propagation in its natural host. viruses with the duplicated segment were all clustered in a new genotype, named ba (a. ...	2010	20504933
