| [fungemia in hospitals of the city of buenos aires, argentina.] | background: the incidence of fungi like pathogens in hospitals varies by regions. objectives: our goals were not only to record the incidence and etiology of fungaemia, but also the change during the 4 years analysed, to determine the time of detection in automated blood culture and by lysis-centrifugation, and finally to assess the gender, age and underlying disease of the patients with fungaemia. methods: an observational multicentre study of fungaemia was conducted in hospitals in the mycolog ... | 2011 | 22120499 |
| [first isolation of histoplasma capsulatum from the urban bat eumops bonariensis]. | we report the first isolation of histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum from a male bat eumops bonariensis captured in buenos aires city in 2003. the pathogen was recovered from spleen and liver specimens, and was identified by its phenotypic characteristics. pcr with primers 1283, (gtg)5, (gaca)4 and m13 was used to compare both bat isolates with 17 human isolates, 12 from patients residing in buenos aires city, and 5 from other countries of the americas. the profiles obtained with the four pri ... | 2005 | 15991479 |
| [etiological factors of fungemia in the hospital san martín in la plata]. | to determine the distribution of etiologic agents of fungemia in san martin hospital, la plata, we retrospectively studied 81 consecutive episodes of fungemia, diagnosed in 46 adults and 35 preterm newborn (pnb) hospitalized from november 1998 to august 2001. the diagnosis was achieved by blood culture obtained by venipuncture and by catheter aspiration and was processed using bactalert and lysis-centrifugation technique. isolated yeasts were identified employing api 32c system and additional te ... | 2003 | 12920994 |
| [molecular characterization of autochthonous clinical isolates of histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum using rapd-pcr]. | the aim of our work was to determine the genotypic relatedness among h. capsulatum isolates from argentinian patients with or without aids and isolates from other sources and geographic origins. we analyzed band patterns of 16 isolates obtained by rapd-pcr, 11 argentinian clinical isolates (8 from patients with aids and 3 from patients without aids), 2 strains from the cdc, 2 isolates from mexico and one isolate from uruguay. with the band patterns obtained, we built a dendrogram, which showed 3 ... | 2001 | 11594007 |
