| genomic characterization of wild-type measles viruses that circulated in different states in brazil during the 1997 measles epidemic. | despite the marked reduction in the incidence of measles in brazil, a measles epidemic occurred in this country in 1997. the measles cases observed during this epidemic began to reappear in large numbers in são paulo, and spread to rio de janeiro and other brazilian states. in the present study molecular biology techniques were used for the detection and genomic characterization of measles viruses from clinical samples such as urine and nasopharyngeal secretions collected in the states of rio de ... | 2001 | 11241461 |
| incidence and anatomic localization of oral candidiasis in patients with aids hospitalized in a public hospital in belo horizonte, mg, brazil. | the objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence, anatomic localization and yeast species isolated from each clinical type of oral candidiasis. the clinical samples were obtained from 67 patients with aids with cd4 cell counts below 200 cells/mm(3) and hospitalized in a public hospital (eduardo de menezes hospital) in the city of belo horizonte, mg, brazil. yeasts were isolated using chromagar candida. the results show that 50.7% of these patients had oral candidiasis. the pseudomembran ... | 2008 | 19089255 |
