15. Leishmania: origin, evolution and future since the Precambrian.

Abstract

This brief review discusses the history of leishmaniasis, considering its origin from the Paleoartic, Neoartic or Neotropic. We reassess some of the theories of the likely origin of this protozoan since the beginning of life on Earth, passing through the Mesozoic and continuing to the appearance of humans. The relationship between this parasite or its ancestors, possible vectors and hosts with regard to ecological modifications is discussed. Recent molecular techniques have helped to elucidate some of the evolutionary questions regarding Leishmania, but have also brought doubts about the origin and evolution of this human parasite. PCR has been used for studies in the new discipline of paleoparasitology, helping to elucidate some of the remaining evolutionary questions. Understanding of this global condition is fundamental in determining the best approach to use against the parasite, specifically for the development of an efficient vaccine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

32. Cytomegalovirus Mononucleosis in Children and Adults: Differences in Clinical Presentation

Author

Pannuti, Claudio S., Boas, Lucy S. Vilas, Angelo, Maria J. O., Neto, Vicente Amato, Levi, Guido C., De Mendonça, Joo S., and De Godoy, Cid V. F.

Abstract

In 2 previously healthy groups of 14 children and 17 adults with cytomegalovirus mononucleosis, significant clinical differences were observed. Cervical lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly and lymphocytosis (>5 000μl) were more common in children and protracted fever more common in adults. Exudative tonsillitis indistinguishable from infectious mononucleosis was sometimes seen in children but never in adults.

Abstract

The article discusses the evaluation of an enzyme immunoassay for the diagnosis of Chagas' disease. A new technique of Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay called Anti-Chagas Symbiosys enzyme immunoassay is discussed. The technique uses microplates with wells coated with recombinant Trypanosoma cruzi antigen which forms a complex with the antibodies presented in the samples during incubation.

Abstract

Abstract: Leishmaniasis causes significant morbidity and mortality and thus constitutes a serious public health problem. Even though it has long been endemic in developing countries, in recent years the economic globalization and the increased volume of international travel have extended its prevalence in developed countries. In addition, native populations may be exposed to the infection through blood transfusion and the use of blood products produced from infected asymptomatic individuals. Mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) is a chronic form of this infection, which attacks the mucosa. In most cases this form of leishmaniasis results from the metastatic spread of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis from cutaneous lesions. It is a healthcare issue because of its wide demographic distribution, its association with significant morbidity levels, and because of the pressing concern that tourists who travel to endemic areas might present the disease even years later. The treatment currently available for ML is based on drugs such as pentavalent antimony-containing compounds, amphotericin B deoxycholate and pentamidine and often guarantees a satisfactory clinical response. Nevertheless, it also frequently provokes serious side effects. This review offers a critical analysis of the drugs now available for the treatment of ML as also of the future prospects for the treatment of the disease. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

47. [Intestinal parasitosis in Indians of the Mapuera community (Oriximiná, State of Pará, Brazil): high prevalence of Blastocystis hominis and finding of Cryptosporidium sp and Cyclospora cayetanensis].

Abstract

Occurrences of intestinal parasitosis in Indians of the Mapuera community (Oriximiná, State of Pará, Brazil) were evaluated. Within the context of group assessment, this study makes a contribution towards adequate knowledge of this subject, which is significant from a medical-sanitary point of view. Parasitological examination of feces from 83 individuals, performed using four different methods, could be considered to have reasonable amplitude for establishing diagnoses. Protozoan cysts and helminth eggs of many types were found, even with significant percentages. The frequent presence of Blastocystis hominis (57.8%), along with findings of Cryptosporidium sp (3.6%) and Cyclospora cayetanensis (10.8%), deserved highlighting with specific comments. The findings show that these Indians live in an environment in which poor hygiene conditions prevail. In particular, these facilitate the dissemination of protozoa and helminths through contact with the soil or through intake of contaminated water and food.
