1. Evaluation clinical and microbiological of oral health conditions in renal transplant recipients of Onofre Lopes University Hospital, Natal RN / Avaliação clínica e microbiológica das condições de saúde oral dos receptores de transplante renal do Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes, Natal RN
Introduction: The chronic immunosuppression promotes the development of changes in the oral cavity of the kidney transplant recipients (KTR), however with the exception of gingival overgrowth, little is known regarding the prevalence of oral lesions in this population. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of clinical and microbiological conditions of the or

2. Colonização por Candida em indivíduos com candidemia / Candida colonization in individuals with candidemia
In the last two decades, Candida spp. have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens in the world and in Brazil. The identification of the source of infection is important in approaching prevention and control strategies. Strategies for the prevention of endogenous candidiasis may focus, to a certain extent, on methods for reducing mucosal colonization, for

3. Recurring Candida albicans esophagitis in a HIV-infected patient undergoing long-Term antiretroviral therapy, and with absent-negligible immunodeficiency
A patient with HIV infection developed the first episode of AIDS-defining opportunism (severe Candida albicans esophagitis) with an underlying CD4+ lymphocyte count of 1,025 cells/µL. After treatment with a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), taken with insufficient compliance and leaving a residual viral load, our patient suffered from two relaps

4. Evaluation of blood stream infections by Candida in three tertiary hospitals in Salvador, Brazil: a case-control study
Invasive infections caused by Candida spp. are an important problem in immunocompromised patients. There is scarce data on the epidemiology of blood stream candidiasis in Salvador, Brazil. This study evaluates the risk factors associated with candidemia, among patients admitted to three tertiary, private hospitals, in Salvador, Brazil. We conducted a case-co

5. Study of Molecular Epidemiology of Candidiasis in Portugal by PCR Fingerprinting of Candida Clinical Isolates
PCR fingerprinting was used to type 177 yeast isolates obtained from two medical institutions. Candida albicans was the predominant species found, followed by C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, C. parapsilosis, C. guilliermondii, and C. krusei, which accounted for over 20% of the strains isolated. This survey represents the first study of molecular epidemiology of

6. Transmission of an Azole-Resistant Isogenic Strain of Candida albicans among Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Family Members with Oropharyngeal Candidiasis
We report transmission of an azole-resistant, isogenic strain of Candida albicans in a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected family of two children with symptomatic oropharyngeal candidiasis and a mother with asymptomatic colonization over a 5-year period. These findings were confirmed by three different molecular epidemiology methods: interrepeat PCR,

7. Epidemiologic study by DNA typing of a Candida albicans outbreak in heroin addicts.
The epidemiology of an outbreak of Candida endophthalmitis in heroin addicts was studied by DNA typing. Although one biotype was prevalent, the 13 isolates of Candida albicans from seven of the patients were placed into six separate groups by DNA type. Thus, the outbreak of candidiasis was not, as had been concluded from biotyping, due to a C. albicans strai

8. Epidemiology of Visceral Mycoses: Analysis of Data in Annual of the Pathological Autopsy Cases in Japan
The data on visceral mycoses that had been reported in the Annual of the Pathological Autopsy Cases in Japan from 1969 to 1994 by the Japanese Society of Pathology were analyzed epidemiologically. The frequency of visceral mycoses among the annual total number of pathological autopsy cases increased noticeably from 1.60% in 1969 to a peak of 4.66% in 1990. A

9. Laboratory diagnosis of invasive candidiasis.
Severe infections due to Candida species have become more frequent during the past two decades because of the increasing numbers of immunosuppressed patients being treated in our hospitals. Distinguishing colonization from invasive disease requires knowledge of the pathogenetic mechanisms leading to invasion. To assist the clinician in therapeutic decisions,

10. Molecular typing of Candida albicans in oral candidiasis: karyotype epidemiology with human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive patients in comparison with that with healthy carriers.
Candida albicans organisms isolated from the oral cavities of healthy carriers (26 individuals) and compromised hosts (40 human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]-seropositive patients, all showing symptomatic oral candidiasis) were compared by resolving chromosome-sized DNA molecules into electrophoretic karyotypes. Seven- to 10-band electrophoretic patterns were

11. Prevalence of Molecular Mechanisms of Resistance to Azole Antifungal Agents in Candida albicans Strains Displaying High-Level Fluconazole Resistance Isolated from Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patients
Molecular mechanisms of azole resistance in Candida albicans, including alterations in the target enzyme and increased efflux of drug, have been described, but the epidemiology of the resistance mechanisms has not been established. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms of resistance to azoles in C. albicans strains displaying high-level fluconazole r
