Descrever o aumento de casos de malária em Moçambique.
MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal conduzido em 2014, em Moçambique com dados do boletim
epidemiológico semanal nacional. O número de casos registrados no período de 2009 a 2013
foi analisado e um canal endêmico foi criado usando o método de quarti...
Na maioria dos países da África sub-sahariana, onde a meningite bacteriana aguda (MBA) continua a ser uma das principais causas de mortalidade infantil, a vigilância de MBA é baseada principalmente em cultura. Além disso, as amostras de LCR de baixa qualidade e alta frequência de consumo de antibi...
Em Moçambique a malária é considerada como sendo um dos mais importantes problemas de saúde pública, e uma das principais causas de morbilidade e mortalidade, especialmente em áreas remotas com pouco ou nenhum acesso a serviços públicos de saúde. O controlo vectorial da malaria é feito através...

Cytokines and chemokines are key mediators of anti-malarial immunity. We evaluated whether Intermittent Preventive Treatment in infants with Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (IPTi-SP) had an effect on the acquisition of these cellular immune responses in Mozambican children. Multiple cytokines and chemokines we...
Introduction: Trained human resources are fundamental for well-functioning health systems, and the lack of health workers undermines public sector capacity to meet population health needs. While external brain drain from low and middle-income countries is well described, there is little understanding of ...

The HIV/AIDS pandemic is primarily caused by HIV-1. Another virus type, HIV-2, is found mainly in West African countries. We hypothesized that population migration and mobility in Africa may have facilitated the introduction and spreading of HIV-2 in Mozambique. The presence of HIV-2 has important implic...
