Moçambique vive um ambiente de epidemia do HIV severa com 13,2% de adultos vivendo com o HIV (IMASIDA, 2015). As duas categorias populacionais que mais contribuem para o número de novos casos de HIV no país são as de pessoas em relações heterossexuais estáveis e as pessoas com múltiplas parcerias...
In-hospital logistic management barriers (LMB) are considered to be important risk factors for delays
in TB diagnosis and treatment initiation (TB-dt), which perpetuates TB transmission and the development of TB
morbidity and mortality. We assessed the contribution of hospital auxiliary workers (HAWs) an...

We evaluate the performance of the TBcID assay in a panel of 100 acid-fast bacilli cultures. Sixty-four isolates were TBcID positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), whereas 36 gave negative results. These included 28 nontuberculous mycobacteria, one nonmycobacterial isolate, one M. tubercu...

Background: Prozone means false-negative or false-low results in antigen-antibody reactions, due to an excess of either antigen or antibody. The present study prospectively assessed its frequency for malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and Plasmodium falciparum samples in an endemic field setting.
