A hipereosinofilia é considerada um factor etiológico na patogénese da fibrose endomiocárdica, uma cardiomiopatia de causa desconhecida com elevada prevalência em Inharrime. Como parte dum estudo de estabelecimento de uma coorte para estudo de incidência de fibrose endomiocárdica nesse distrito, f...

Impact of age of first exposure to Plasmodium falciparum on antibody responses to malaria in children: a randomized, controlled trial in Mozambique

Malar. j. (Online); 13 (121), 2014
Background: The impact of the age of first Plasmodium falciparum infection on the rate of acquisition of immunity to malaria and on the immune correlates of protection has proven difficult to elucidate. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial using monthly chemoprophylaxis with sulphadoxine-...

Severity of anaemia is associated with bone marrow haemozoin in children exposed to Plasmodium falciparum

Br. j. haematol; 164 (6), 2014
There are no large-scale ex vivo studies addressing the contribution of Plasmodium falciparum in the bone marrow to anaemia. The presence of malaria parasites and haemozoin were studied in bone marrows from 290 anaemic children attending a rural hospital in Mozambique. eripheral blood infections were det...

Increased Severity and Mortality in Adults Co-Infected with Malaria and HIV in Maputo, Mozambique: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study

PLos ONE; 9 (2), 2014
Background: Co-infection with falciparum malaria and HIV-1 increases the severity and mortality of both infections in unstable malaria-transmission areas. In contrast, in stable transmission areas, HIV co-infection increases the severity of both infections but has not been found to influence malaria mort...

Prevalence, incidence and determinants of herpes simplex virus type 2 infection among HIV-seronegative women at high-risk of HIV infection: a prospective study in Beira, Mozambique

PLos ONE; 9 (2), 2014
To estimate the prevalence, incidence and determinants of herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) infection, and associations between HSV-2 and incident HIV infection, among women at higher risk for HIV infection in Beira, Mozambique. Methods: Between 2009 and 2012, 411 women aged 18-35 years at higher risk of HI...

Molecular evidence for the localization of Plasmodium falciparum immature gametocytes in bone marrow

Blood; 123 (7), 2014
Plasmodium falciparum immature gametocytes are not observed in peripheral blood. However, gametocyte stages in organs such as bone marrow have never been assessed by molecular techniques, which are more sensitive than optical microscopy. We quantified P falciparum sexual stages in bone marrow (n = 174) a...
