Development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in Patients Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is considered a public health problem and its prevalence increases over
the years, in Brazil. Currently, 37 million people are living with HIV and 4 million of these patients infected with the virus may have
COPD. However, many of these cases may be underreported. In Brazil, these two clinical situations (HIV infection and COPD) have
a high incidence, which causes a great expense for the public health, increased morbidity and mortality of these patients. We observed
that, in the national literature, there is a gap on the association between these two scenarios.
Proposed Perioperative Guidelines for Selective Infectious Diseases in the Pediatric Population
It is essential for practitioners to recognize the pathophysiology of commonly presenting infectious diseases and their mode of
transmission. This allows healthcare workers to provide a safe perioperative experience for the patient as well as engage in appropriate
infection control practices. There are a number of noteworthy pediatric respiratory infections, such as the novel coronavirus, known
as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and pulmonary tuberculosis.
Field Evaluation and Use of a Non Commercial Peptide Enzyme Immunoassay for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Serotyping in Abidjan (Ivory Coast)
In West Africa, where Human Immunodeficiency Viruses 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) co-circulate, serological assays allowing the reliable serotyping of HIV infection are needed.
Sjögren’s Syndrome - Oral Changes, Advanced Diagnosis, and Management - A Case Report

Intramural Abscesses: A Sequela of Infective Endocarditis in a Patient with HIV
Infective Endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with in-hospital mortality having been reported as ranging from 19-26%. Commonly documented complications of IE include valvular and chordae destruction and resultant regurgitations, embolic events, peri-valvular abscesses, fistulae, and congestive heart failure.
The Ongoing Battle for Syringe Exchange
Syringe exchange programs (SEPs) have been shown to be effective in reduction of infectious disease rates in several studies over the years.
