Women’s knowledge, attitudes and practices related to mother-to-child transmission of HTLV-1 in Peru
Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) can be transmitted from mother to child through breastfeeding and increases the risk of mortality and morbidity from inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic diseases. Short-duration breastfeeding or exclusive formula feeding reduces transmission. In Peru, where breastfeeding is common and populations affected by HTLV-1 lack access to safe water and sewage, which hinders control, understanding women’…
Optimizing healthcare for blood donors at risk of transfusion-transmissible infections
In the Peruvian Amazon, a significant proportion of replacement blood donors test reactive for HIV, HTLV-1/2, and other transfusion-transmissible infections but often receive no subsequent care. Optimizing healthcare for these individuals can mitigate adverse outcomes by enabling early diagnosis and management. Effective coordination between Blood Bank and Infectious Diseases services is essential to provide comprehensive care. To address this ch…
Association between HTLV-1/2 infection and Covid-19 severity in a migrant Shipibo-Konibo population in Lima, Peru
Objectives The migrant community of the Shipibo-Konibo indigenous people in Lima, Peru were extremely vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/2) is endemic in this population causing immunosuppression. The aim of the study was to describe the association between HTLV-1/2 infection and the clinical severity of COVID-19. Methods This was a cross-sectional descriptive…
Specimen sharing for epidemic preparedness
We present a framework for a federated, virtual biorepository system (VBS) with locally collected and managed specimens, as a ‘global public good’ model based on principles of equitable access and benefit sharing. The VBS is intended to facilitate timely access to biological specimens and associated data for outbreak-prone infectious diseases to accelerate the development and evaluation of diagnostics, assess vaccine efficacy, and to support surv…
HTLV-1 Is Also a Sexually Transmitted Infection
HTLV-1 is a retrovirus which causes diverse diseases in 10% of its infected population, significantly worsening their quality of life and mortality rate. Even though it is globally distributed and is endemic in many countries (including Peru), it is still highly neglected. It spreads through vertical, sexual and parenteral transmission. As no effective treatment against this virus exist, prevention is required to contain it. The World Health Orga…
Sarcoma de Kaposi en personas que viven con VIH-Sida en un hospital público de referencia en Perú
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most frequent cancer in people living with HIV. Research on this condition is scarce in the region, therefore, this article aimed to describe the demographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients with HIV who developed KS at the Cayetano Heredia Hospital between 2000 and 2018. A total of 129 KS cases were identified, with a median age of 33 years, predominantly males with 92% (119/129), and mostly men …

This study was carried out to describe and compare the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of HIV patients who developed some cancer. We identified 276 cancer cases diagnosed at Hospital Cayetano Heredia between 2000 and 2018. 80,8% (223/276) had AIDS-defining-cancers (ADCs), being Kaposi's Sarcoma the most frequent type; meanwhile, among non-AIDS-defining-cancers (NADCs), the most frequent was Hodgkin lymphoma. The median age …
Respuestas rápidas a la pandemia de Covid-19 a través de la ciencia y la colaboración global
COVID-19 represents a global crisis. Rapidly conducting a clinical trial with the rigor necessary to obtain reliable results requires the collaboration of various participants involved in the development, evaluation and authorization of clinical trials (CT) such as the trial sponsor, researchers, regulatory authority and the ethics committee (EC). Carrying out these studies is not only scientifically appropriate, but an ethical and moral obligati…
Vigilancia, prevención y control del virus de la influenza en Perú
The importance of surveilling the circulation of the influenza virus and timely vaccination of different populations in Peru was analyzed in three sessions by a group of clinical experts from different specialties. The Peruvian national influenza surveillance system has many selected establishments that have become currently ineffective in terms of a timely report. Most of the samples come from Lima. The viral distribution is inadequately analyze…
El enfoque de Una "Salud" en Perú

Formación de investigadores en el contexto de proyectos colaborativos
La investigación constituye un elemento fundamental de desarrollo humano y social. Bajo esta perspectiva, supone desafíos y oportunidades particulares para los llamados países “en vías de desarrollo”. Una aproximación a tales desafíos y oportunidades se desprende del análisis de dos actividades interrelacionadas: la formación de nuevos investigadores y el desarrollo de investigación con instituciones o investigadores externos a la propia instituc…
Formación de investigadores en el contexto de proyectos colaborativos
Research is a main element for human and social development. Under this point of view, it involves particular challenges and opportunities for the so-called "developing countries". An approach for those challenges and opportunities comes from the analysis of two interrelated activities; the training of new researchers and the research development with institutions or researchers which are external to the institution ("collaborative research"). Bo…
Access to health care in relation to socioeconomic status in the Amazonian area of Peru
The poorest seek less care from health professionals for non-severe illnesses as well as for severe illnesses; and treatment with antibiotics is lacking for illnesses where it would be indicated. Caregivers frequently paid for health services as well as antibiotics, even though all children in the study qualified for free health care and medicines. The implementation of the Seguro Integral de Salud health insurance must be improved
