Multidimensional effects of HTLV-1 on well-being
INTRODUCTION: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) is associated with significant health challenges, including a high prevalence of depression and a reduced quality of life (QoL). We aimed to investigate associations between HTLV-1 infection status (uninfected, asymptomatic, or HAM/TSP), depression, and different QoL domains across the QoL. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 171 participants: 26 uninfected controls, 91 HTLV-1-infe…
Completeness of tuberculosis reporting forms for disease control in individuals with HIV/Aids in priority cities of Bahia state
The control of HIV / Tuberculosis (TB) co -infection remains a challenge for public health. Notification is mandatory for both diseases and the National Case Registry Database (Sinan) is responsible for the collection and processing of individual forms of reporting and monitoring. The adequate fulfillment of these fields chips (completeness) is essential to follow the dynamics of the disease and set priorities for intervention. The aim of this st…
Impact of depression on quality of life in people living with human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) in Salvador, Brazil
Sex-Specific Effect of the Thermolabile C677T Mutation in the Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene on Angiographically Assessed Coronary Artery Disease in Brazilians
Hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with increased coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in the metabolism of homocysteine and presents a common mutation (C677T) that leads to a thermolabile enzyme, mild hyperhomocysteinemia, and increased CAD risk. The C677T MTHFR mutation was studied in 772 subjects (480 Caucasian Brazilians and 292 African Brazilians) who underwent coronary angiography a…
HIV-1 seroprevalence in the general population of Salvador, Bahia State, Northeast Brazil
To estimate HIV-1 seroprevalence in the general population of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of 3,437 residents from 1998 to 2000. Subjects were drawn from 30 sentinel areas representing a wide range of living conditions. Plasma samples were screened for HIV-1 antibodies by ELISA and confirmed by immunofluorescent assay. Subtype determination by HMA was performed after proviral DNA amplification. Phylogenetic analy…
HTLV in the Americas
The first description of the human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was made in 1980, followed closely by the discovery of HTLV-2, in 1982. Since then, the main characteristics of these viruses, commonly referred to as HTLV-1/2, have been thoroughly studied. Central and South America and the Caribbean are areas of high prevalence of HTLV-1 and HTVL-2 and have clusters of infected people. The major modes of transmission have been through sexua…
