Mortality Risk Factors for Coronavirus Infection in Hospitalized Adults in Brazil
Our results illustrate the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil and reinforce that policies and practices to deal with this disease should focus on groups and regions with higher risk, whereas public policies should promote nonpharmacological measures and vaccination in the Brazilian population
Prevention of Hepatitis B among Homeless People
Brazil was one of the first countries in Latin America to introduce free and universal vaccination against hepatitis B, but reaching vulnerable groups is a challenge. This study investigates the immunization situation against hepatitis B and associated factors in 353 homeless individuals from Central Brazil, between August 2014 and June 2015. Although the Brazilian public health provides universal vaccination against hepatitis B, and a low immuni…
Viral hepatitis in female sex workers using the Respondent-Driven Sampling
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus and C virus infections and their genotypes and analyze the risk factors for the markers of exposure to hepatitis B virus in female sex workers in a region of intense sex trade. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study performed with four hundred and two female sex workers in Goiânia, Brazil. Data have been collected using the Respondent-Driven Sampling. The women have been interviewed and…
Prevalence, risk factors and hepatitis B immunization

The aim of this study was to investigate hepatitis B epidemiology in homeless persons lodged in a public shelter in Goiânia, Central Brazil. From August 2014 to June 2015, 353 individuals were interviewed and tested for markers of HBV infection. Overall HBV prev…
