Seroprevalence of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV infection among patients undergoing haemodialysis in Buenos Aires, Argentina
(Society for General Microbiology, 2020-11)
Introduction. Blood-borne infections are a major cause of harm in individuals on haemodialysis (HD). In particular, knowledge about hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status in HD ...
Genetic susceptibility to life-threatening respiratory syncytial virus infection in previously healthy infants
(Lippincott Williams, 2020-07)
Background: Genetic background may be an important host determinant of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease severity, but full characterization of susceptibility genes remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the ...
Herpes simplex virus and human papillomavirus infection in cervical disease in Argentine women
(Lippincott Williams, 2006-01)
The aim of the present study was to determine that prevalence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and 2 in cervical samples from Argentine women and to assess the role of HSV-2 in cervical cancer. A sample of 79 normal ...
Meta-analysis of the influence of TM6SF2 E167K variant on Plasma Concentration of Aminotransferases across different Populations and Diverse Liver Phenotypes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-06)
A nonsynonymous E167K (rs58542926 C/T) variant in TM6SF2 gene was recently associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We explored the association between E167K and plasma concentrations of alanine (ALT) and ...
In vivo drug resistance mutation dynamics from the early to chronic stage of infection in antiretroviral-therapy-naïve HIV-infected men who have sex with men
(Springer Wien, 2020-09-25)
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) primary drug resistance mutations (DRMs) influence the long-term therapeutic effects of antiretroviral treatment (ART). Drug-resistance genotyping based on polymerase gene sequences ...
Drug resistance mutations in HIV pol sequences from Argentinean patients under antiretroviral treatment: subtype, gender and age issues
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2011-12)
We studied drug resistance mutations (DRMs) in 2623 pol sequences. Out of 94,828 amino acid substitutions that were detected, 8749 corresponded to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), 3765 to nonnucleoside ...
Hepatitis E Virus Infection: Is It Really a Problem in Latin America?
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2020-09)
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a positive-strand RNA virus with a 7.2-kb genome (species Orthohepevirus A, genus Orthohepevirus, family Hepeviridae) that causes 20 million infections every year worldwide, leading to an estimated ...
An analysis of the genomic variability of the phytopathogenic mollicute Spiroplasma kunkelii
(American Phytopathological Society, 2013-02)
Corn stunt disease has become a factor limiting maize production in some areas of the Americas in recent years. Although resistant maize genotypes have been developed in the past, this resistance has been unstable over ...
GB virus C quasispecies detected in plasma and lymphocyte subsets in a natural human infection
(Society for General Microbiology, 2010-07)
Genomic heterogeneity and quasispecies composition of GB virus C (GBV-C) within plasma and lymphocyte subsets in a naturally infected blood donor were investigated. For this purpose, fragments from the 5′ untranslated ...
First evidence of enterovirus A71 and echovirus 30 in Uruguay and genetic relationship with strains circulating in the South American region
(Public Library of Science, 2021-08)
Human enteroviruses (EVs) comprise more than 100 types of coxsackievirus, echovirus, poliovirus and numbered enteroviruses, which are mainly transmitted by the faecal-oral route leading to diverse diseases such as aseptic ...
