The genus Malassezia enclose lipophylic and lipid-dependent yeast that after many changes in its taxonomic classification, comprises in the atuality 13 species, including M. pachydermatis, M. furfur, M. sympodialis, M. globosa, M. obtusa, M. restricta, M. slooffiae, M. dermatis, M. japonica, M. yamatoensis, M. nana, M. equine, and M. caprae. These yeasts are associated to several diseases including, such as pityriasis versicolor, or dermatoses, seborrheic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis, among others. The general aim of this study was to contribute to better knowledgement about the phenotypical identification, storage in fungal collection and in vitro antifungal susceptibility of Malassezia spp. The phenotiping was based on macro and micromorphologics characteristics, as well as biochemistry and nutritional analisys. Twenteen strains suffers storage at -80ºC in vegetables oils. The microdilution technique was accomplished in RPMI 1640 broth, supplemented with ox bile, Tween 20 and glycerol, being complemented with subculture on Dixon agar, for determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal fungicidal concentration (CFM). The drugs tested were ketoconazole (KET), itraconazole (ITR), fluconazole (FLC), amphotericin B (AMB) and caspofungine (CAS). With the conventional phenotypical analysis of the strains (n=38), could suggest the presence of the M. furfur/ M. dermatis (n=17), M. sympodialis (n=8), M. slooffiae (n=5) and M. pachydermatis (n=8). The stored accomplished in vegetable oils at -80ºC showed meaningful rate of recorver, but physiologic characteristics was modified, such as _-glicosidase activity and Chremophor EL assimilation. Most of the strains (84,21%) was sensitive for KET and ITR, obtaining values of MIC 0.03μg/mL. For FLC the MIC range was 4 to 64μg/mL, against VOR the strains of M. pachydermatis obtained MIC range <0,03 a 2μg/mL, therefore the lipid-dependents strains of Malassezia spp. obtained dispersive results from <0.03 to >16μg/mL. Against ANB, the MIC range was 1 to >16μg/mL. It was not possible determinate the MIC and MFC values for caspofungine. The extracts from avocado seeds were active against strains of M. pachydermatis.

The human metapneumovírus (hMPV) is a newly discovered virus that has been considered as one of the most common agents of acute respiratory infections (ARI) virus in childhood. The objectives of this study were: 1) to observe the frequency of infections caused by hMPV among children attending Hospital Infantil Albert Sabin, a major pediatric hospital in Ceará, from January 2006 to December 2007; 2) to describe aspects of seasonality of these infections relating them to the occurrence of rain and the circulation of other respiratory viruses, 3) to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients infected by hMPV, compared with positive and negative patients for other viruses; 4) to evaluate the IFI assay as a method of diagnosis for the detection of hMPV. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected from children with symptoms of ARI and submitted to indirect immunofluorescence assays for the detection of the following respiratory viruses: hMPV, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A and B, adenovirus and parainfluenza 1, 2 and 3. During the 24 months of study, samples were collected from 1276 and respiratory viruses were demonstrated in 380 (29.78%) samples. The hMPV was the second most frequently detected respiratory viruses representing a total of 8.69% of all samples and 29% among the samples positive for the virus analyzed. It was not observed for hMPV a pattern of seasonality or correlation with the rainy season. Most patients positive for hMPV were attended in the emergence (89.2%). The mean age of patients infected by hMPV was 27 months, wich is significantly older than that for VSR (15 months), adenovirus (14 months) and parainfluenza virus 3 (18 months). Among patients infected by hMPV, 53.2% had a diagnosis of infections of the upper airways and 46.7% had a diagnosis of infections of the lower airways. The hMPV infections showed the same spectrum of infections caused by other viruses analyzed. The hMPV associated to more cases of pneumonia that led to the hospitalization of children infected than other viruses analyzed. More than half of these patients used the aerosol / salbutamol as conduct therapy (68.5%). The IFI assay proved to be quite effective as a method of diagnosis for the detection of hMPV in this study

The contemporary world of work is permeated by a backdrop of profound transformations, exemplified by the change in labor relations, increasingly dynamic and competitive, labor market, which spread into the outsourcing, subcontracting, and modes of organization and production, predominantly centered in the capital. Among the coping strategies of the models of precarious employment and alternative income generation, draws attention to the proliferation of solidarity organizations, which are based on values very different from those most widely used in today\'s society, such as cooperation, mutual aid, democratic decision-making. This specificity motivated this research, which aimed to understand the general meanings attributed to work by members of enterprises based on the principles of Solidarity Economy. The research was conducted from the standpoint of the workers associated themselves and had the theoretical ideas presented by authors such as Antunes (2000), Castel (2005), Singer (2002) and Vygotsky (2001). The methodology for achieving goals followed the referential quality and data collection was conducted through individual interviews. The discursive material collected, in turn, was analyzed based on Content Analysis proposed by Bardin (1977). The data analyzed showed that inserting these projects brings a positive impact on the meanings attributed to work, while remaining references to the notion of working with a formal contract as a guarantee of rights and labor protections.

Otitis results from auricular inflammation and represents 8-15% of all cases received in the veterinarian practices. This study was done to outline and compare the isolation profile in external and middle ears from dogs with otitis. Between August/2003 and March/2004, 64 dogs with both otitis externa and media and 50 dogs with bilateral otitis externa were studied. Fifty dogs with healthy ears were used as control group. The collection was done ate the Zoonosis Control Center in Fortaleza-CE and the microbiological analysis at the Microbiological Center - Department of Pathology and Legal Medicine-UFC. Samples from the external ears were collected with sterile swabs and the ones from the middle ears by osteotomy of the tympanic bulla. The microrganisms were cultured and identified according to methods previously described and susceptibility tested by agar diffusion method (NCCLS). In otitic dogs the most frequent alterations were: lesions of the pinna (72%), local pain (12%) and alteration of the pinna position (12%). Sixty-two per cent of the dogs showed entire tympanic membrane with some structural alteration. Microbiogical growth was seen in 48% of the samples fromdogss with otitis media, and the most frequent isolates were: Estafilococos positive-coagulase (62.5%), non-fermentative Gram-negative (10%), Enterobacteriaceae (5%) and Candida albicans (5%). It was observed that there was an increased number and variety of species isolated in external ears comparaed to middle ears. In samples from external ears, the following predominated: Bacillus sp. (27.1%), M. pachydermatis (23.4%) e S. intermedius (21.8%). The most frequent species isolated in dogs with bilateral otitis externa were: Bacillus sp. (27.9% e 31%), M. pachydermatis (25.9% e 24%), S. intermedius (23.8% e 24.6%) e Enterobactérias (6% e 6.1%). There was a significative difference (p<0.0001) in the way the isolates were associated, which showed the individuality from each ear in bilateral otitis externa. In this study, no anaerobic microrganisms were isolated. S. intermedius strains (n=83) showed intermediate resistance to most of the cntimicrobials tested and high resistance to penicillin (36.1%), ampicillin (27.7%), tetracyclin (27.7%), erythromycin (14.5%) and clindamycin (12.0%). These results describe tha variety of bacterial and fungal isolates associated with canine otitis and reveal the need to adopt systematic procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of dogs with otitis.

As citocinas desempenham um papel importante na resposta imune do hospedeiro contra o M. leprae. Polimorfismos de genes de citocinas têm sido implicados como um fator do hospedeiro influenciando a susceptibilidade para doenças infecciosas. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a relação entre a hanseníase e os polimorfismos dos genes TNFα (fator de necrose tumoral-α) -308 G→A; IFNγ (interferon-γ) +874 T→A; IL-6 (interleucina-6) -174 G→C; IL-10 -1082 A→T, -819 C→T, -592 A→C e TGFβ (fator de crescmento tumoral-β) códon 10 e códon 25. O estudo foi realizado com moradores do município de Sobral com 15 anos ou mais, no Estado do Ceará, durante o período de março de 2006 a julho de 2008. Os indivíduos foram divididos em três grupos. O grupo caso índice foi composto por 46 indivíduos com hanseníase. Controles internos foram 110 contactantes que residiam no domicílio do caso índice e os controles externos foram 83 indivíduos que não residiam no mesmo domicílio do caso índice. Desses indivíduos foram coletados 3ml para extração de DNA através do “Genomic Prep Blood DNA Isolation Kit” (GE Healthcare) e para tipificação dos polimorfismos dos genes das citocinas através do “kit” da “One-Lambda” (Canoga Park, CA, EUA). Também forma coletados 4,9ml de sangue para detecção de anticorpos IgM para PGL-I utilizando um teste ELISA. Os dados epidemiológicos e clínicos foram obtidos a partir de um questionário aplicado à todos participantes, padronizado para o projeto “Epidemiologia da hanseníase no Ceará: aprofundamento dos estudos imuno-epidemiológicos”, ao qual esse estudo está vinculado. Assim, não foram observadas associações significantes entre os polimorfismos dos genes das citocinas estudados e a susceptibilidade à hanseníase. Em relação ao gene IL-10, os indivíduos com o genótipo GCC/GCC apresentaram uma tendência a desenvolver a hanseníase mais precocemente. Em relação aos SNPs do gene IFNγ e TGFβ encontramos uma associação do genótipo T/T do IFNγ e do genótipo T/T G/G do TGFβ com uma predisposição à doença em indivíduos vacinados, podendo ser que indivíduos com esses genótipo não sejam beneficiados com a vacina. Em relação aos SNPs do gene IL-6 do grupo de controles internos foi observada uma associação entre um considerável aumento do genótipo C/C e a positividade para o anti-PGL-I. Dessa forma, o estudo do polimorfismo dos genes das citocinas traz um melhor esclarecimento da relação entre a genética do hospedeiro e a hanseníase, complementando estudos sobre a sua transmissão e fatores intra e extra-familiares em suas características imunológicas.

Leprosy, which is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, is an illness of ample clinical and immunopathological spectrum. Its clinical manifestations are correlated with distinct immunologic form, varying from a vigorous immune response mediated by cells to M. leprae, with type 1 standard in the tuberculóide polar region, to an absence of specific cellular response to antigens of M. leprae in the lepromatous polar region, with predominance of type 2 response and exacerbations of humoral response. The capacity of whole M. leprae antigen to stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) in the IFN-y production was measured in leprosy patients and their household’s contacts, in the city of Sobral, state of Ceará. A total of 30 leprosy patients were used for the study, before start chemotherapy. The paucibacilary leprosy patient group consisted of eight polar indeterminate, ten polar tuberculóide, two borderline tuberculóide, and the multibacilary leprosy patient group consisted of ten lepromatous leprosy and two borderline lepromatous leprosy. The household contacts group consisted of sixty healthy individuals, consanguineous and non consanguineous. The whole M. leprae antigen stimulated IFN-y production in the PBMC of seven borderline tuberculóide/tuberculóide (DT/TT), three indeterminate form, two borderline lepromatous/lepromatous (DV/VV the DT/TT group produced IFN-y levels significantly higher than DV/VV group (Fisher Test, p=0,027). The IFN-y production in the household contacts was observed in 34, 21 consanguineous and 13 non consanguineous. It wasn’t observed significant difference between paucibacilary household’s contacts (DT/TT, indeterminate form) and multibacilary household’s contacts groups in the IFN-y production to whole M. leprae antigen. However, it was observed significant difference in the production of these cytokine between household contacts and DV/VV patients. This study suggests that there wasn’t significative difference in the production IFN-y between non consanguineous and consanguineous subjects of the paucibacilary and multibacilary cases. Moreover, at correlacionated the production in these cytokine in the subjects with the presence of scar, we didn’t observed significative difference too.

Studies show that hospitals are propitious sites for the establishment and proliferation of certain insects. This situation is of particular concern because some insects, such as ants, can carry microorganisms on their body surfaces. The aim of this study was evaluate capacity to the ant species present in two tertiary public hospitals in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, to carry fungi and to establish a correlation with the airborne fungal microbiota. From March 2007 to February 2008, 2,899 ants were evaluated at two hospitals. The ant communities were sampled monthly, during two periods (day and night), by setting out nontoxic baited traps. Along with collection of the ants, the fungi present in the air of the hospital environments were isolated and identified through the passive sedimentation method in Petri dishes containing Sabouraud dextrose agar. To identify the ant species, a sample from each trap was sent to the Entomology Laboratory of State University of Ceará, where the ants captured were classified by morphological criteria. Another sample of the captured ants from each trap was sent to the Specialized Medical Mycology Center of the same university. The mycological identification was done by growth in culture media, seeded and incubated at 26-28ºC for up to 15 days, with identification through macro and micromorphological analysis, biochemical profiling and growth in chromogenic medium. From this study, five genera and thirteen species of ants were identified, from the hospitals’ critical areas (8% of the collected ants) and semi-critical areas (92%), during the daytime (48%) and nighttime (52%) periods. In the mycological analysis, 75% of the ants were fungi carriers, with Tapinoma melanocephalum and species from the genus Pheidole having the most potential as carriers of airborne fungi (75% and 18%, respectively) and yeasts (6% and 1%, respectively). Among the airborne fungi identified, those belonging to the Aspergillus (46%), Penicillium (18.5%) and Cladosporium (7%) genera were most common on the ants’ body surfaces. The predominant yeasts belonged to the Candida genus (70% of those isolated). Comparison of the fungal strains found in the air with those found on the ants did not establish any statistic correlation between the two fungal microbiotas. In summary, ants act as potential vectors of airborne fungi and yeasts, including some pathogenic species. Therefore, vigilance against insects and systematic air monitoring are important measures to ensure the healthfulness of hospital environments.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been related to the tumorigenesis of the gastric carcinomas, varying from 1.3-19.3% according to the studied population. Several studies have demonstrated strong evidences of its relation in this process, such as the monoclonality of the viral genome and its the presence in almost all tumor cells. However, most of the mechanisms used by the virus to control this process are still unknown. In this context, the present study aimed to investigate the frequency of the EBV and the association with the BCL-2, BAX and c-MYC proteins. Therefore, 100 cases of gastric carcinoma (67 males and 33 females), obtained from two hospitals in Fortaleza, were assessed to detect the EBV by PCR and in situ hybridization (aimed to the EBER1 transcript) using the standard method and GenPoint®. Immunohistochemistry technique was done to evaluate the expression of the referred cellular proteins, by streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method. The distribution by sex, age, tumor anatomic site and the histopathologic analysis, in general, reproduced the pattern of the world scientific bibliographies. Regarding virus detection by in situ hybridization, 8 (8%) cases were positive, 6 of these had shown diffuse pattern of staining, and 2 had demonstrated focal pattern. From 100 cases, only 2 presented infected lymphocytes. In general, the EBV demonstrated higher association with: males (87.5%[p=0.265]), tumors situated in the cardia (37.5% [p=0.549]), advanced stage (IIIB and IV), intestinal type (87.5%[p=0.136]), and moderately differentiated (75%).There were no EBV-positive cases which exhibited BCL-2 staining. Although the BAX and the c-MYC (nuclear) proteins have demonstrated significant positivity index and scores averages in the EBV-positive group, these were lower than the values of the EBV-negative group, notably the c-MYC nuclear protein (Mann-Withney test LI p=0.039 and HS p=0.045). The cytoplasmic staining of the c-MYC protein revealed slightly higher staining values in the EBV-positive group. The balance between the BCL-2 and BAX proteins demonstrated that the majority of the evaluated cases had exhibited apoptosis-orientation, however 62.3% of the EBV-positive cases exhibited equilibrium between these proteins. Twenty-nine cases (28 negative and 1 positive) were submitted to the biotinyl tyramide system (in situ hybridization method - GenPoint®), demonstrating the same results obtained by the standard technique. From the 61 cases assessed by PCR, 35 (57.4%) were positive, being verified a low concordance index (kappa = -0.026 [±0.069]) with the standard in situ hybridization technique. The 30bp deletion of LMP1 gene was investigated in 24 out of 35 positive cases, being verified in 37.5% of these. The results obtained in the present study, concerning the EBV frequency and the correlation with clinic-histopathologic data, reproduced findings of researches done in several world regions. The correlation with the proteins suggests that in vivo the virus is not related to the overexpression of BCL-2 and c-MYC (nuclear) that could act in synergism to promote the tumor development. The suppression of the BAX expression might represent a viral mechanism for apoptosis inhibition. The results of the cytoplasmic c-MYC point to a possible involvement of the EBV with transport mechanisms of the nuclear membrane, resulting in its accumulation in the cytoplasm. The low frequency of infected lymphocytes indicates that they are not the main responsible of the high number of positivity in the PCR technique. It could be, at least in part, due to the infected normal and/or pre-neoplastic epithelium, suggesting a new latency pattern which not express the EBER1.

Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are an important public health problem throughout the world and parainfluenza viruses are among the major etiologic agents. The objectives of this study were: a) to determine the frequency of parainfluenza infections among children attending Hospital Infantil Albert Sabin, a major pediatric hospital in Fortaleza - CE, from January 2001 to December 2006; b) to describe the seasonal pattern and the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of these infections; and c) to compare clinical and epidemiological characteristics of parainfluenza infections and infections caused by other respiratory viruses. Nasopharyngeal aspirates from children with acute respiratory symptoms were collected and submitted to indirect immunofluorescence assays to detect human parainfluenza virus 1, 2 and 3 (HPIV-1, 2 and 3), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A and B and adenovirus. During the six-year study period, samples were collected from 3,070 generally healthy children and respiratory viruses were demonstrated in 933 cases (30.39%), of which 117 were positive for parainfluenza virus (3.81%). HPIV-3 was the most frequently detected type of parainfluenza virus accounting for 83.76% of cases, followed by HPIV-1 (11.96%) and HPIV-2 (4.27%). HPIV-3 infections were seasonal with most cases observed from September to November. Although the total number of ARIs was directly associated with the time of the rainy season, HPIV-3 infections were inversely related with rainfall indices. Most HPIV-3 infections were seen in outpatients. The mean age of patients infected by HPIV-3 was 20 months, which is significantly younger than for influenza A (mean age: 34 months) and significantly older than for RSV (mean age: 15 months). HPIV-3 patients presented significantly lower indices of dyspnea, cough, crackles, chest retractions and radiologic abnormalities than RSV patients. Upper airway infection was the most frequent clinical syndrome among HPIV-3 patients. HPIV-3 patients needed less oxygen, salbutamol, antibiotics, corticosteroids and nebulization than RSV patients. In contrast with earlier observations for Northeastern Brazil, our results demonstrate a seasonal pattern for the occurrence of HPIV-3 infections with most cases observed during the dry season. The results also suggest that infections caused by HPIV-3 are milder than infections caused by RSV in previously healthy children.

The influenza virus is unique with it is ability to cause recurring annual epidemics in a short time interval, affecting all ages, with larger gravity in children and elderly people. The aim of this study is to describe demographic features and the pattern of the seasonality of acute respiratory infections caused by influenza virus in children attended at Albert Sabin Children Hospital, in Fortaleza – Ceará, over the period of January period 2001 at July 2004. A total of 1950 samples of nasopharyngeal aspirates were collected from chidren with symptoms of acute respiratory infection. All samples were analyzed by indirect imunofluorescense assay (IFA). Forty seven Influenza A or B positive samples by IFA, in 2003 and 2004, were submitted to polimerase chain reaction with reverse transcription (RTPCR) for analysis of viral variant H1 and H3 and influenza b. A total of 156 samples were influenza A or influenza B positive, representing a prevalence rate of 8%. Among the viral infections, those caused by influenza viruses represented 24,1%. The influenza virus showed a pattern of regular annual occurrence, observed during the first semester of each year, correlated to the rainy periods. The peak of the epidemic periods of influenza preceded or occurred concomitantly to the national campaigns of vaccination. Influenza virus A and B cocirculated in all years of the study, with a significant predominance of the virus influenza A (91%) over influenza B (9%). Regarding to the medical care setting, the majority of the children with influenza infection were attended in ambulatories (48,7%) and emergency (39.7%). Eighteen children with influenza were attended in wards (11,5%). Regarding to the age of the children with influenza these infections predominated in children until two years of age. About 65,4% of the influenza infections were diagnosed as upper respiratory tract infections. Lower respiratory tract infection predominated in children until two years of age. In 2003 and 2004 were identified the variants A/H3 and B, with predominance of the first (78,7%)

With developing of forensic observations, certain species of insects and microorganisms were described as indicators of periods of the degradation of the body. However, the literature is still scarce in the field of Forensic Mycology. It was investigated the microbiological characteristics of fungi presence in the post mortem change, as well as, it esteemed the value of the mycology exams in the study. 400 collections was accomplished in 60 human bodies (34 of the bloated stage, 06 of the putrefaction stage and 20 of the skeletonization stage) at the Fortaleza city morgue and public cemeteries in the state of Ceará, The picked material was analyzed through macro/microcharacteristics and specific biochemical tests. Ally to such analyses, was also accomplished the test of the perforation of the hair in vitro in hair of corpses in the bloated stage and in hair of healthy adults. The material gathered was analyzed at the Specialized Medical Mycology Center of the Federal University of Ceará. With the anthropological results, it was observed that male, in the interval of the 31 to the 40 years, was more commonly attacked, being the capital (Fortaleza) the more involved in the number of deaths. In the bloated stage, among the identified filamentous fungi, the presence of four orders was observed: Order Eurotiales (63 isolated Aspergillus spp and 21 isolated Penicillium spp), Order Mucorales (4 Mucor spp), Order Hypocreales (2 Acremonium spp, 1 Trichoderma spp and 1 Fusarium spp) and Order Saccharomycetales (2 Geotrichum spp). In the yeast distribution, it was observed the orders:Saccharomycetales (44 Candida spp) and Tremellales (5 Trichosporon spp). In the putrefaction stage, it was isolated the following orders: Eurotiales (Penicillium spp 2 and Aspergillus 2) and Hypocreales 1 (Acremonium spp). Regarding the yeasts, it was just isolated the Order Saccharomycetales (Candida spp 3). In the eskeletonization stage, the following orders were observed: Order Eurotiales (Aspergillus spp 22 and Penicillium spp 18), Order Mucorales (Mucor spp 10) and Order Hypocreales (Acremonium spp 2 and Trichoderma spp 1). Regarding the yeasts, two orders were found: Tremellales (Trichosporon spp 1) and Saccharomycetales (Candida spp 1). In the hair perforation test in vitro, it was positive in the bloated stage, differing of healthy adults,where the test was negative. For conclusion, Forensic Micology is still a rich field in data and fungi can come to be a tool in the aid of human post mortem diagnosis.
