Resumo Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar se as vítimas da epidemia da Zika têm acesso às políticas públicas essenciais à garantia dos direitos sociais. Métodos: Estudo transversal de uma coorte histórica de crianças com síndrome da Zika congênita (SZC) em um hospital de referência. Utilizou-se o protocolo do Ministério da Saúde para o diagnóstico de SZC. As variáveis analisadas foram características sociodemográficas e direitos sociais das crianças. Resultados: Das 161 crianças avaliadas de abril/2016 a julho/2018, 42 apresentavam SZC. Destas, 37 participaram do estudo, 75,7% com grave comprometimento neurológico. Anticonvulsivantes eram utilizados em 73% dos casos, 81% custeados pelas famílias. As famílias ainda custeavam fórmulas nutricionais (79%) e fraldas (100%). A terapia de reabilitação era realizada por 89% das crianças, embora 70% enfrentassem diversas barreiras para tal. Das 24 mães que trabalhavam, 83% não retornaram ao mercado de trabalho após o nascimento dos filhos. Conclusões: As famílias estavam situadas na interseção entre a atividade integral de cuidado de um filho com deficiências graves e a ineficiência e omissão do poder público, um contexto de desincentivo e desalento que, vencendo-as pelo cansaço, fazia com que muitas acabassem desistindo de tentar buscar seus direitos.

Abstract The objective of this study was to describe if the victims of the Zika have access to essential public policies to guarantee social rights. Methods: We used a cross-sectional study of a historical cohort of children with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in a reference hospital. CZS diagnosis was based on the Ministry of Health protocol. The variables analyzed were sociodemographic and social rights of children. Results: Of the 161 children seen from April 2016 to July 2018, 42 were diagnosed with CZS. Of these, 37 children participated in the study and 75.7% of them had severe neurological disorders. Anticonvulsants were used by 73% of the children, with 81% paid by families. The families were also responsible for purchasing nutritional formulas and diapers in, respectively, 79% and 100% of cases, and 89% of the children had access to rehabilitation therapy, although 70% of them faced several barriers to do it. Of the 24 working mothers, 83% did not return to the labor market after the birth of their children. Conclusions: The results showed that the families were at an intersection between the integral activity of caring for a child with severe disabilities and inefficient and omissive public authorities, a disincentive and discouraging context that made them give up in seeking their rights.

RESUMO Este artigo aborda o fiar como devir nas obras de Judith Scott (1943-2005), artista trissômica, iletrada e inábil para a linguagem verbal. O intento é examinar a índole intuitiva e a temporalidade - a formatividade prioriza o processo ao produto. A temporalidade será abordada a partir da filosofia bergsoniana. Frequentemente, expressões ínsitas são sufocadas pelo conhecimento teórico, por “ideias muito possuídas”, em termos pontyanos. Deduzir aleatoriedade é um equívoco, orientado pela generalidade. Considerando o ineditismo da pesquisa sobre a estadunidense no Brasil, esta reflexão contribui com a diversidade de perspectivas sobre processos de saber artístico e com a consolidação da fortuna crítica, além de proporcionar uma discussão sobre a possibilidade de pensar a arte a partir de uma perspectiva fenomenológica.

ABSTRACT This paper approaches spinning as becoming in the works of Judith Scott (1943-2005), an illiterate trisomic artist incapable of verbal language. The intent is to examine the intuitive nature and the temporality - the formativity prioritizes the process over the product. The temporality will be approached from the Bergsonian philosophy. Frequently, innate expressions are smothered by theoretical knowledge, by “very possessed ideas”, in Merleau-Ponty terms. Thus, deducing randomness is a mistake, guided by generality. Considering the originality of research on this American artist in Brazil, this reflection contributes to the diversity of perspectives on artistic processes and to the consolidation of critical fortune, in addition to providing a discussion on the possibility of considering art from a phenomenological perspective.

RESUMEN Este artículo aborda el hilar como devenir en las obras de Judith Scott (1943-2005), artista trisómica, iletrada e inhábil para el lenguaje verbal. El intento es examinar la índole intuitiva y la temporalidad - la formatividad no prioriza el producto sino que el proceso. La temporalidad se abordará desde la filosofía bergsoniana. Frecuentemente, expresiones inherentes son ahogadas por el conocimiento teórico, por "ideas muy poseídas", en términos pontyanos. Deducir aleatoriedad es un equívoco, orientado por la generalidad. Partiendo del ineditismo en Brasil de la pesquisa acerca de la artista estadounidense, esta reflexión contribuye con la diversidad de perspectivas acerca de procesos de saber artístico y la consolidación de la fortuna crítica, además de discutir la posibilidad de pensar el arte desde una perspectiva fenomenológica.

RESUMO Este trabalho propõe uma leitura de abordagem fenomenológica sobre a obra de Stela do Patrocínio, interditada na Colônia Juliano Moreira por cerca 30 anos. Sua poesia expressa para além da beleza cruel. Impõe uma experiência de engajamento, como se o olhar da poetisa invadisse o leitor e nele se instalasse como um órgão de sentidos. Este ensaio celebra a alteridade como fonte de conhecimento e de possibilidades que se abrem, quando nos permitimos adentrar em um mundo impensável até então. O intuito é suscitar a resistência ao pensamento homogêneo e convocar à tomada de posição.

ABSTRACT This work proposes a phenomenological approach on the poetry of Stela do Patrocínio. She was interdict at Juliano Moreira Colony for about 30 years. Her poetry expresses far beyond cruel beauty. Such an experience of engagement is imposed, as if the gaze of the poet invaded the reader and installed that impression on him as an organ of the senses. This essay celebrates otherness as a source of knowledge and of the possibilities that open up when we allow ourselves to enter into an unthinkable world. The aim of this work is to raise resistance to homogeneous thinking, and to call for a position to be taken.

ABSTRACT The present research evaluated the seroprevalence of anti-zika virus (anti-ZIKV) antibodies by virus neutralization test (VNT) in 529 bovines from Andradina city, São Paulo state, Brazil. The reading was performed in an inverted optical microscope, considering reagents when the antibodies were capable to neutralize the ZIKV. Of the 529 samples, 53 (10.01%) were reagents. The animals were healthy at the time of collection. The samples were collected in February 2018, a favorable period for the multiplication of the vector and the highest risk of disease transmission. None of the animals showed anti-bovine viral diarrhea virus (anti-BVDV) antibodies, ruling out a possible cross-reaction, reinforcing the possible contact of the bovine with the ZIKV. In the herd, 88 pregnant females were evaluated; of these, 12 cows were reactive, with no history of reproductive problems or fetal malformations. This is the first research on the seroprevalence of ZIKV in cattle in Brazil, and studies should continue to evaluate cattle as a possible host of this arbovirus and its possible consequences for unique health and agribusiness.

Resumo Como parte da Melopoética_ disciplina voltada para o estudo de diferentes formas de relação entre Literatura e Música_ o ensaio discute teorias e tipologias propostas por críticos como Steven Paul Scher, Werner Wolf, Paul Zumthor, Susanne Langer, Luis Tatit e Claus Clüver, entre outros. A partir de três eixos classificatórios_ Música na Literatura, Literatura na Música, Literatura e Música_ estudam-se várias possibilidades de relação entre as duas artes. A título de complementação, acrescentam-se análises de criações musicais brasileiras e europeias, selecionadas como ilustrativas dos temas focalizados. Reconhecendo a existência de aspectos significativos da Melopoética ainda por explorar, o texto se encerra com a sugestão de temas especialmente convidativos para pesquisas futuras, tais como a gênese da intermidialidade, funções das relações intermidiáticas, a figura do autor /compositor ou do leitor /ouvinte e a compilação de um dicionário de relações músico-literárias.

Abstract As part of Melopoetics_ defined as the study of different forms of relations between Literature and Music_ the essay discusses theories and typologies put forth by critics like Steven Paul Scher, Werner Wolf, Paul Zumthor, Susanne Langer, Luis Tatit and Claus Clüver, among others. Starting from three classificatory axes_ Music in Literature, Literature in Music, Literature and Music_ a number of possible relations between the two arts are analyzed. By way of complementation, the text considers certain Brazilian and European musical creations, selected as illustrative of the themes dealt with. Realizing the existence of significant aspects of Melopoetics still unexplored, the article ends up with a suggestion of themes especially instigating for future research, such as the genesis of intermediality, functions of intermediatic relations, the figure of the composer/author and of the listener/reader and the compilation of a dictionary of musico-literary relations.

Abstract In the light of concepts put forth by cultural theorists like Homi Bhabha, Edward Said and Clifford Geertz, among others, this essay discusses Joseph Conrad’s novels Almayer’s Folly and Heart of Darkness as stagings of the conflicts inherent in the syncretic nature of all culture. In the first novel, the protagonist’s daughter, Nina, the offspring of an interracial marriage, is analyzed as a projection of the problems of racial and cultural hybridism. The theme recurs in Heart of Darkness, in the figure of the “harlequin”, whose mixed ancestry and motley appearance make him the butt of continuous abuse. A fictional anticipation of Michel Serres’ allegorical harlequin, the half-caste proves close to three Conradian characters: Nina, in Almayer’s Folly, and, in Heart of Darkness, Kurtz and Marlow, the narrator. Conrad’s two novels thus nod to each other as mutually illuminating references, fictional premonitions of the key postcolonial category of hybridity.

ABSTRACT Patients' data during daily clinical care are extremely important for improving the allocation of healthcare resources and for assessing healthcare demands. The prospective gathering of these data over decades allowed us to describe the trends of infectious diseases in a tertiary hospital. The results concerning the period between 1965 and 1994 described the exponential increase in the incidence of HIV infection and its important effects on our institutional mortality. The present study describes the demand for the same hospital between 1995 and 2016. There were 4,691 admissions and the main causes of admissions were, in descending order, HIV infection (1,312, 28.0%), noninfectious diseases (447, 9.5%), meningoencephalitis (432, 9.2%), soft tissue infections (427; 9.1%), tuberculosis (272, 5.8%), pneumonias (212, 4.5%) and leptospirosis (212, 4.5%). There were 864 readmissions; most due to HIV infections (65.2%). The institutional mortality fell from 16.9% in the first two years to 5.0% in the last two years of the study. The case-fatality rates among the HIV patients decreased from more than 40% to approximately 5% over the study period. In the last two decades, the hospital experienced a decrease in demand due to vaccine-preventable diseases. The demand for children has fallen and the demand for patients over the age of 50 has increased. These results reflect the improvement in public health standards over more than half a century and the positive effects of the National Immunization Program. They also illustrate the sharp decline in the HIV case-fatality rate after the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The growing incidence of post-surgical atypical mycobacteriosis (PSAM) may be related to the increased use of low- and medium-complexity video-assisted surgery. METHODS: Between April 2007 and June 2009, 125 patients were referred from the State Health Department of Rio de Janeiro for the treatment of confirmed, probable, or suspected PSAM. RESULTS: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was the most frequent surgical procedure (48.8%) among patients. Clarithromycin, ethambutol, and terizidone were used to treat 113 patients for a mean duration of 226 days. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the need for multidrug therapy and long treatment duration, most included patients adhered to treatment and experienced cure without relapse.

Resumo Recentes estudos genéticos nas populações deste parasita no Brasil têm mostrado grande variabilidade genética. O objetivo do presente estudo foi isolar e caracterizar genotipicamente T. gondii de aves e mamíferos de vida livre e de cativeiro no estado de Pernambuco, Brazil. Fragmentos de tecido do coração, cérebro, músculo esquelético e diafragma de 71 aves e 34 mamíferos de vida livre ou cativeiro foram colhidos. Amostras de 32 destes animais foram submetidas a bioensaios em camundongos. As amostras dos 73 animais restantes foram submetidas a diagnóstico biomolecular usando a técnica de PCR, tendo como alvo o fragmento repetitivo de 529 pb do DNA de T. gondii. Dentre os 32 bioensaios conduzidos, obteve-se um isolado não-virulento (TgButstBrPE1) de um socozinho (Butorides striata ) de vida livre, e dentre as amostras primárias, sete animais foram positivos. As amostras primárias e o isolado foram submetidos a PCR-RFLP usando os marcadores SAG1, 5’3’SAG2, alt.SAG2, SAG3, BTUB, GRA6, c22-8, c29-2, L358, PK1, Apico e CS3. Foram obtidos o genótipo ToxoDB-RFLP #13 do isolado do socozinho e o genótipo Type BrIII de uma lontra (Lontra longicaudis) de cativeiro (PS-TgLonloBrPE1). O presente estudo descreve o primeiro isolamento e caracterização genotípica de T. gondii em socozinho de vida livre, e a primeira caracterização genotípica de T. gondii em lontra em cativeiro.

Abstract Recent genetic population studies on Toxoplasma gondii in Brazil have shown large genetic variability. The objective of the present study was to isolate and genotypically characterize T. gondii from free-ranging and captive wild mammals and birds in Pernambuco state, Brazil. Fragments of heart, brain, skeletal muscle and diaphragm tissue from 71 birds and 34 mammals, which were either free-ranging or captive, were collected. Samples from 32 of these animals were subjected to bioassays in mice. Samples from the remaining 73 animals underwent biomolecular diagnosis, using PCR technique, targeting a repetitive DNA fragment of 529 bp in T. gondii. A non-virulent isolate (TgButstBrPE1) was obtained from a free-ranging striated heron (Butorides striata) and, based on primary samples, seven animals were found to be positive. The primary samples and the isolate obtained were subjected to PCR-RFLP using the markers SAG1, 5’3’SAG2, alt.SAG2, SAG3, BTUB, GRA6, c22-8, c29-2, L358, PK1, Apico and CS3. ToxoDB-RFLP genotype #13 from the striated heron isolate and Type BrIII genotype from a captive otter ( Lontra longicaudis) (PS-TgLonloBrPE1) were obtained. The present study describes the first isolation and genotypic characterization of T. gondii in free-ranging striated heron, and the first genotypic characterization of T. gondii in a captive otter.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Dengue is one of the most important mosquito-borne infections. Severe cases are more frequently observed in adults. However, in 2008, the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, experienced a severe dengue epidemic that primarily affected children and caused many cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and death. METHODS: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to examine laboratory diagnosis and clinical epidemiologic factors for confirmed dengue cases in patients aged less than 16 years, from January to June 2008, at a municipal hospital in the City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Variables associated with severe outcomes and P values less than .05 were evaluated by means of a logistic regression model. RESULTS: Of the 419 dengue cases studied, 296 were classified as DHF and 123 as classical dengue. Six patients who had DHF died. In multivariate analysis, some laboratory and clinical variables were independently associated with DHF: age 5 years or older (odds ratio [OR], 4.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30-18.71), abdominal pain (OR, 8.59; 95% CI, 3.17-23.27), hepatomegaly (OR, 15.87; 95% CI, 5.38-46.85), and positive tourniquet test (OR, 10.84; 95% CI, 3.96-29.71). Hypoalbuminemia occurred more frequently than hemoconcentration in DHF cases, and high aminotransferase levels were associated with severity. CONCLUSIONS: Age greater than 5 years, abdominal pain, painful hepatomegaly, and positive tourniquet test were predictors of DHF. The high frequency of hepatic impairment suggests that acetaminophen should be avoided in severe cases of dengue.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar um caso de toxoplasmose felina fatal com coinfecção com o vírus da leucemia felina (FeLV). Um gato doméstico (Felis silvestris catus) apresentou intensa dispneia e morreu três dias depois. Na necropsia, observaram-se pulmões firmes, não colabados e com múltiplas áreas brancas, além de linfoadenomegalia e esplenomegalia moderadas. No exame histopatológico, evidenciaram-se broncopneumonia intersticial necrótica acentuada e hepatite necrótica discreta associada a cistos e taquizoítas de T. gondii intralesionais positivos na imuno-histoquímica (IHC) anti-T. gondii. Evidenciou-se ainda, na medula óssea, leucemia mieloide crônica com IHC anti-FeLV positiva nas células neoplásicas. O DNA extraído dos pulmões foi positivo para T. gondii por meio da PCR-REP-529. T. gondii foi caracterizado por PCR-RFLP e pela técnica de microssatélites. Foi identificado o genótipo ToxoDB-PCR-RFLP #10, i.e., o arquétipo tipo I. A análise por microssatélites mostrou que a cepa era uma variante do tipo I, com dois alelos atípicos. Esta é a primeira vez que T. gondii clonal tipo I foi relacionado com um caso agudo de toxoplasmosis em um hospedeiro no Brasil.

Abstract The objective of the study was to report on a fatal case of feline toxoplasmosis with coinfection with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). A domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) presented intense dyspnea and died three days later. In the necropsy, the lungs were firm, without collapse and with many white areas; moderate lymphadenomegaly and splenomegaly were also observed. The histopathological examination showed severe necrotic interstitial bronchopneumonia and mild necrotic hepatitis, associated with intralesional cysts and tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii that were positive by anti-T. gondii immunohistochemical (IHC) evaluation. The bone marrow showed chronic myeloid leukemia and the neoplastic cells were positive by anti-FeLV IHC evaluation. DNA extracted from lungs was positive for T. gondii by PCR targeting REP-529. T. gondii was characterized by PCR-RFLP and by the microsatellites technique. ToxoDB-PCR-RFLP #10, i.e. the archetypal type I, was identified. Microsatellite analysis showed that the strain was a variant of type I with two atypical alleles. This was the first time that a T. gondii clonal type I genotype was correlated with a case of acute toxoplasmosis in a host in Brazil.

Abstract This study was conducted to provide information on the genetic diversity of human parvovirus B19 (B19V) circulating in the municipality of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Southeast Brazil during 1996–2006, a period with two distinct outbreaks of B19V infection: 1999–2000 and 2004–2005. A total of 27 sera from patients with erythema infectiosum and five sera from HIV-infected patients that tested positive for B19V DNA during the study period were analyzed. To genotype B19V strains, a semi-nested PCR for partial amplification of the capsid gene was performed and sequence analysis revealed that 31 sequences belonged to subgenotype 1a (G1a) of the main genotype 1 and one sequence was characterized as subgenotype 3b (G3b). The phylogenetic tree supported the division of the G1a into two well-defined clades with 1.3% of divergence. The low diversity of the G1a strains may be explained by the fact that all patients had acute B19V infection and 30/32 sera were collected during two distinct outbreaks. The G3b strain was from an HIV-infected patient who seroconverted to anti-B19 IgG antibodies in September/2005. This is the first report of G3b in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

Resumo Este trabalho propõe um olhar sobre a obra de Arthur Bispo do Rosario, que secundariza a patologia e prioriza o vivido. É frequente o cotejamento com Marcel Duchamp por conta da similaridade formal sustentada por algumas de suas obras. Mas a heterogeneidade dos percursos desafia a recepção a uma reflexão mais detida sobre suas respectivas experiências. Em Arthur Bispo do Rosario, a condição de recluso notadamente incorre em fortes restrições materiais e contextualiza a obra. Em seu inventivo e inusitado projeto, funda tanto menos uma estética da feiura e tanto mais - por sua força de verdade - o belo artístico, não como lei formal e plástica, mas como resultado ou êxito de uma experiência estética que se torna experiência artística. Espera-se adotar um ponto de vista que, prescindindo dos caminhos usuais - como a reincidente aproximação entre esses dois artistas -, busque ver além dos limites discerníveis do volume das obras, evidenciando uma verdade interposta como “quase-sujeitos”, nos termos de Georges Didi-Huberman. Examinar a obra têxtil de Arthur Bispo do Rosario pelos vãos da percepção é assumir sua indeterminação e considerá-la na categoria de instável a que pertencem os objetos de arte mediadores de realidades vividas. Evidenciar sua magnitude é também evidenciar sua importância como um possível instrumento de descontaminação e despreconceitualização do olhar que categoriza e penaliza artistas e obras, diagnosticando-as.

Abstract This article proposes a perspective on Arthur Bispo do Rosario’s work that assigns a secondary role to the pathology and prioritizes his experience. The comparison with Marcel Duchamp is usually made due to the formal similarity among their works of art. However, the heterogeneity of their trajectories challenges the audience to reflect carefully about the experiences of each one. In Arthur Bispo do Rosario, his status as an inmate clearly entails heavy constraints of the material and contextualizes his work. In his inventive and unusual project, he establishes less an aesthetics of ugliness but much more - by its strength of truth - one of artistic beauty, not as a formal and plastic law, but as a result or achievement of an aesthetic experience that becomes an artistic experience. The standpoint pursued in this article does not follow the usual paths - like the recurrent comparisons between these two artists -, and it searches to see beyond the discernible limits of the work volumes, highlighting a truth interposed like “almost-subjects”, in accordance with Georges Didi-Huberman’s theoretical framework. To examine the textile work of Arthur Bispo do Rosario by the gaps of perception is to assume its indeterminacy and to put it into the category of the unstable, in which stand the objects of art that mediate the lived realities. To emphasize its magnitude is also to emphasize its importance as a possible tool to decontaminate and eradicate the prejudice on the look that categorizes and penalizes artists and their works of art by diagnosing them.

Resumen En este trabajo se propone a reflejar sobre la obra de Arthur Bispo do Rosario, dejando en segundo plano la patología y priorizando lo vivido. Es frecuente la comparación de su produción con la de Marcel Duchamp, debido a la similitud formal con base en algunas de sus obras. Sin embargo, la heterogeneidad de los caminos por ellos vividos desafía la interpretación a una reflexión más contenida sobre sus respectivas experiencias. En Arthur Bispo do Rosario, su condición de recluso notadablemente incurre en fuertes restricciones materiales y contextualiza su obra. En su inventivo e inusitado proyecto funda mucho menos una estética basada en la fealdad, y mucho más -por su fuerza de verdad- lo bello artístico no como ley formal y plástica, pero como resultado, éxito de una experiencia estética que se convierte en una experiencia artística. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, se espera adoptar un punto de vista inusitado, prescindiendo de los caminos usuales, como la proximidad entre los dos artistas, y busque ver más allá de los límites del volumen de sus obras, evidenciando una verdad que se ha interpuesta como “casi-sujetos” em los términos de Georges Didi-Huberman. Examinar la obra textil de Arthur Bispo de Rosario por los vacíos de la percepción es assumir su indeterminación y considerarla como categoría inestable, es decir, a la que pertenecen los objetos de arte mediadores de realidades vividas. Evidenciar la magnitud de su obra es igualmente evidenciar su importancia como un posible instrumento de descontaminación y desprendimiento de los prejuicios de la mirada que categorizan y penalizan a artistas y obras, diagnosticándolas.

Résumé Cet article propose un regard sur le travail d’Arthur Bispo do Rosario, en mettant la pathologie dans un second plan et priorisant l’expérience vécue. La comparaison avec Marcel Duchamp est fréquente en raison de la similitude formelle entre certaines de leurs œuvres. Mais l’hétérogénéité des leurs chemins défie la réception à une réflexion plus déténue sur leurs respectives expériences. Chez Arthur Bispo do Rosario, sa condition de reclus notamment entraîne de fortes restrictions matérielles et contextualise son ouvrage. Dans son inventif et incroyable projet, il fonde moins une esthétique de la laideur que bien plus encore - en raison de sa force de vérité - le beau artistique, non pas comme une loi formelle et plastique, mais comme le résultat ou la réussite d’une expérience esthétique qui devient l’expérience artistique. En adoptant un point de vue qui méprise les formules usuelles - comme le récurrent rapprochement entre ces deux artistes - nous cherchons voir au-delà des limites discernables du volume des œuvres, en montrant la vérité interposée comme «presque-sujets», concept proposé par Georges Didi-Huberman. Dans notre perspective, nous regardons l’œuvre textile d’Arthur Bispo do Rosario par les lacunes de la perception, en assumant son indétermination et la considérons dans la catégorie d’instable à laquelle appartient les objets d’art médiateurs des réalités vécues. Mettre en évidence sa magnitude est également prouvé son importance comme possible instrument de décontamination et comme moyen d’éradication des préjugés du regard qui catégorise et pénalise les artistes bruts et leurs œuvres, en les diagnostiquant.

Immunocompromised patients may develop severe chronic anaemia when infected by human parvovirus B19 (B19V). However, this is not the case in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with good adherence to highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART). In this study, we investigated the clinical evolution of five HIV-infected patients receiving HAART who had B19V infections confirmed by serum polymerase chain reaction. Four of the patients were infected with genotype 1a strains and the remaining patient was infected with a genotype 3b strain. Anaemia was detected in three of the patients, but all patients recovered without requiring immunoglobulin and/or blood transfusions. In all cases, the attending physicians did not suspect the B19V infections. There was no apparent relationship between the infecting genotype and the clinical course. In the HAART era, B19V infections in HIV-positive patients may be limited, subtle or unapparent.
