To describe the behavior of Tuberculosis/Human Immunodeficiency Virus co-infection in a cohort of people affected by sensitive Tuberculosis in Ecuador from 01 January 2010 to 31 December 2015. Results: The percentage of co...infected persons reached 11% in the whole period of study, with a range from 8.4% to 12.7%. Male sex shows the highest incidence rate, representing 76.7% at the rate of 1 man for every 3.3 women. The population with the highest incidence of patients is economically active; the age group of 25-34 years reaches 40.1%. The coastal zone of the country reports more than 75% of the coinfected patients. Conclusion: Increased HIV/AIDS screening should be increased for Tuberculosis, with particular emphasis on male sex and enhance the actions in the coastal provinces.

Este documento presenta modelos de algoritmos que permiten investigar por métodos bacteriológicos a los pacientes para el diagnóstico de tuberculosis (TB), TB asociada al Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana (TB-HIV) y TB drogorresistente (TBDR).
Le coronavirus. Ce nom est aujourd’hui sur toutes les lèvres. Certains le redoutent, et constituent des réserves de masques et de gel désinfectant. D’autres s’agacent de tout le ramdam fait autour d’un virus qui fait bien moins de morts que la grippe saisonnière. Alors où se trouve la v...érité ? Doit-on vraiment redouter cette épidémie de pneumonie virale venue de Chine ? Doit-on se calfeutrer chez soi pour éviter le danger ? Et le coronavirus pourrait-il échapper à tout contrôle ? Canal Détox coupe court aux fausses infos.

La promoción del lavado de manos es fundamental para minimizar la transmisión de SARS-COV-2 y para salvar vidas. Una de las maneras más frecuentes de trasmisión de SARS-COV-2 es a través de manos contaminadas al tocarse la boca, la nariz y los ojos. También se puede transferir el virus de una ...superficie a otra a través de las manos contaminadas. Acceso gratuito y uso mandatorio de estaciones de lavado de manos ayudaría a minimizar la transmisión del virus de COVID y a salvar vidas.

his guidance provides interim guidance for the integration of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virologic and genomic surveillance, from sentinel site case enrolment and sampling to the eventual sharing of the virus sequence data, a process known as end-to-end surveillance. This guidance builds on experience...s and lessons learned as countries adapted their influenza surveillance systems in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and reviews new evidence to provide guidance on end-to-end surveillance. The guidance includes new algorithms and strategies to adapt sentinel systems to make them resilient and agile for addressing global and national surveillance needs for influenza and COVID-19.covid-

This page aims to support researchers and interested individuals by providing tools and data sets related to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak and the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
La résistance aux antimicrobiens Esurvient lorsque les micro-organismes (bactéries, champignons, virus et parasites) évoluent quand ils sont exposés à des médicaments antimicrobiens (comme les antibiotiques, les antifongiques, les antiviraux, les antipaludiques et les anthelminthiques).
On ap...pelle parfois «super bactéries» celles qui développent une résistance aux antimicrobiens, mais cela concerne tous les micro-organismes.
En conséquence, les médicaments perdent leur efficacité et les infections persistent dans l’organisme, augmentant le risque de transmission à d’autres personnes.

Coronavirus disease 2019 is also known as COVID-19. It is a viral illness that infects the lungs. It is caused by a virus called SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). This illness was first seen in late 2019 in China and has spread across the world.
The signs of COVID-19 are like the flu, and y...ou may have a cough, fever, and it may be hard to breathe. It spreads easily through droplets with the virus when you sneeze or cough. The germs also survive on surfaces like tables, door handles, and telephones. That means you can become sick if you touch a surface with the virus and then touch your face.
Some people have a mild case of COVID-19 and are able to stay at home until they feel better. Others may need to be in the hospital if they are very sick. People with COVID-19 most often have to isolate themselves for about 2 weeks.
