Afrânio Lineu Kritski,Tereza Cristina Scatena Villa,Anete Trajman,José Roberto Lapa e Silva,Roberto de Andrade Medronho,Antonio Ruffino-Netto +5 more
TL;DR: The analysis showed initially case report and review publications, and later it shifted to original articles on science, technology and innovation, which may reflect the strengthening of scientific research activities and new attitudes regarding tuberculosis research objectives in academic institutions in recent years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of TB treatment by HIV status in national recording systems in Brazil, 2003-2008.
Mauro Niskier Sanchez,Patricia Bartholomay,Denise Arakaki-Sanchez,Donald A. Enarson,Karen Bissell,Draurio Barreira,Anthony D. Harries,Afrânio Lineu Kritski +7 more
TL;DR: HIV status played an important role in TB treatment outcomes in the study period, and those in the group with unknown HIV status indicate the need for wider HIV testing among new TB cases.
Journal Article

Vania Maria Carneiro da Silva,Antonio José Ledo Alves da Cunha,J. R. Oliveira,M. M. Figueira,Zoelete B. Nunes,Kathryn DeRiemer,Afrânio Lineu Kritski +6 more
TL;DR: Medical students in this setting may be at increased risk of M. tuberculosis infection, relative to chemical engineering students, and a programme of routine tuberculin skin testing is needed, combined with interventions to reduce the risk of nosocomial transmission in the workplace.
Journal ArticleDOI
