Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of polymerase chain reaction methods for reliable and easy detection of congenital Trypanosoma cruzi infection.
Myrna Virreira,Faustino Torrico,Carine Truyens,Cristina Alonso-Vega,Marco Solano,Yves Carlier,Michal Svoboda +6 more
TL;DR: The reliability of the PCR test was demonstrated, since all the 18 blood samples from newborns with congenital T. cruzi infection were positive, whereas the remaining samples (30 from control newborns of uninfected mothers and 262 of 263 from babies born to infected mothers) were negative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal Trypanosoma cruzi infection upregulates capacity of uninfected neonate cells To produce pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
Johan Vekemans,Carine Truyens,Faustino Torrico,Marco Solano,Mary Cruz Torrico,Patricia Rodriguez,Cristina Alonso-Vega,Cristina Alonso-Vega,Yves Carlier +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that T. cruzi infection in mothers induces profound perturbations in the cytokine response of their uninfected neonates, which might contribute to limit the occurrence and severity of congenital infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Congenital Chagas disease in Bolivia is not associated with DNA polymorphism of Trypanosoma cruzi.
Myrna Virreira,Cristina Alonso-Vega,Marco Solano,Juan Jijena,Laurent Brutus,Zulema Bustamante,Carine Truyens,Dominique Schneider,Faustino Torrico,Yves Carlier,Michal Svoboda +10 more
TL;DR: Data show that T. cruzi DNA polymorphism, based on the presently available markers, is not associated with the occurrence of congenital infection or the development of severe clinical forms of congenitals Chagas disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida Trypanosomatidae): Ecology of the transmission cycle in the wild environment of the Andean valley of Cochabamba, Bolivia
Mirko Rojas Cortez,Ana Paula Pinho,Patricia Cuervo,Fernando D. Alfaro,Marco Solano,Samanta C. C. Xavier,Paulo Sérgio D'Andrea,Octavio Fernandes,Faustino Torrico,François Noireau,Ana Maria Jansen +10 more
TL;DR: An active Trypanosoma cruzi transmission cycle maintained by wild rodents in the Andean valleys of Cochabamba Bolivia is described and the finding of high prevalence of T. cruzi infection in wild T. infestans point to the risk of the dispersion of Chagas' disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut Hormones, Appetite Suppression and Cachexia in Patients with Pulmonary TB
Suzanne W. Chang,William S. Pan,Daniel Franz Lozano Beltrán,Lizet Oleyda Baldelomar,Marco Solano,Iskra Tuero,Jon S. Friedland,Faustino Torrico,Robert H. Gilman,Robert H. Gilman +9 more
TL;DR: Appetite-regulatory hormones are altered in TB patients and as hormones normalize during treatment, appetite is restored and nutritional status improves.
