Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Paula Custodio Werlang"
Paula Custodio Werlang's recent research focuses on improving diagnostic methods for disseminated histoplasmosis, particularly in patients with advanced HIV disease in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The study involves a 1-year prospective cohort analysis conducted at a Sao Paulo referral hospital, targeting hospitalized individuals with CD4+ counts below 200 cells/µl.
Findings suggest that combining urine antigen tests with blood polymerase chain reaction (PCR) could enhance diagnostic accuracy for this condition, which is crucial given the limited availability of diagnostic tools in the region.
