Factors associated with malaria and arboviral disease in patients with imported febrile syndrome: a retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: To identify predictors of malaria and arboviral disease in patients with febrile syndrome who seek care after traveling from tropical or subtropical locations.

Material And Methods: Observational retrospective cohort study. We collected demographic, epidemiologic, and clinical data; laboratory findings; and the clinical and final microbiologic diagnoses.

[Association between inflammatory markers and microbial translocation in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection taking antiretroviral treatment].

Background And Objective: Inflammatory biomarkers are increased in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Antiretroviral treatment (ART) improves some parameters but do not normalize them. The aim of this study is to determine those factors (including microbial translocation) associated with higher inflammation in HIV treated patients.

[Expert recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection in the prison setting].

The prevalence of HCV infection in Spanish prisons is very high (38.5%). The characteristics of the infected patients, particularly the high rate of HIV coinfection, makes it very likely that the morbidity and mortality produced by serious liver disease secondary to this infection will increase considerably in the coming years.
