It proved to be a virus with markedly heterogeneous and varied clinical presentation.

Despite increased awareness and public health initiatives, the incidence of microbial infections related to tattoos has increased since 2000. Building on the first paper in this two-part Series, which detailed the microbiological aspects of tattoo-related infections over the past two centuries from 1820 to 2023, this second paper describes the patterns, causes, and other related epidemiological factors of these infections. Since 2000, bacterial outbreaks, particularly those caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria, have increased, prompting a re-evaluation of tattoos as a serious public health risk.

Background: Although blood transfusion is an essential therapeutic procedure, it can present risks, including transmitting infectious diseases, such as malaria. In Acre, the thick blood smear microscopic examination (TBS) is used to screen infected malaria blood donors. However, TBS has low sensitivity for detecting Plasmodium in situations of low parasitaemia, such as those presented by asymptomatic clinically healthy individuals.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess and compare the effectiveness and safety of methylene blue ink and commercially available surgical marker pens in pre-operative skin marking for joint replacement procedures. The objective was to evaluate the visibility of the surgical instruments during the operation and their influence on the occurrence of infections after the surgery, providing valuable information on the practical use and cost-effectiveness.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective randomized study involved 150 total cases, which included knee replacements, total hip replacements, and hip hemiarthroplasty performed between 2020 and 2023.
