Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of condylomata acuminata/HPV and evaluate associated predictors in infected patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional and retrospective study, medical records of patients who attended a public health referral center located in Southern Brazil, Parana, between April 2012 and March 2017 were reviewed. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were analyzed using the chi-square and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The overall prevalence of condylomata acuminata/HPV in 3,447 patients was 33.1% (n = 1,140). Coinfection of condylomata/HPV with other STI was noted in 23.7% (n = 270) of cases. The population was characterized by a high prevalence (43.8%) in patients aged < 20 years, women (37.4%), white (33.3%), educational level with more than 8 years of study (33.7%), widowed (39.2%), heterosexual (36.7%), and ages between 13 and 19 years at first sexual intercourse (41.1%). A significant association was observed between male sex and multiple partners and between male sex and irregular use of condoms (p < 0.001). The predictors associated with HPV infection were the age group of up to 29 years (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.3–3.7, p < 0.013) and homosexual/bisexual (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.12–0.66, p = 0.003). Conclusion: The findings showed a high prevalence of condylomata acuminata in a public health center study, with emphasis on the age range below the third decade of life and sexual behavior predictors. These predictors are important for the determination of preventive measures against the transmission of infection and the development of cancer.
A sfilis ainda continua a ser um problema de saúde, sendo, o objetivo deste objetivo de aprender é importante aprender a aprender entre 2017 a dezembro de 2017 a melhorar e melhorar epidemiológico sobre s. Diante disso, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva e detalhada por meio da análise dos dados em pacientes prontuários atendidos em uma referência do Oeste do Paraná. Foram analisados um total de 877 prontuários, sendo 530 (%) casos do sexo masculino e 347 (40%) casos do sexo feminino. O sexo masculino teve predominância em todos os resultados, a faixa etária mais acometida foi de 20-39 anos em que os homens tiveram 367 (63%) dos casos. No que homens se referem a um comportamento sexual, heterossexuais e solteiros foram os que mais se destacaram sendo 360 (54%),e 333 (63%) casos, respectivamente. Já no sexo feminino a prevalência foi em solteiras 197 (37%), heterossexuais 311 (46%) de 20-39 anos. Ambos os sexos não usam preservativo, são 282 (56%) em homens e 225 (44%) de casos em mulheres. 403 (59%) e 281 (41%) dos homens e mulheres tiveram mais que 8 anos de estudo, respectivamente. A maioria dos homens pacientes mulheres (29%) foram atendidos pela mulher rapidamente (71%) e 111% eram mulheres. Apesar dos avanços terapêuticos e preventivos, a IST continua sendo uma preocupação do IST e a grande prevalência na região, dificultando assim uma boa qualidade da vida dos pacientes. são 282 (56%) em homens e 225 (44%) de casos em mulheres.403 (59%) e 281 (41%) dos homens e mulheres tiveram mais que 8 anos de estudo, respectivamente.

Background: Sexually transmitted diseases (DSTs) are pathologies that affect millions of people, bringing various consequences to public health. Diseases such as Syphilis and Virus Immunodeficiency Human (HIV) are very prevalent and affect both sexes. Objective: To identify the prevalence and general characteristics of female patients (pregnant or not pregnant) with syphilis and HIV, in a health center in southern Brazil.Methods & Materials: A secondary epidemiological study was conducted in the Northwest region of the state of Paran , through the collection of data from medical records of female patients. The data collected refer to epidemiological, clinical and laboratory aspects of the patients seen between 2013 and 2015. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee on Research in Human Beings, according to opinion 1.375.279 of 12/18/2015Results: The results were analyzed in EpiData (r) 3.1 and Stata (r) 9.1 software, using effect measures, Odds Ratio and 95% confidence interval. 95%. With the analysis of 6993 records, 167 (2.39%) had a positive report for Syphilis and HIV, of these positive cases, 28 (16.77%) were pregnant women. The mean age of the women was 32 years���3.1, the majority were pregnant 3192 (56.23%), with education level of more than eight years of study 4798 (73.53%), lived in urban area 6275 (95.25%) reported using some type of drug 2153 (32.48%) and 3673 (59.27%) women reported not using a condom with a partner during intercourse. Conclusion:This study provides information relevant to preventive, control and related to the diagnosis and early treatment of women with DSTs. In the case of pregnant women the early detection becomes essential for the adoption of prophylactic measures trying to reduce the risk of vertical transmission.
Introduction: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a disease of the human immune system resulting from infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) virus. Methods: The study was carried out between 2015 and 2016 with patients who attended a Specialized Center for Parasitic Infectious Diseases in Paraná. The research was divided into two stages, where the effects of supplementation on TC4 + cells, viral load (LV) and number of opportunistic diseases were verified. 20mg / day of zinc was added to the cookies for 3 months. Results: Data analysis does not show statistical differences in VL and Zinc supplementation; however, supplementation shows that it is able to promote an increase in the TCD4 + count. Patients reported an improvement in their well-being and a decrease in the incidence of opportunistic diseases. Conclusion: Thus, it was observed that zinc supplementation was highly effective in increasing TCD4 + positively improving the immune response and quality of life. In addition, the supplementation in the form of biscuits proved to be innovative and very effective.
