“…Like any dissemination process in heterogeneous populations, the epidemic declined progressively within certain population segments, such as those with better socioeconomic conditions 11 and those of lesser magnitude, such as injection drug users 12 , aside from segments directly benefited by the implementation of specific efficient and effective prophylactic measures, such as control of blood banks 13 , and the prophylaxis of mother-to-child transmission 14 .…”

IntroductionAIDS enters its third decade as an epidemic of great transcendence, affecting the quality of life of the population, principally young adults, and having a great impact on the economy and societal and family structures. It is estimated that at the beginning of the present century, worldwide, there are 40 million people living with HIV, with 4 million new infections per year, and 2.8 million deaths worldwide 1 .Substantial changes in the levels of morbidity-mortality have been recorded, due to the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), starting in 1996 2,3 , with a significant increase in life expectancy in places where HAART is available, and furthermore with marked socioeconomic 4 and gender differentials 5 .The majority of people infected with HIV or AIDS in developing countries have not benefited from, as they do not yet have access to, therapies that are presently available in developed countries, presenting a profound inequality in relation to access to essential medications 6 .This article reviews the principal epidemiological findings of the Brazilian epidemic and summarizes the results of national research through articles published in journals indexed in MEDLINE and/or SciELO databases up to 2006, as well as via complementary analyses of databases of AIDS cases reported to the Brazilian Ministry of Health (Reportable Diseases Da-REVISÃO REVIEW

Chagas' disease is a major public health problem in Latin America. About 16 million persons are affected and 90 million others are exposed to the risk of being infected by the parasite. The knowledge of epidemiological aspects of the disease allowed to delineate the strategies for the control of the disease related with the vectorial transmission. However, these strategies have had no priority in all endemic countries. Rural-urban migration in most endemic areas carried infected individuals to urban centers increasing the problem of Chagas' disease by blood transfusion. In Brazil the control program has reached good results in the last years and in several states the vectorial transmission was controlled. More recently, hemotherapic practices are performed using screening procedures but this practice must be improved in order to eliminate the possibility of Chagas' disease transmission by another ways (congenital, accidental, oral, etc.). An adequate health care to the infected persons must be improved in order to diminish the social costs of the severe cardiopathy which has been responsible for the adults premature deaths.
