“…Organism-specific immunohistochemical stains, when available, can be an additional useful tool for refining pathogen identification 35 The second detection method, 16S rDNA PCR/sequencing, showed good sensitivity in detecting the bacterial pathogen responsible for IE on cardiac valves 22,23 and we observed similar results when applying this method to cerebral thrombi. In our analysis, PCR/sequencing showed lower sensitivity and specificity compared to histopathological analysis.…”

“…Before the advent of PCR, the method of choice for diagnosing yellow fever was IHC, which remains a highly reliable diagnostic tool ( 13 ), even in the presence of some autolysis ( 14 ). In our study and the ongoing outbreak, histopathologic analyses and IHC were vital for successful diagnosis, enabling detection of atypical presentation, paralleling the sensitivity and specificity of PCRs.…”

“…A interação da patologia com a infectologia é importante, uma vez que os aspectos clínicos das doenças infecciosas são frequentemente similares aos de neoplasias, e o diagnóstico nem sempre é suspeitado na realização da abordagem cirúrgica e obtenção do espécime para o exame histopatológico 3 . Em outras situações, mesmo com a coleta de material para exames microbiológicos especializados, o exame histopatológico é aquele capaz de oferecer os resultados em menor tempo, o que pode fazer diferença no manejo clínico do paciente.…”
