“…The pathogenic inferiority of HTLV-2 compared to HTLV-1 15 is known and so it is not clearly associated with diseases, although there are reports of an association of HTLV-2 with neurological diseases and increased incidence of respiratory infections 16 ; this explains the absence of symptoms reported in these patients.…”

O consumo de fibras tem ação protetora da constipação e seu uso tem sido recomendado nas estratégias de normalização do trânsito intestinal de pacientes gravemente constipados para melhorar a frequência de evacuação intestinal e reduzir a demanda de laxantes (LINDBERG et al, 2011;NASCIMENTO et al, 2012). As pessoas acometidas por doenças infecciosas são igualmente mais acometidas por deficiências nutricionais, que podem estar associadas a gravidade das infecções agudas e crônicas (GHOSN; VIARD, 2013).…”
