3. Hypogammaglobulinemia: a diagnosis that must not be overlooked
Humoral immunological defects are frequent and important causes of hypogammaglobulinemia, leading to recurrent infections, autoimmunity, allergies, and neoplasias. Usually, its onset occurs in childhood or during the second and third decades of life; however, the diagnosis is made, on average, 6 to 7 years afterwards. As a consequence, antibody defects can l

4. Gene therapy of advanced-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with Mycobacterium leprae heat shock protein 65 DNA: a phase 1 study / Fase 1 do estudo da aplicação da vacina de DNA HSP 65 (Heat Shock Protein) do Mycobacterium leprae no tratamento de formas avançadas de carcinomas epidermóide de cabeça e pescoço
This study goal was to describe and graduate the local and systemic toxicity of intratumoral injections of HSP (Heat Shock Protein) 65 DNA vaccine in advanced-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN) patients and to define the highest well tolerated dose for them. This is a prospective, non-randomized, uncontrolled, phase 1 study, using a new vacc

5. "Efeitos da infusão de Luffa operculata sobre o epitélio e a atividade mucociliar do palato isolado de rã" / Effects of Luffa operculata infusion on the epithelium and the mucociliary activity of the isolated frog palate
Luffa operculata is a medicinal plant popularly used for treatment of rhinitis and rhinosinusitis. Its dry fruit infusion is used into the nose, delivering profuse mucous secretion, but may cause nasal mucosa irritation, epistaxis or anosmia. We evaluated the effects of different concentrations of Luffa operculata dry fruit infusion on mucociliary transport

6. Visual failure in allergic aspergillus sinusitis: case report.
We present a case of rapid progressive unilateral visual loss in a 69-year-old woman who presented with facial pain, ipsilateral proptosis and restriction of eye movements, and nasal symptoms suggestive of sinusitis. A diagnosis of allergic aspergillus sinusitis was made on the basis of local histopathology and systemic features. Over a three-week period vis

7. Evaluation of the microbiology of chronic ethmoid sinusitis.
In a prospective study, patients with the diagnosis of chronic ethmoid sinusitis were evaluated microbiologically by using biopsy specimens of the ethmoid sinus mucosa. Microbiology cultures were performed on 94 specimens from 59 patients. Staphylococcus aureus and members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were the most frequent classical pathogenic bacteria

8. Comparison of cyclacillin and amoxicillin for therapy for acute maxillary sinusitis.
Cyclacillin, a new aminosalicylic semisynthetic penicillin, was compared with amoxicillin for the therapy of acute bacterial maxillary sinusitis in 80 patients (ages, 12 to 70 years) in a prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial. Direct sinus aspirations for quantitative culture were done for all patients before and after 10 days of therapy. Both

9. Metarrhizium anisopliae as a Cause of Sinusitis in Immunocompetent Hosts
Metarrhizium anisopliae is a common pathogen of insects and has even been used to control insect populations. It is rarely isolated from human or animal sources, but recently, there have been three reported cases of disease, two in humans and one in a cat. We present our experience with five isolates from human sources, including two that were the apparent c

10. Allescheria (Petriellidium) boydii sinusitis in a compromised host.
The first case of Allescheria (Petriellidium) boydii sinusitis is reported. The organism was isolated from the maxillary sinus in an elderly, diabetic, chronic alcoholic man on maintenance hemodialysis who developed a syndrome resembling mucormycosis. Infections with A. boydii are infrequent and are most commonly limited to Madura foot. In addition, several

11. Bacteriological findings of acute maxillary sinusitis in young adults.
Bacteriological findings in 339 sinus secretions obtained by puncture were investigated in 238 young adult patients with acute maxillary sinusitis. Aerobic and anaerobic cultures were performed immediately. A total of 76% of the secretions were positive. The most common pathogens isolated were Haemophilus influenzae (50%), Streptococcus pneumoniae (19%), Str

12. Rhino-orbital zygomycosis.
A 63-year-old diabetic man presented with sinusitis with orbital and intracranial signs progressing over one week, due to zygomycosis. Despite control of the diabetes, surgical excision of infected tissue and antifungal therapy he died in the fifth week of illness. Pathological study showed extensive fungal infiltration of periorbital structures and mycotic
