Objective: To determine the prevalence of notifications of HIV/AIDS in the population of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, showing only the city of Campo Grande, from 2010 to 2015. Method: A descriptive, epidemiological study on quantitative analysis. As a source of data collection there was used for the online platform of the Department of STD, AIDS and Viral Hepatitis of the Secretariat of Health Surveillance. Results: We found 3409 notifications in the entire state; however, 1393 notifications occurred in the municipality of Campo Grande within the time under analysis. The adult male heterosexual population in the age range of age above 24 years old presented higher detection rate of aids/HIV. Conclusion: These data demonstrate that the epidemic is not regressing neither progressing, and still presents as a frame high rates in heterosexuals, in the white population followed by mixed, both with low level of schooling, showing as the most vulnerable population.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological aspects of HIV infection and AIDS among indigenous peoples of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. METHODS: This is a descriptive epidemiological study on the occurrence and distribution of HIV infection and AIDS in the indigenous population assisted by the Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena (Indigenous Special Health District) Mato Grosso do Sul between 2001 and 2014, based on three secondary databases. Annual rates of HIV and AIDS detection and prevalence were calculated, considering case distribution according to village, Health Base Pole and sociodemographic variables. Accumulated rates of detection, mortality and case fatality were calculated by ethnic group and for the Health Base Pole with the highest number of cases. RESULTS: The HIV detection rate fluctuated between 0.0 and 18.0/100 thousand people in the study period. For AIDS, there was no notification before 2007, but in 2012 its rate reached 16.6/100 thousand. HIV prevalence grew between 2001 and 2011, and it continuously grew for AIDS starting from 2007. The highest HIV detection rates occurred among Guarani peoples (167.1/100 thousand) and for AIDS, among the Kaiowá peoples (79.3/100 thousand); mortality and fatality rates were higher among the Kaiowá. Regarding the Dourados Health Base Pole, the AIDS detection rate increased, and the mortality and fatality rates decreased. CONCLUSIONS: HIV infection and AIDS have been increasing among indigenous peoples, with distribution of the disease mainly in the Health Base Poles of the southern region of the state, where greater economic and social vulnerability are also observed. The endemic character of HIV and AIDS can become epidemic in some years given the existence of cases in other villages in the state. Its occurrence among the Guarani and Kaiowá populations indicates the need for expanded diagnosis, access to treatment and prevention measures.

We report on the first isolation of dengue virus serotype 4 (DENV-4) in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in February, 2012. The cases were isolated in the city of Campo Grande, the state capital, and presented the classic signs and symptoms of dengue fever. DENV-4 was primarily identified through viral isolation in C6/36 clone lineage of Aedes albopictus cells; followed by indirect immunofluorescence, using type-specific monoclonal antibodies. The results were subsequently confirmed by Nested RT-PCR tests. The first description of the introduction of DENV-4 in a state whose population is susceptible to this serotype and the circulation of three other serotypes in the area is cause for concern due to the increased possibility of severe and lethal cases of the disease, and of huge epidemics.

ABSTRACT Objective: to characterize the early intervention services offered by the Association of Parents and Friends of People with Intellectual Disability (APAE, its Portuguese acronym) in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Methods: out of the 56 institutions considered, 33 confirmed the existence of early Intervention services and received, via e-mail, a protocol for the characterization of services. Ten of these protocols were answered by the person responsible for the institution. The data were charted and analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and cartographic representation of Mato Grosso do Sul. Results: the studied institutions are present in much of the territorial extension of the state. However, a large central area, with relevant population density, still lacks coverage. The most frequently used term to characterize the service was “early stimulation”. As their target public, the institutions prioritize syndromic, malformed and premature babies, as well as those at social risk, in the age range zero to three years (60%), who are referred by the health services and undergo screening. All institutions have a multi-professional team, with at least four different professionals, in inter- or transdisciplinary practice; their intervention plan is elaborated with and for the family. Conclusion: considering the importance of early intervention along with the families, it is important to highlight the urgency of continuing education with the region's institutions for the services to be offered.

It is known that Brazil is a country with great tourism potential, due to its enormous cultural and natural diversity. However, this potential is not fully exploited, as observed in the city of Campo Grande. Even located on the route of the main tourist attractions of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, the city is not recognized for its tourist attractions. Having knowledge of this scenario, brings the proposal of Turistando CG, with the objective of disseminating the tourist activities of Campo Grande, from a tourist inventory built to feed a web system, developed to disseminate the data of tourist activities.

Abstract—A synopsis of Dicliptera (Acanthaceae) for Brazil is presented. Six species are recognized: Dicliptera ciliaris, D. sexangularis, and D. squarrosa, widely distributed in South America; D. purpurascens, which ranges from the North Region of Brazil (in the state of Acre) to eastern Bolivia; D. gracilirama, a new species from the Atlantic Forest of northeastern Brazil; and D. granchaquenha, a new species recorded in dry and semideciduous forests in Bolivia and western Brazil, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Furthermore, we propose new synonyms and designate lectotypes for eleven names. An identification key to the six accepted Dicliptera species in Brazil is provided.

A distribuição da epidemia de aids no Brasil está associada a uma ampla gama de fatores que definem maior ou menor vulnerabilidade de grupos populacionais. O estudo teve como objetivo analisar as características clínicas e laboratoriais dos casos de infecção pelo HIV/aids em indivíduos com 13 anos de idade ou mais, e sua evolução para o óbito na população indígena assistida pelo Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena de Mato Grosso do Sul. Realizou-se um estudo descritivo e retrospectivo sobre a condição clínica e evolução da doença entre 2001 e 2014, a partir de três bases de dados secundários. Foram avaliados o tempo de evolução para a aids, o tempo de evolução ao óbito, a carga viral, a contagem de linfócitos T-CD4+ e o tempo de sobrevida. Foram identificados 103 casos de infecção pelo HIV, dos quais 48,5% evoluíram para aids, sendo 60% em menos de um ano desde o diagnóstico. Foram registrados 40 óbitos, sendo 77,5% em decorrência da infecção pelo HIV. Desses que morreram, apenas 30% tiveram sobrevida maior do que um ano. Este estudo sugere que o diagnóstico da infecção pelo HIV se deu nas fases avançadas da doença, revelando-se tardio e apontando uma cobertura diagnóstica deficiente. A rápida evolução ao óbito e curto período de sobrevida também podem indicar fragilidade no acesso aos serviços de saúde de referência, assim como desarticulação e pactuações insuficientes entre Distrito, municípios e estado.

The menaced and poorly-known waters of the Bodoquena Plateau revealed a new resident, the stunning Hypostomus froehlichi sp. n., a large-sized armored catfish, which is finally described after more than twenty years since its discovery. The Bodoquena Plateau is drained by the rio Paraguay basin, and is located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The new species differs from its congeners on the Bodoquena crystalline waters by having teeth with morphological and numerical variation in adult specimens. There is a continuous range of specimens having about 20 thick and worn teeth to specimens having about 50 thin teeth with intact crowns and lanceolate main cusps. Additional diagnostic characters are: dentaries angled more than 90 degrees, dark blotches, one plate bordering supraoccipital, moderate keel along dorsal series of plates, usually two rows of blotches per interradial membrane on dorsal, pectoral and ventral fins, and by attaining comparatively large size. Hypostomus froehlichi seems to be endemic to the area of the Bodoquena Plateau, in rivers draining to the rio Miranda. The description of the new species reveals a potential conservation flagship species as it is one of the most seen and documented fish by visitors and divers in the clear waters from the touristic, though menaced, Bonito region in Brazil.

ABSTRACT We described infracommunities, prevalence and mean intensity of infestation of ecotoparasite flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on bats in an ecotone area of Cerrado as predominant vegetation, with influence of Atlantic Forest, in the southeast of Mato Grosso do Sul. In 36 sampling nights between April 2015 and August 2016 (23,328 m².h), we captured 17 bat species, of which ten were infested, and 14 species of fly. The most abundant bats were the phyllostomids Artibeus planirostris (Spix, 1823), Glossophaga soricina (Pallas, 1776) and Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) and the most abundant flies were the streblids Trichobius longipes (Rudow, 1871), T. joblingi Wenzel, 1966 and Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899). Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) was the bat species that presented the highest infestation rate. Platyrrhinus lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) and Desmodus rotundus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) were not infested. Besides that, the frequency of bats that were infested by a single species of fly was higher than the frequency of bats infested for two or more, and it may be a pattern.

The incidence of Candida bloodstream infection has increased over the past years. In the Center-West region of Brazil, data on candidemia are scarce. This paper reports a retrospective analysis of 96 cases of Candida bloodstream infection at a Brazilian tertiary-care teaching hospital in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, from January 1998 to December 2006. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected from medical records and from the hospital's laboratory database. Patients' ages ranged from three days to 92 years, with 53 (55.2%) adults and 43 (44.8%) children. Of the latter, 25 (58.1%) were newborns. The risk conditions most often found were: long period of hospitalization, utilization of venous central catheter, and previous use of antibiotics. Fifty-eight (60.4%) patients died during the hospitalization period and eight (13.7%) of them died 30 days after the diagnosis of candidemia. Candida albicans (45.8%) was the most prevalent species, followed by C. parapsilosis (34.4%), C. tropicalis (14.6%) and C. glabrata (5.2%). This is the first report of Candida bloodstream infection in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul and it highlights the importance of considering the possibility of invasive Candida infection in patients exposed to risk factors, particularly among neonates and the elderly.
