HIV-2 infection is associated with preserved GALT homeostasis and epithelial integrity despite ongoing mucosal viral replication
Fernandes S, Pires A, Matoso P, Ferreira C, Nunes-Cabaco H, Correia L, et al.
Mucosal Immunol . 2017 May; 11(1):236-248. PMID: 28513595
The mechanisms that enable preservation of gut mucosal integrity during persistent viral replication and inherent inflammation remain unclear. Here, we investigated, for the first time, gut homeostasis in HIV-2 infection,...

Population mobility and the changing epidemics of HIV-2 in Portugal
Carvalho A, Valadas E, Franca L, Carvalho C, Aleixo M, Mendez J, et al.
HIV Med . 2011 Dec; 13(4):219-25. PMID: 22136745
Introduction: Portugal is the European country with the highest frequency of HIV-2 infection, which is mainly concentrated in West Africa. The cumulative number of notified HIV-2 infections in Portugal was...

Smear microscopy to diagnose tuberculosis early and prevent further transmission in a population with a high prevalence of HIV infection
Valadas E, Hanscheid T, Fernandes M, Antunes F
Clin Microbiol Infect . 2003 Nov; 9(10):1045-7. PMID: 14616750
In western Europe, Portugal has the highest incidence of tuberculosis (TB). The quickest way to diagnose TB is with a positive smear. To evaluate the usefulness of smear microscopy in...

Automated malaria diagnosis using pigment detection
Hanscheid T, Valadas E, Grobusch M
Parasitol Today . 2000 Dec; 16(12):549-51. PMID: 11121855
Several new methods of malaria diagnosis have recently been developed, but these all rely on clinical suspicion and, consequently, an explicit clinical request. Although some methods lend themselves to automation...

Monocyte-derived macrophage cytokine responses induced by M. bovis BCG
Atkinson S, Valadas E, Smith S, Lukey P, Dockrell H
Tuber Lung Dis . 2000 Oct; 80(4-5):197-207. PMID: 11052909
Setting: One important aspect of macrophage function is the production of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, which in turn affect the survival of intracellular organisms such as mycobacteria. Objective: To determine...

Avoiding misdiagnosis of malaria: a novel automated method allows specific diagnosis, even in the absence of clinical suspicion
Hanscheid T, Pinto B, Pereira I, Cristino J, Valadas E
Emerg Infect Dis . 1999 Dec; 5(6):836-8. PMID: 10603226

Usefulness of immunochromatographic detection of antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosis as an adjunct to auramine staining for rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis in a low-prevalence setting
Struyf F, Lemmens A, Valadas E, Verhaegen J, Van Ranst M
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis . 1999 Dec; 18(10):740-2. PMID: 10584904
A novel immunochromatographic membrane-based assay for the detection of specific IgG antibodies to Mycobacterium tuberculosis was evaluated in patients with active tuberculosis in a low-prevalence population. The sensitivity of the...
