    Background: The skin is affected in more than 90% of human immunodeficiency virus patients throughout the disease. And those infected by hepatitis C virus, between 40 and 74% present at least one extrahepatic manifestation in the course of the disease. In studies of cutaneous conditions, there are few data in the literature about incidence, prevalence and clinical specificities in those coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus. Objective: To determine the dermatoses in patients coinfected by hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus and to compare them with the monoinfected by hepatitis C virus or human immunodeficiency virus. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional, descritive study was performed at the Cassiano Antônio Moraes University Hospital in Vitória (ES) in patients coinfected with hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus and in the groups infected by human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis C virus. Skin, oral mucosa and nails were examined in the search for dermatoses and the presence of pruritus was recorded. Results: A total of 134 patients were examined, 31 human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus coinfected, 62 human immunodeficiency virus infected and 41 hepatitis C virus infected. Compared to human immunodeficiency virus monoinfected individuals, the coinfected group had more cases of dermatoses suggestive of hepatic alterations (OR:3.040, p=0.001) and more cases of dyschromias (OR:2.315, p=0.005). The group infected by HCV infected had more skin infections (OR:2.272, p=0.002) and more cases of dermatoses suggestive of hepatic alterations (OR:2.536, p=0.002) when compared to those coinfected. When evaluating pruritus, the coinfected group showed no difference in compared to the human immunodeficiency virus infected group, but was more present in the hepatitis C virus infected individuals than in those coinfected (OR:1.963, p=0.001). Discussion and conclusion: The coinfected patients were more likely to present dermatoses suggestive of liver disease than those infected with hepatitis C virus or human immunodeficiency virus. Such differance occurs due to hepatic disease itself, aggravated by human immunodeficiency virus coinfection. The coinfected patients had a higher frequency of 14 dyschromia than the human immunodeficiency virus monoinfected group. Pruritus was not significantly different in its frequency in the human immunodeficiency virus monoinfected group compared to coinfected but was more present in the hepatitis C virus monoinfected group, possibly due to human immunodeficiency virus interference in the mechanisms of hepatitis C virus pruritus. Human immunodeficiency virus / hepatitis C virus coinfection predisposed to the increased frequency of infectious dermatoses, dyschromia and cutaneous alterations of liver diseases and contributed to the reduction of cutaneous pruritus. Patients with cutaneous stigmata of hepatic abnormalities, but without pruritus can direct the suspicion towards the double human immunodeficiency virus / hepatitis C virus infection.

    Inquérito sorológico para hanseníase em profissionais de saúde no Hospital Universitário Cassiano Antonio Moraes - Vitória - Espírito Santo - Brasil

    Background: Leprosy is a major public health problem in Brazil, and the control programs that aim to break the chain of transmission are focused on household contact of leprosy patients. However, the importance of contact outside the home and from individuals with subclinical infections are being studied more than ever before. Health professionals, in addition to being placed in the same endemic context of their patients, come into contact, often recursively, to leprosy patients. Objective: To better understand health professional exposure levels of Mycobacterium leprae at the Cassiano Antonio Moraes University Hospital, by way of determining their PGL I seropositivity and the correlation of this seropositivity to several factors, such as gender, occupation, place of work, time of practice, working with leprosy patients, presence of household contact with leprosy, comorbidities related to false positive ML-Flow and consumption of beef, milk and related products. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive, observational and homodemic study methods using a sample of 300 health professionals from the Cassiano Antonio Moraes University Hospital. Results: Of the 300 health professionals recruited, 296 had valid ML Flow tests and were therefore included in the study. Of these 296 health professionals studied, 83 % were female, 59 % were nursing assistants, 22 % were physicians, 5 % worked in leprosy clinics, 71 % had their professions for more than ten years old, 79 % denied having worked with leprosy patients and 7 % reported household contact with leprosy. The PGL I seropositivity among participants was 30.7 %. Discussion and Conclusion: In addition to the high PGL I seropositivity identified among the health professionals studied, statistical analysis determined a significant association (p = 0.001) between positivity for anti-PGL-I and the presence of household contact with leprosy patients. We could not demonstrate an association between anti -PGL I positivity and the other factors analyzed.
