Rubella virus (RV) infection during the early stages of pregnancy can lead to serious birth defects, known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). This retrospective study was conducted between 1996 and 2009 with surveillance specimens collected from patients suspected of congenital rubella infection (CRI) and CRS. The clinical samples (nine amminiotic fluid, eight urine, eight blood, one conception product, and one placenta) were sent for viral isolation and genotyping. Twenty-seven sequences were analysed and four genotypes (1a, 1B, 1G, and 2B) were identified in São Paulo that were involved in congenital infection. To our knowledge, this study is the first report that describes genetic diversity of the circulating rubella strains involved in CRI.

O parvovirus humano B19 foi isolado e caracterizado de amostra clínica de um paciente, infectado no Japão, e que apresentou os sintomas de febre e erupção cutânea após sua chegada ao Brasil. A infecção por parvovírus foi confirmada por meio de seguintes ensaios: Elisa para detecção de anticorpos IgM antiparvovirus B19 e técnica de polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Um fragmento da região NS1-VP1 foi diretamente submetido ao seqüenciamento do nucleotídeo. A análise filogenética parcial do B19, frente às várias seqüências disponíveis no GenBank, indicou que PV B19 isolado correspondeu ao genótipo 1.
Human parvovirus B19 was identified and characterized in sample collected from a patient who was infected in Japan, and the symptoms as fever and rash appeared after arriving to Brazil. The occurrence of virus infection was confirmed by both assays: Elisa parvovirus B19-specific IgM antibody detection andpolymerase chain reaction (PCR). A fragment of NS1-VP1 region was directly submitted to nucleotide sequencing. Partial phylogenetic analysis of B19 sequences, including several sequences available in GenBank, indicated that the isolated HPV B19 corresponded to genotype 1.

No estado de São Paulo, Brasil, em função da eficiente estratégia para a vigilância do vírus do sarampo(VS), não houve registro de casos nativos de sarampo no período de 2001 a 2007. No estado de São Paulo foram registrados casos de sarampo importados, sendo 01 paciente em 2001, outro em 2002 e em 2005 foi alvo de investigação uma criança não vacinada, de 18 meses de idade com exantema e febre, que foi admitida em hospital privado. O Centro de Vigilância Epidemiológica descobriu que o irmão desta criança teve uma doença semelhante uma semana antes. A infecção pelo vírus do sarampo foi confirmada no Instituto Adolfo Lutz pela detecção de anticorpo IgM anti-VS, isolamento do vírus por meio de cultivo em células Vero/hSLAM e amplificação de RNA viral por RT-PCR. A região do gene da nucleoproteína do vírus isolado foi amplificada. O resultado da análise filogênica mostrou que o vírus isolado correspondeu ao genótipo D5. Este genótipo circula no continente da Ásia e há relatos sobre sua anterior circulação em São Paulo.
Owing to the efficient strategies for measles virus (MV) surveillance in São Paulo State, Brazil, no circulation of native measles virus was registered during the period from 2001 to 2007. In Sao Paulo State the imported measles cases were registered, being one in 2001, one in 2002, and in 2005 an unvaccinated 18-month-oldchild presenting fever and exanthema admitted to a private hospital was the target of epidemiological study. The Center of Epidemiological Surveillance found out that a brother of this child had had a similar disease one week before. The measles virus infection was confirmed at Adolfo Lutz Institute by detecting the MV-specific IgM antibody, by virus isolation on Vero/hSLAM cells culture, and by means of MV-RNA amplification on RT-PCR technique. A region of nucleoprotein gene from isolated virus was amplified. The phylogenetic analysis data showed that the isolated virus corresponded to genotype D5. This genotype circulates in the...
