This is an innovation-seeking project that focuses on studying the activity of polarized macrophages either into M1 (classically activated macrophages) or into M2 (alternatively activated macrophages) from individuals with active pulmonary tuberculosis both with and without intestinal helminth infection. Objective Analyze patients exposed to helminth infections. Duration September 2015 – September 2020 Scope of intervention
Prisma conducted a longitudinal cohort study of newborns to answer epidemiological queries in an environment of frequent natural Norovirus (NV) and Sapovirus (SV) infections. The research started with newborns, as the first infections occur very early in life. We wanted to quantify the incidence and morbidity attributable to NV and SV (total and genotype-specific), and
Immunocompromised people, like HIV-infected people, are at risk of reactivation of Chagas disease, which is an AIDS-defining illness. New diagnostic tests for cerebral toxoplasmosis and reactivated Chagas disease in HIV-infected patients are needed because, as described, current algorithms have low sensitivity and/or specificity. Our group has developed a urine antigen detection test by nanoparticle concentration

This study is based on a study of Chagas disease in Arequipa, Peru. The purpose of this investigation is to carry out randomized field work with three different interventions to increase participation in vector control campaigns carried out by the Ministry of Health (MINSA), using strategies reported in the field of “behavioral economics” (behavior change using
