In the Brazilian HIV-1 epidemic, subtypes B, C, and F1 are cocirculating in the population. Sequences of the partial pol gene from 463 HIV-1-infected patients were obtained from plasma samples and viral subtype was characterized. BF recombinants were found in 8% of the samples. Fifteen different patterns were observed. A CRF28_BF and CRF29_BF structure was found in 29.7% of the samples, CRF12_BF in 13.5%, and CRF39_BF in 2.7%. Two other patterns were identified in each of three samples. These findings could indicate a new CRF description, but to determine this a full length study is required.

CONTRIBUIÇÃO AO ESTUDO DO DIAGNÓSTICO CLÍNICO LABORATORIAL E DIFERENCIAL DASEntamoeba histolytica E Entamoeba dispar RESUMODesde que, a Entamoeba histolytica foi considerada espécie distinta da Entamoeba dispar, o diagnóstico diferencial entre elas tornou-se indispensável. Nesse cenário esse estudo, objetivou realizar uma revisão bibliográfica a partir de documentos e bases de dados consolidadas com a meta de subsidiar os profissionais em saúde sobre o conhecimento no que concerne aos exames clínicos laboratoriais para efetuar a distinção entre os amebídeos antes citados, minimizando as dúvidas que por ventura permeia esses profissionais. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Diagnóstico Diferencial; Entamoeba histolytica; Entamoeba dispar. CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF CLINICAL LABORATORY AND DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE Entamoeba histolytica AND Entamoeba dispar ABSTRACTSince Entamoeba histolytica was considered distinct specie from Entamoeba dispar, the different diagnostics between them became indispensable. In this scenario, this study aimed the realization of a bibliographic revision starting at documents and consolidated data bases, with the goal of subsidize the health proffessionals about the knowledge of what concerns about clinical lab exams, to make a distinction between the species upped cited, minimizing the doubts that could eventually come to the mind of those proffessionals.
