Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

From August to October 1992 a study of prevalence of cutaneous positivity to histoplasmin and paracoccidioidin was carried out in the cities of Cachoeira do Sul (Valley of jacuí River) and Santo Ângelo (western hillside of the PlateAn), Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Skin tests were made in 193 soldiers from Cachoeira do Sul and 161 soldiers from Santo Ângelo, both groups of 17 to 19 years of age. In Cachoeira do Sul the prevalence of positive tests to histoplasmin was 89% and to paracoccidioidin 82%. In Santo Ângelo 48% of the intradermical reactions were positive to histoplasmin and 39% to paracoccidioidin.
