Dengue represents a significant public health challenge in Brazil, with thousands of cases reported annually. Effective control of this disease requires innovative and sustainable approaches. In this context, the Wolbachia method emerges as a promising strategy, harnessing the ability of this endosymbiotic bacterium to reduce the vector competence of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, the dengue virus transmitter. This integrative review assessed its effectiveness in Brazil, using scientific articles from PubMed, SciELO, and BVS databases from 2019 to 2024.

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia in individuals with HIV results from multiple risk factors, particularly immune defects a CD4 count decrease, especially when below<100cells/mm3 continues to be risk factor fro pneumonia due to routine bacterial pathogens. Assessment of risk factors which may help to assess the poor and good outcomes for patients with community-acquired pneumonia(CAP) in individuals with HIV for further evaluation of possibility their modification and through that reduction mortality rate.
