Following the report of a non-travel-associated cluster monkeypox cases by United Kingdom in May 2022, 41 countries across WHO European Region have reported 21,098 and two deaths 23 August 2022. Nowcasting suggests plateauing case notifications. Most (97%) are MSM, with atypical rash-illness presentation. Spread is mainly through close contact during sexual activities. Few among women children. Targeted interventions at-risk groups needed to stop further transmission.
We describe the epidemiology of New Delhi Metallo-Beta-Lactamase-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (NDM-CRE) colonization/infection in a cohort COVID-19 patients an Italian teaching hospital. These had increased risk NDM-CRE acquisition versus usual (75.9 vs. 25.3 cases/10,000 patient days). The co-infection significantly duration hospital stay (32.9 15.8

Here we reported the virological, entomological and epidemiological characteristics of large autochthonous outbreak dengue (DENV) occurred in a small village Lombardy region (Northern Italy) during summer 2023.
Vaccine hesitancy (VH) remains worldwide a reason of concern. Most the vaccination education strategies followed "fact-based" approach, based on assumption that decision making is rational process, without considering influence cognitive biases and heuristics. Our study aimed at identifying factors involved in parents' choice to inform shape communication interventions. We conducted an online national survey among parents between November 2020 April 2021. The questionnaire consisted 42 items...
Abstract People in prison represent a high‐risk population for HCV infection control. With the advent of new direct antiviral agents (DAAs) micro‐elimination setting became feasible strategy. We assessed impact an intervention testing and treatment 2017 2018 jail (San Vittore,SV) sentenced individuals (Opera,OP). A dedicated protocol was applied implemented over two years. collected data on demographics, all inmates present 31 October 2018. In facilities, there were 2,366 2,369 respectively;...
Owing to infrastructural and population characteristics, the prison setting is at increased risk for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 severe clinical outcomes. Because structural operational reasons, research in settings challenging available studies are often monocentric have limited temporal coverage; broader-based necessary.To assess extent dynamics COVID-19 pandemic within system a large Italian region, Lombardy, report infection prevention control measures implemented.This repeated...
Abstract Introduction The vaccination coverage decline and the re-emergence of vaccine preventable diseases draw attention to problem hesitancy (VH). Many studies demonstrated that current education is not very effective. We analysed VH in relation Health Literacy (HL) perception diseases-related risks a sample parents. Methods conducted survey among parents between February November 2018. collected data on demographic, main sources information, attitude (using Vaccine Confidence Index (VCI)...

Abstract Background Infections with antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (AMR-GNB) are increasingly being reported worldwide. Early identification of carriage at hospital admission is essential to reduce the risk onward transmission within health facility. This systematic review aimed exploring screening practices for AMR-GNB faecal colonization among patients on in high-income countries and estimating its prevalence. Methods We searched Pubmed, Scopus Cochrane databases studies...
Abstract Background Vaccination of healthcare workers (HCWs) against seasonal influenza is considered the most effective way to protect HCWs and maintain essential services during epidemics. With present study we aimed evaluate efficacy measures implemented three flu campaigns 2018/19, 2019/20 2020/21 in a university hospital Pisa, Italy, through assessment vaccination coverage (VC) assess attitudes toward vaccination.
