Syphilis has resurged globally, especially in urban areas of developed countries. This study analyses syphilis cases over a decade at an STD centre Bologna, Italy, examining new diagnoses, reinfections, and impacts on high-risk subgroups, compared with national European data. Data from 2009–2019 were retrospectively reviewed, including primary, secondary, early latent, late indeterminate cases, as per WHO guidelines. Cases tertiary serological-only diagnoses excluded. Statistical analysis...
This case report describes an 83-year-old patient with a history of non-melanoma skin cancer who presented violaceous, painless nodule on the neck. Dermoscopic examination and subsequent biopsy revealed Small/Medium CD4
ABSTRACT Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) serovars L1–L3. Our study wants to underline the similarities between rectal LGV and idiopathic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which can share clinical, endoscopic histopathological findings.
Abstract Primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (PCSM-LPDs), represent a rare group of haematological diseases primarily affecting the skin. In this retrospective single-centre case series study, we aimed to investigate demographic, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic aspects PCSM-LPD. We collected data from cases diagnosed between 2010 present, employing histopathological immunohistochemical methods following World Health Organization criteria. included 22...
<title>Abstract</title> Background: Chlormethine gel is a promising treatment for early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) with strong efficacy and manageable side effects. This study evaluates its effectiveness as second-line in patients unresponsive to prior skin-directed therapies (SDTs) or combined systemic treatments, hypothesising significant therapeutic benefits adverse reactions. Methods: A retrospective observational was conducted from April 2021 December 2022, including adult...
<h3>Objectives</h3> Nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) has become the preferred method to detect <i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> (CT) and <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> (GC) infections. Anyway, no commercial test been cleared so far for use with extra-genital swab samples. In this study Versant CT/GC DNA 1.0 (Siemens) performances have evaluated by ocular, rectal or pharyngeal secretions collected Siemens collection devices. <h3>Methods</h3> Study group. A prospective was performed 7...
<h3>Background</h3> Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is a systemic sexually transmitted infection caused by <i>Chlamydia</i><i>trachomatis </i>(CT)serovars L1-L3. In the recent outbreaks classic clinical presentation with inguinal syndrome giving way to anorectal primitive in men having sex (MSM). Here we report about 6 cases of LGV identified during 2012. <h3>Methods</h3> A prospective study was performed 78 rectal specimens obtained from MSM attending STD Outpatients Clinic S. Orsola...
<h3>Background</h3> Despite nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are widely used to detect <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> infections, so far no commercial kit has been cleared for testing rectal or pharyngeal swab samples, even if anal and/or oral sex practises common. In this study, a comparison between Real Time PCR Versant CT/GC DNA 1.0 (Siemens) and <i>N. culture performances conducted, secretions collected by E-swabs (Copan). <h3>Methods</h3> Study group.
