During an influenza A(H7N7) virus outbreak among poultry in Italy during August-September 2013, infection with a highly pathogenic avian was diagnosed for 3 workers conjunctivitis. Genetic analyses revealed that the viruses from humans were closely related to those chickens on affected farms.
Abstract Background Since the end of February 2020, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak rapidly spread throughout Italy and other European countries, but limited information has been available about its characteristics in HIV-infected patients. Methods We have described a case series patients with HIV infection COVID-19 diagnosed at S.Orsola Hospital (Bologna, Italy) during March April, 2020. Results reported 26 COVID-19. Nineteen subjects were men, median age was 54 years, 73% had...

ObjectiveGastroenteritis caused by a single pathogen or multiple pathogens remains major diagnostic challenge for the laboratory. The treatment of diarrhoea is based on microbiological results. Diagnosis achieved using different laboratory techniques that have variable sensitivity and specificity. xTAG GPP new multiplex PCR assay simultaneously detects 15 responsible diarrhoea. results first multicentre study in Italy to evaluate potential clinical application diagnosis are reported...
Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a Gram-positive pathogen responsible for both superficial and invasive infections (iGAS), with increasing global incidence in recent years. This study aims to characterize the molecular clinical features of iGAS cases Bologna Imola (Italy) between 2022 2024. Thirty-five isolates were analyzed through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) investigate distribution emm types, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes, virulence factors. Clinical...
Background: Antimicrobial therapies used for treating group B streptococcus (GBS) early-onset sepsis (EOS) provide insight into clinicians’ adherence to antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) guidelines. Methods: We reviewed given treat newborns with GBS-EOS. Data were obtained from an Italian surveillance network (including 35 birthing centers) and prospectively collected 1 January 2003 31 December 2024. Empiric definitive classified as adequate inadequate. Results: There 967,054 live births 200...
Abstract Background A recent study conducted in humans demonstrated for the first time that bone loss immediate period after implant insertion before loading did not significantly differ organ transplant recipients with respect to normal subjects. Purpose The purpose of this is evaluate and periodontal response peri‐implant microflora a group organ‐transplanted patients 1 year prosthetic loading. Materials Methods population included 13 consecutive (11 hearts, two livers) (healthy) control...
The diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) remains challenging, due to the limited sensitivity microscopy, poor performance serological methods in immunocompromised patients and lack standardization molecular tests. aim this study was implement a combined diagnostic workflow by integrating tests with standardized clinical criteria. Between July 2013 June 2015, proposed applied specimens obtained from 94 in-patients suspicion VL Emilia-Romagna region, Northern Italy. Serological techniques...
The sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea remains a public health concern for becoming resistant to drug treatments available. purpose of this study was evaluate the usefulness matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identify and cluster Neisseria gonorrhoeae. From current monitoring in Italy, as part European Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (EURO-GASP), 93 gonococci collected from 2007 2012 susceptible (44 isolates) (49...
OBJECTIVES To evaluate outcomes of neonates born to mothers with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy, the dynamics placental transfer maternal antibodies, and its persistence infancy. METHODS Cohort study enrolling SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy. All infants were evaluated at birth. Those women onset within weeks before delivery excluded from further analyses. Remaining underwent cerebral abdominal ultrasound, fundoscopy evaluation, enrolled a 12...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of disease 2019 (COVID-19), may manifest as a life-threatening infection with systemic complications. Clinical manifestations among children are generally less severe than those seen in adults, but critical cases have increasingly been reported infants 1 year age. We report case neonatal COVID-19 requiring intensive care and mechanical ventilation, further complicated by multidrug-resistant Enterobacter...
Toscana virus (TOSv) is a neurotropic arthropod-borne that causes meningitis in the Mediterranean basin during summer months. A total of 120 patients suffering from acute aseptic between July 1 and October 31, 2010 northern Italy were evaluated. Eighteen them (15%) stage TOSv disease.
Toscana virus (TOSV), transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies, is recognised as one of the most important causes viral meningitis in summer Mediterranean countries. A surveillance plan based on both human and entomological surveys was started 2010 Emilia-Romagna region, Italy. Clinical samples from patients with neurological manifestations were collected during to 2012. The protocol improved these years, allowing detection 65 infections. Most infections recorded hilly areas, where sandflies...
Human leishmaniasis is on increase in the Mediterranean Europe. However, exact prevalence of cutaneous (CL) largely unknown as underdiagnosis and under reporting are common.To evaluate epidemiological, clinicopathological microbiological aspects CL cases occurring Bologna Province, north-eastern Italy.We performed a retrospective, observational study diagnosed Province between January 2013 December 2015.During 2013-2015, 30 were identified with an average incidence 1.00/100 000, fourfold to...
To assay the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genome in vaginal, rectal, and placental swabs among pregnant women newborn nasopharyngeal to investigate immunological response maternal antibody transfer through umbilical cord blood milk unvaccinated mothers.Vaginal, specimens, neonatal serum, were collected from a wide cohort Italian with confirmed infection admitted hospital between February 25, 2020 June 30, 2021. Samples tested selected reference laboratories according shared interlaboratory...
