Abstract Bergamo province was badly hit by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. We organised a public-funded, multidisciplinary follow-up programme for COVID-19 patients discharged from emergency department or inpatient wards of ‘Papa Giovanni XXIII’ Hospital, largest public hospital in area. As 31 July, first 767 had completed post-discharge assessment. Patients entered our at median time 81 days after discharge. Among them, 51.4% still complained symptoms, most commonly...
Little is known about the applicability of dual treatments based on integrase inhibitors. We explored combination lamivudine + dolutegravir as an option when switching from standard cART in virologically suppressed patients.In this prospective cohort we enrolled patients previously switched to 3TC DTG who were 18 years or older, with no previous resistance mutations used drugs, having a HIV-RNA <50 copies/ml for 6 months longer, negative HBsAg and stable (>6 months) cART.Ninety-four...
The risk of infection associated with immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) in patients multiple sclerosis (MS) has been increasingly addressed recent scientific literature. A modified Delphi consensus process was conducted to develop clinically relevant, evidence-based recommendations assist physicians decision-making relation the risks a wide range infections different DMDs MS. current statements, developed by panel experts (neurologists, infectious disease...
Thyroid dysfunctions associated with SARS-CoV-2 acute infection have been extensively described since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemics. Conversely, few data are available on occurrence thyroid autoimmunity after resolution. We assessed prevalence autoimmune disease (ATD) and in survivors three months hospital admission.Single-center, prospective, observational, cohort study performed at ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital, Bergamo, Italy. 599 were prospectively evaluated for function...

Prevention of infections is crucial in solid organ transplant (SOT) candidates and recipients. These pa-tients are exposed to an increased infectious risk due previous insufficiency pharmaco-logic immunosuppression. Besides infectious-related morbidity mortality, this vulnerable group patients also the acute decompensation rejection or failure pre- post-transplant period respectively, since antimicrobial treatments less effective than immunocompetent patients. Vaccination represents a major...

We report safety and tolerability of raltegravir (RAL) as a forth HIV agent in two highly viraemic newborns. Raltegravir (6 mg/kg) was given orally twice daily. The other antiretrovirals were assumed according to standard dose for first baby born at week 36. An antiretroviral therapy consisting zidovudine, lamivudine, lopinavir/ritonavir started 96 hour after delivery. added 120, being plasma HIV-1 RNA above 10×106 copies/ml. declined 5·000 copies/ml day 30. second 40.

Abstract Background Recovery from acute COVID-19 may be slow and incomplete: cases of Post-Acute Sequelae COVID (PASC) are counted in millions, worldwide. We aimed to explore if how the pre-existing Socio-economic-status (SES) influences such recovery. Methods analyzed a database 1536 consecutive patients first wave Italy (February-September 2020), previously admitted our referral hospital, followed-up dedicated multidisciplinary intervention. excluded those seen earlier than 12 weeks (the...
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reduced Disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalizations in people at risk of clinical worsening. Real-world descriptions are limited.
The long-term effects of an intensified induction regimen are unknown. In this pilot, randomized, prospective study we evaluate the effect a short-term four-drugs in patients with high baseline viral load.Naive HIV-RNA>100.000 copies/ml receiving TDF+FTC+EFV+RAL (group ER) for 4 months and were then simplified to TDF+FTC+EFV. Two randomized control groups treated ab-initio TDF+FTC+EFV (E) or TDF+FTC+RAL (R) used.19 mean age 38 years CD4 count 334 (SD 216) cells/mcL HIV-RNA 5.47 log 0.32)...
