Disseminated Mycobacterium chimaera infection favoring the development of Kaposi's sarcoma: a case report.
Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob
December 2022
Infectious Diseases, IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Disseminated Mycobacterium chimaera infection is a rising concern for patients who have had cardiothoracic surgery, often presenting with atypical symptoms.
- A case of a 74-year-old man revealed unusual symptoms like fever and purple nodules, along with a history of heart surgery; further tests identified both M. chimaera and Kaposi's sarcoma.
- The case highlights the necessity of considering M. chimaera as a potential cause of unexplained fevers in post-surgical patients, even when initial tests are negative, and suggests it may weaken the immune system, leading to other infections.
Characteristics and risk factors of isolated and quarantined children and adolescents during the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: A cross-sectional study in Modena, Northern Italy.
Acta Biomed
October 2021
CREAGEN-Environmental, Genetic and Nutritional Epidemiology Research Center, Department of Biomedical, Metabolic and Neural Sciences, Section of Public Health, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy.
Background And Aim: In early 2020, SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the WHO and Italy was one of the first and most severely affected country in Europe. Despite the global interest about COVID-19 pandemic, several aspects of this infection are still unclear, especially in pediatric population. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of the isolated or quarantined children and adolescents followed by the Public Health Department of the Italian province of Modena during the first wave of COVID-19.

Department of Urology, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Integrata of Verona, University of Verona, Italy.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the safety of elective urological surgery performed during the pandemic by estimating the prevalence of COVID-19-like symptoms in the postoperative period and its correlation with perioperative and clinical factors.
Material And Methods: In this multicenter, observational study we recorded clinical, surgical and postoperative data of consecutive patients undergoing elective urological surgery in 28 different institutions across Italy during initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (between February 24 and March 30, 2020, inclusive).
Results: A total of 1943 patients were enrolled.
Estimating asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in a geographic area of low disease incidence.
BMC Infect Dis
April 2021
Department of Molecular Medicine and Medical Biotechnology, University of Napoli Federico II, Via S. Pansini 5, 80131, Naples, Italy.
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 infection has emerged as a rapidly spreading infection. Today it is relatively easy to isolate Covid-19 symptomatic cases, while remains problematic to control the disease spread by infected but symptom-free individuals. The control of this possible path of contagion requires drastic measures of social distancing, which imply the suspension of most activities and generate economic and social issues.

Objectives: Following the public-health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 30 January 2020 and the recent outbreak caused by 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) [officially renamed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)] in China and 29 other countries, we aimed to summarise the clinical aspects of the novelBetacoronavirus disease (COVID-19) and its possible clinical presentations together with suggested therapeutic algorithms for patients who may require antimicrobial treatment.
Methods: The currently available literature was reviewed for microbiologically confirmed infections by 2019-nCoV or COVID-19 at the time of writing (13 February 2020). A literature search was performed using the PubMed database and Cochrane Library.
