Chronic Hepatitis C Cascade of Care in Prisoners—Is There Still Some Work to Do? Analysis of Two Large Penitentiaries in Northern Italy
Penitentiaries have a higher burden of communicable diseases compared to the general population. Prisoners should be tested for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and have direct access to treatment. We analysed the HCV cascade of care in two penitentiaries in Brescia, Northern Italy. At admission, prisoners are offered a voluntary screening for HCV, while patients with known infections are tested with an HCVRNA measurement. We performed an observational re…
Does the rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy at HIV diagnosis impact virological response in a real-life setting? A single-centre experience in Northern Italy
Rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been proven efficacious and safe, but more investigations are needed to define feasibility of rapid ART approach in real-life settings.We conducted a retrospective, observational study on newly HIVdiagnosed patients referred to our Infectious Diseases Department from September 1st, 2015, to July 31st, 2019. According to the timing of ART initiation, we distinguished 3 groups of patients (rapid,…
DAA Treatment Failure in a HIV/HBV/HCV Co-Infected Patient Carrying a Chimeric HCV Genotype 4/1b
Approved direct antiviral agent (DAA) combinations are associated with high rates of sustained virological response (SVR) and the absence of a detectable hepatitis C viral load 12-24 weeks after treatment discontinuation. However, a low percentage of individuals fail DAA therapy. Here, we report the case of a HIV/HBV/HCV co-infected patient who failed to respond to DAA pangenotypic combination therapy. The sequencing of NS5a, NS5b, NS3 and core r…
Circulation of Respiratory Viruses in Hospitalized Adults before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Brescia, Italy
Different preventive public health measures were adopted globally to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2, such as hand hygiene and the use of masks, travel restrictions, social distance actions such as the closure of schools and workplaces, case and contact tracing, quarantine and lockdown. These measures, in particular physical distancing and the use of masks, might have contributed to containing the spread of other respiratory viruses that occurs pr…
Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection in adolescents in Northern Italy
The prevalence of C. trachomatis infection among sexually active adolescents in Northern Italy was low, despite a high proportion of students who engage in risky sexual behaviour. No cases of N. gonorrhoeae infection were identified
