INFEZIONE POLMONARE DA BLASTOSCHIZOMICES CAPITATUS
Geotrichum capitatum, now known as Blastoschizomyces capitatus, can be responsible for several opportunistic infections (systemic infection or localized at lungs, liver, kidney, encephalitis or meningitis) in an immunocompromised host, especially in those patients affected by leukaemia or under immunosuppressive therapies. A 66-year-old woman with polimyosite under steroid and immunosuppressant therapy was hospitalized in ICU for an acute respiratory distress with moderate hypoxaemia and normocapnia. Pulmonary X-ray revealed a bilateral pneumonia. Hypoxaemia became severe 48 hours later and the patient underwent mechanical ventilation and empirical antibiotic therapy. Blood cultures, urine …

[Epidemiology of paediatric tuberculosis today].
Tuberculosis (TB) kills 2 million people each year in the world, of which 250,000 are children. In Italy, paediatric TB is 3.5% of total cases with a steady trend in the last ten years. Childhood tuberculosis remains a disease of great concern because its occurrence always indicates recent transmission and is a pivotal indicator of effectiveness of TB control efforts. The epidemiological study, including DNA fingerprinting, of 71 children affected by TB - 62 pulmonary, 9 meningitis, 2 renal-shows that the source case is frequently a parent or household member. Sensitivity to anti-tubercular drugs was tested for 18/20 isolates obtained from the children and 21/44 isolates obtained from infec…
