AbstractPediatricians have observed a significant decrease in in-person child health visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the post lockdown period, the coronavirus trend remains positive in Italy but fears of a second wave have recently grown in Italy due to active hotbeds of contagion. The pandemic may negatively affect the care of pediatric patients and overall children welfare as it may present with severe signs and symptoms or it may complicate. The Italian Pediatric Society recommend to separate well visits from sick ones, to educate families and to promote hygienic strategies to provide an adequate pediatric assistance in case of a second pandemic wave.

La infección por Ss suele ser asintomática o manifestarse por síntomas predominantemente digestivos, y en los casos de hiperinfestación produce una estrongiloidiasis diseminada con sobreinfecciones bacterianas sistémicas que provocan una disfunción multiorgánica con resultado letal.

At the end of 2019, a series of patients affected by lung infection of initially unknown aetiology with clinical presentations very similar to viral pneumonia were registered in China.

Cytomegalovirus and inflammatory bowel disease: Is there a link?
2006
The objective of this report is to give an overall view of the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

CMV is frequently associated with IBD. In some cases, CMV infection is associated with a poor outcome but it is not clear which patients are more likely to be affected and in which stage of the disease. The use of anti-viral therapy in IBD is controversial and an empirical study with controls is needed. The natural histor…
