Author

MONTAGNA MT, SIGNORILE G, CARROZZINI F., DE DONNO, Maria Antonella, BAGORDO, Francesco, Montagna, Mt, Signorile, G, DE DONNO, Maria Antonella, Bagordo, Francesco, and Carrozzini, F.

Abstract

Groundwater conditions in a Southern Salento area including Corigliano d’Otranto, Castrignano dei Greci and Melpignano have been valued. After a hydrogeologic study and a census of wells present in area, 30 homogeneously distributed wells have been selected. Chemical and microbiological investigations were carried out under seasonal monitoring for one year. Lithostratigraphic composition study revealed an high water layer exposition to concentrated and diffused pollution by the very permeable floors. The chemical-phisical controls showed a positive situation independently from seasonal period whereas microbiological investigation results revealed faecal pollution in 90% of examined wells with seasonal differences.

Abstract

Introduzione: i continui flussi migratori in Puglia hanno posto una serie di problemi sul piano sanitario, inizialmente limitati alla gestione dell’emergenza ma subito estesi alla sorveglianza epidemiologica per la prevenzione di patologie infettive che possono essere importate da queste popolazioni. In tale ambito è stata condotta un’indagine anche sulla presenza di miceti che colonizzano il distretto otorinolaringoiatrico, con particolare riferimento ai funghi dimorfi, recentemente segnalati anche in Medio Oriente ma normalmente endemici in America e Africa.Metodi: l’indagine è stata condotta su un campione di 297 Kurdi, sbarcati ad Otranto (LE), maschi, età 15 - 35 anni (media 23 anni). Ciascun soggetto è stato sottoposto ad una visita otorinolaringoiatrica e al prelievo, mediante tampone sterile, del secreto orofaringeo, nasale e auricolare, per la ricerca di lieviti, muffe e funghi dimorfi.Risultati: dei 297 soggetti esaminati, 70 (23.6%) sono risultati positivi per miceti (45 lieviti, 25 muffe) di cui 36 (51.4%) in sede nasale, 30 (42.9%) in sede orofaringea e 4 (5.7%) in sede auricolare. Tra i lieviti, Candida albicans è risultata la specie più frequente (66.7%), isolata esclusivamente a livello orofaringeo; tra le muffe Penicillium spp. (56%) riscontrato solo a livello nasale. La ricerca di funghi dimorfi è risultata negativa.Conclusioni: la prevalente colonizzazione di muffe a livello nasale e di lieviti a livello orofaringeo conferma la sede di elezione da parte di questi microrganismi. Tuttavia, è interessante sottolineare che in sede nasale il genere Penicillium è risultato predominante rispetto al genere Aspergillus, contrariamente ai dati di letteratura. Inoltre, i funghi dimorfi non sono stati mai isolati anche se l’area geografica di provenienza è stata introdotta tra quelle endemiche per questi miceti. In conclusione, la nostra indagine evidenzia che l’incidenza delle positività per miceti non si discosta da quella tipica di popolazioni ad elevato livello socio sanitario, nonostante le avverse condizioni di viaggio.

Abstract

An investigation about N. meningitidis carriers was carried out in Apulia (Italy) among teen-agers. 85 healthy carriers were identified (1.4%): the 81.2% of isolates resulted polyagglutinable, 3.5% autoagglutinable and 1.2% were not classifiable with antisera. The other strains belonged to serogroup B (9.4%), W135 (2.3%), Y (1.2%) and 29E (1.2%). Some Authors report that non-groupable strains are usually isolated from healthy carriers pharynx. The most recent molecular methods permit to subdivide these bacteria in serotype and serosubtype by membrane protein antigens, too. So, today the only identification as serogroup is not able to study N. meningitidis epidemiology.

Abstract

This study assessed the immune status against diphtheria of a sample of refugees (mainly Kosovars and Kurds) in southern Italy (Puglia). The 54.8% of 1128 subjects showed full protection against diphtheria, 30.1% had basic protection and 15.1% resulted seronegative for antitoxin antibody. Only from 45.9 to 73.9% of 0-10 years old refugees were fully protected while from 12.3 to 24.2% were seronegative to diphtheria with the poorest protection rate among Kurdish children from Turkey. Kosovars showed the highest protection rate to diphtheria whereas data suggest a probable endemic level of diphtheria in Iraq. The screening of refugees revealed a low coverage rate for diphtheria, especially in children, probably due to deterioration of the health service infrastructure or intermittent basic health care in the country of provenience. In terms of public health measures, there is the need of administering booster doses to all refugees coming into Italy and into other host countries to increase the coverage rate against diphtheria. The implementation of the immunization programs against diphtheria in the countries of provenience is also strongly recommended.

Abstract

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of an enterically transmitted viral hepatitis associated with inadequate hygienic conditions. Hepatitis E is endemic in developing countries where it occurs both in sporadic and epidemic form. Outbreaks have been reported in different areas of the world. The aim of the present work was to assess the seroprevalence of HEV infection in the general population and in different risk groups in the area of Lecce. The presence of anti-HEV antibodies was ascertained by qualitative ELISA (Abbott HEV EIA) and Western Blot (Recomblot HEV IgG/IgM, Mikrogen). The prevalence of anti-HEV in the general population was 2.9% while in intravenous drug users, hemodialized patients and immigrants the seroprevalence rates were 0.7%, 4.3% and 15.3% respectively. Our data show a circulation of HEV at low level in the area of Lecce which is endemic for hepatitis A. Higher seroprevalence rates were found in hemodialized patients and remarkably in immigrants coming from endemic areas like Turkey.

Abstract

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of viral hepatitis infections in a sample of Kosovar refugees having arrived in southern Italy as a result of the 1999 war in the Balkans., Methods: The 526 subjects who enrolled on voluntary basis from all age groups were tested for the prevalence of serologic markers for hepatitis virus types A, B, C, D, and E (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HEV)., Results: Among the 526 refugees, the prevalence of total anti-HAV antibodies was 81%. A relevant finding was the presence of total anti-HAV antibodies in 61% of the children up to 10 years of age. The prevalence of anti-HEV antibodies was 2.5% among the subjects. Fifteen subjects (2.9%) were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), whereas 17.5% tested positive for anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc). In children up to 10 years of age, the prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HBc was found to be 0.4% and 6%, respectively. In subjects aged 11 to 20 years, 4.2% tested positive for HBsAg and 20.2% for anti-HBc. In the age group 21 to 30 years, 7.1% of the subjects were found to be HBsAg carriers, whereas 25.9% were found to be positive for anti-HBc. Among the refugees over 30 years of age, the prevalence of HBsAg was 4.2%, whereas anti-HBc was 43.7%. None of the refugees tested positive for anti-HDV. The prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies was 0.7%., Conclusions: The results of this seroepidemiologic study indicate a high circulation of HAV in the Kosovar population, whereas the prevalence of HEV antibodies was low and comparable to that of other European countries. The HBV infection seems to be at an intermediate level of endemicity and an immunization policy against HBV infection, through vaccination of all newborns and children before adolescence, may be advisable. Results of this study indicate that the level of endemicity of HCV infection in the Kosovar population is low.
