Nadia Caccamo,Giuliana Guggino,Simone A. Joosten,Giuseppe Gelsomino,Paola Di Carlo,Lucina Titone,Domenico Galati,Marialuisa Bocchino,Alessandro Matarese,Alfredo Salerno,Alessandro Sanduzzi,Willeke P. J. Franken,Tom H. M. Ottenhoff,Francesco Dieli +13 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that phenotypic and functional signatures of CD4+ T cells may serve as immunological correlates of protection and curative host responses, and be a useful tool to monitor the efficacy of anti‐mycobacterial therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Use of Polymerase Chain Reaction Performed on Peripheral Blood and Bone Marrow Samples for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Visceral Leishmaniasis in HIV-Infected and HIV-Uninfected Patients: A Single-Center, 8-Year Experience in Italy and Review of the Literature
Spinello Antinori,Sara Calattini,Erika Longhi,Giovanna Bestetti,R. Piolini,Carlo Magni,Giovanna Orlando,Marina Gramiccia,Veronica Acquaviva,Antonella Foschi,Stefano Corvasce,Claudia Colomba,Lucina Titone,Carlo Parravicini,Antonio Cascio,Mario Corbellino +15 more
TL;DR: PCR assay is a highly sensitive and specific tool for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in both immunocompetent and Immunocompromised patients and can be reliably used for rapid parasite identification at the species level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Specific CD8 T-Cells in Patients with Active Tuberculosis and in Individuals with Latent Infection
Nadia Caccamo,Giuliana Guggino,Serena Meraviglia,Giuseppe Gelsomino,Paola Di Carlo,Lucina Titone,Marialuisa Bocchino,Domenico Galati,Alessandro Matarese,Jan Nouta,Michèl R. Klein,Alfredo Salerno,Alessandro Sanduzzi,Francesco Dieli,Tom H. M. Ottenhoff +14 more
TL;DR: Different Mycobacterium tuberculosis specific CD8 T-cell phenotypic and functional signatures between subjects which control infection and those who do not (patients with active disease) are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viral gastroenteritis in children hospitalised in Sicily, Italy.
Claudia Colomba,S. De Grazia,Giovanni M. Giammanco,Laura Saporito,Francesco Scarlata,Lucina Titone,Serenella Arista +6 more
TL;DR: Viruses were confirmed in Italy as the most common cause of severe enteric illness in childhood, with rotavirus types G1–G4, which correspond to those included in the rotav virus vaccines being developed, playing the main role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacilli in a neonatal intensive care unit: prominent role of cross transmission.
Caterina Mammina,Paola Di Carlo,D. Cipolla,Mario Giuffrè,Alessandra Casuccio,Vincenzo Di Gaetano,Maria Rosa Anna Plano,Emma D'Angelo,Lucina Titone,Giovanni Corsello +9 more
TL;DR: The emerging picture of this study is that spread of MDRGN in an NICU may be the result of diffuse cross transmission and, consequently, of poor infection control procedures.
