    Abstract Aim: The aim of this review was to summarise the most recent evidence about the use of omics-based techniques as an instrument for a more rapid and accurate characterisation of respiratory tract infections, neurological infections and sepsis in paediatrics.
    Methods: We performed a narrative review using PubMed and a set of inclusion criteria: English language articles, clinical trials, meta-analysis and reviews including only paediatric population inherited to this topic in the last 15 years.
    Results: The examined studies suggest that host gene expression signatures are an effective method to characterise the different types of infections, to distinguish infection from colonisation and, in some cases, to assess the severity of the disease in children.
    Conclusions: 'Omics-based techniques' may help to define the aetiology of infections in paediatrics, representing a useful tool to choose the most appropriate therapies and limit antibiotic resistance.

    Abstract Tracing the profile of pediatric Lyme borreliosis (LB) in Europe is difficult due to the interregional variation in its incidence and lack in notifications. Moreover, the identification of LB can be challenging. This study is an 18-year case series of 130 children and adolescents aged under 18 years referred to the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Unit at L. Sacco Hospital, Milan, with suspicion of LB, between January 2005 and July 2023. The routine serological workup consisted of a two-step process: an initial screening test followed by Western blot (WB). Forty-four (34%) patients were diagnosed with LB. The median age was six years, and 45% were females. Of the children with erythema migrans (EM), 33 (57%) were confirmed as having true EM, and, of these, 4 (12%) were atypical. Ten (23%) patients had early disseminated/late diseases, including facial nerve palsy (

    Abstract Background: Little is known about the neonatal immunologic response to a maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection present during childbirth. Here we analyze a cohort of 75 neonates from SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers.
    Methods: The SARS-CoV-2 infection status was laboratory assessed by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction on nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) in both mothers during childbirth and neonates within 24 hours of life. Immunophenotypes of peripheral blood mononucleated cells and SARS-CoV-2 antispike IgA, IgM and IgG of the newborns were recorded. Ten (13.3%) of 75 neonates had positive NPS for SARS-CoV-2; 17 of 75 (23%) were SARS-CoV-2-IgG seropositive, of which one with positive NPS. All the newborns resulted seronegative for SARS-CoV-2 IgA and IgM and were asymptomatic. Our cohort of newborns was divided into groups according to IgG seropositivity (IgG+/-) and NPS results (NPS+/-).
    Results: The count and proportion of lymphocyte subsets (evaluated measuring CD3, CD4, CD8 and CD19 markers) and of natural killer cells (evaluated by measuring the CD3-/CD16+/CD56+ subset) were all in the normal range, with no statistical differences among groups. We found a significant expansion of the T cell (CD3+) subset in the IgG+ group interpreted as the result of immune effects triggered by trained immunity in these newborns, but a decrease in CD4+ T cells for NPS+ neonates. It is therefore difficult to conclude that the decrease in CD4 can certainly be caused by an infection.
    Conclusions: A maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection resulted in an expansive effect of CD3+ T cells in IgG+ newborns; nonetheless, it seems not to affect structural and functional development of the newborn immune system.

    Abstract Background: Data on the efficacy of three SARS-CoV-2 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine doses and the role of previous SARS-CoV-2-infection in enhancing vaccine immunogenicity in HIV-vertically-infected people living with HIV (PLWH) are limited, as is the duration of vaccine-induced responses.
    Methods: SARS-CoV-2 plasma neutralizing activity (NA) against the European (B.1), Delta (B.1.617.2) and Omicron (B.1.1.529) variants and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) were analyzed in 29 ART-treated young PLWH (mean age 27.9 years) and 30 healthy controls (HC) who received three BNT162b2 vaccine doses. Individuals were stratified based on the presence/absence of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection (infected and vaccinated -SIV-; uninfected and vaccinated -SV-). Analyses were performed before vaccination (T0), 25 days from the second dose (T1), the day the third dose was administered (T2), and 3 months after the third dose (T3).
    Results: In PLWH: i) NA against all variants was higher in SIV compared to SV at T2 and was increased at T3; ii) switched-memory plasmablasts were augmented in SIV alone at T2 and T3; iii) a SARS-CoV-2 specific T cell memory was generated; iv) IFN-γ-secreting CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were boosted at T3 mainly in SV. CMI magnitude was reduced in PLWH compared to HC. Notably, after the third dose of vaccine viremia was unmodified, but CD4 T cell counts were reduced>20% in 3/29 PHLW.
    Conclusion: A third dose of BNT162b2 vaccine induces strong humoral and CMI responses in young ART-treated PLWH independently from a previous SARS-CoV-2 natural infection. The lower magnitude of CMI responses should be considered when planning mRNA vaccine booster doses in PLWH.

    Abstract Congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) is the most common congenital viral infection, with a consistent rate of morbidity, mortality, and long-term sequelae, especially in the case of late diagnosis. Nevertheless, a universal screening for CMV is not currently recommended, and global awareness about this infection, as well as accurate and shared indications on follow-up and treatment, are still lacking. We reviewed data about 59 suspect cCMV cases who referred to our center from 2014 to 2021. We report 41 cases of confirmed cCMV diagnosed at birth, with clinical or radiological abnormalities in 36.6% of them. Other five patients received a late diagnosis and all presented neurological impairment. Twelve patients received therapy with Valganciclovir within the first month of life, with favorable outcome in nine cases. Therapy after the first month of life was attempted in four patients, with improvement in one case. The overall awareness about cCMV infection was 32.6%. Considering our population, maternal serological screening followed by targeted testing of neonates could be an effective strategy. Some aspects of cCMV infection management should be further investigated, such as indication of treatment after the first month of life or in asymptomatic patients. Awareness about the infection should be improved to implement preventive strategies.
