    Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, immunosuppressed patients showed prolonged SARS-CoV-2 infections, with several studies reporting the accumulation of mutations in the viral genome. The weakened immune system present in these individuals, along with the effect of antiviral therapies, are thought to create a favourable environment for intra-host viral evolution and have been linked to the emergence of new viral variants which strongly challenged containment measures and some therapeutic treatments. To assess whether impaired immunity could lead to the increased instability of viral genomes, longitudinal nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from eight immunocompromised patients and fourteen non-immunocompromised subjects, all undergoing SARS-CoV-2 infection. Intra-host viral evolution was compared between the two groups through deep sequencing, exploiting a probe-based enrichment method to minimise the possibility of artefactual mutations commonly generated in amplicon-based methods, which heavily rely on PCR amplification. Although, as expected, immunocompromised patients experienced significantly longer infections, the acquisition of novel intra-host viral mutations was similar between the two groups. Moreover, a thorough analysis of viral quasispecies showed that the variability of viral populations in the two groups is comparable not only at the consensus level, but also when considering low-frequency mutations. This study suggests that a compromised immune system alone does not affect SARS-CoV-2 within-host genomic variability.

    Abstract Background: Cardiometabolic health has become crucial, especially for women with HIV (WWH). We assessed the achievement of targets for hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes (H/Dy/DT) in primary prevention in a WWH cohort.
    Methods: Cross-sectional analysis including all WWH in our clinic, excluding those who had a myocardial infarction. H/Dy/DT achievement was assessed by both EACS guidelines and individual cardiovascular risk, CVR (measured by ESC calculator), using logistic regression to evaluate differences in H/Dy/DT achievement between migrant and Italian women.
    Results: We included 292 WWH, 55.5% Italian and 44.5% migrant women; the median age was 50 (IQR:42-58) years, 94.5% had undetectable HIV-RNA, 55.1% had a high level of education, 27.1% were smokers, and 19.2% did regularly physical exercise. Overall, 76%, 19%, and 5% of women presented a low, a high, and a very high CVR, respectively. Among Italians, 28.4% and 6.2% women presented a high and a very high CVR, respectively. Considering migrants, 7.7% and 3.8% women presented a high and a very high CVR, respectively. Overall, among migrant women, those with a high CVR were more likely to be not at target than those with a low risk (especially for LDL-c and blood pressure among people on treatment), despite the fact that we did not detect a statistically significant difference. By contrast, migrants were more likely to achieve glycemic targets than Italians (
    Conclusions: H/Dy/DT target achievement is suboptimal, especially in migrants. A more aggressive pharmacological treatment, also assessing adherence to medical prescriptions, and promotion of healthy lifestyle should be urgently implemented, possibly redrawing the current model of care.

    Abstract Vaccination with an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine determines not only a consistent reduction in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection but also contributes to disease attenuation in infected people. Of note, hyperinflammation and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) have been clearly associated with severe illness and poor prognosis in COVID-19 patients. In this report, we revealed a significant reduction in the levels of IL-1ß and DAMPs molecules, as S100A8 and High Mobility Group Protein B1 (HMGB1), in vaccinated patients as compared to non-vaccinated ones. COVID-19 vaccination indeed prevents severe clinical manifestations in patients and limits the release of systemic danger signals in SARS-CoV-2 infected people.

    Abstract Abstract: By increasing life expectancy of people living with HIV, the most clinical challenge is managing both drug-to-drug interactions and comorbidities (especially metabolic). Doravirine (DOR), a new non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, recently approved for the treatment of HIV, could be a good companion of dolutegravir (DTG) in a dual regimen for experienced elderly patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy.We herein report our preliminary experience in a small cohort of elderly patients (>50 years of age) with multimorbidity and on polypharmacy who were switched to DOR/DTG dual regimen and followed-up for 3 months. The study was conducted at the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Unit of Padua University Hospital, Italy.Eighteen patients were included, 72.2% males and 27.8% postmenopausal women, mean age was of 61.3 years (7.6), 50% experienced AIDS events. Switches to DOR and DTG were mainly due to high cardiovascular and metabolic risk (72.2%), and interactions among comedications (50%). Antiretrovirals that subjects were switched off were mostly boosted protease inhibitors 66.7%. We observed a viral suppression among all subjects. Interestingly, we observed a statistically significant reduction in body mass index, body weight and waist circumference, eGFR, and a significant increase in serum creatinine levels. No significant changes in CD4+ T cell count was observed from the baseline. Lipid and fasting glucose values did not change significantly.To the best of our knowledge this is the first experience reporting real-life outcome of switch to DTG + DOR in elderly with multimorbidity and on polypharmacy. From our very preliminary data the dual combination of DTG and DOR could be a good treatment strategy for these subjects. However, our findings need to be validated on a greater number of patients.
