    Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the leading cause of chronic viral hepatitis. Annually, almost two million children younger than 5 years acquire the infection, mostly through vertical or horizontal transmission in early life. Vertical transmission of HBV is a high efficacy phenomenon ranging, in the absence of any preventive interventions, from 70% to 90% for hepatitis e antigen positive mothers and from 10% to 40% for hepatitis e antigen-negative mothers. Maternal viraemia is a preeminent risk factor for vertical transmission of HBV. Maternal screening is the first step to prevent vertical transmission of HBV. Hepatitis B passive and active immunoprophylaxis at birth together with antiviral treatment of highly viraemic mothers are the key strategies for global elimination of HBV infection. Strategies are needed to promote implementation of birth-dose vaccination and hepatitis B immunoglobulins in low- and middle-income countries where the prevalence of the infection is at the highest.

    Abstract The management of perinatal HIV infection in preterm infants is hampered by the lack of evidence informing optimal antiretroviral treatment for these vulnerable newborns. We present a case of an extremely preterm infant with HIV infection treated immediately with a 3-drug antiretroviral regimen and achieving stable suppression of HIV plasma viral load.

    Abstract There is increasing evidence that black people and other minorities have a higher incidence of severe COVID-19 disease, but little is known about the situation of children, especially in Europe. In general children are less infected and if so, frequently show mild or asymptomatic disease, making conclusions difficult. We collected data on SARS-CoV-2 associated hospitalizations in a well-defined population of 550,180 children up to 15 years in five hub-centers during the "first wave" at the heart of the pandemic in Northern Italy. Among the 451,053 Italian citizens 80 were hospitalized as compared to 31 out of 99,127 foreign citizens, giving a significantly higher risk (odds ratio 1.76; 95% CI: 1.16-2.66) for the foreign children. The risk was highest for children of African ethnicity as compared to Italians with an odds ratio of 2.76 (95% CI: 1.56-4.87). None of the patients deceased. There was no significant difference in age (thou infants regardless of ethnicity had a 10-fold higher risk), sex, length of hospitalization or comorbidities, namely overweight. As bureaucratic, cultural and information barriers mostly affect preventive and adult services and considering that in contrast to other countries, in Italy pediatric care is guaranteed free of (out-of-pocket) charge to all people <16 years, and hospitals are densely spaced, access to health care seems to be a minor problem. Thus, other possible root causes are discussed. We believe that this is an unbiased starting point to understand and overcome the reasons for the higher risk those children experience.

    Abstract Acute otitis media (AOM) and sore throat are common reasons for antibiotic prescription in children. Starting from 2007, evidence-based guidelines and other multifaceted improvement activities (ProBA project) were implemented in Emilia-Romagna, a northern Italian region. Antibiotic prescription rate in the region decreased with time (37% relative reduction from 2005 to 2019). Within the ProBA project, this retrospective observational study, including all hospitals of the region, aims to assess if lower rate of antibiotic prescription was associated with an increased rate of acute mastoiditis and acute rheumatic fever (ARF). Hospital admission rates for acute mastoiditis and ARF from 2005 to 2019 were calculated using ICD-9 codes. Hospital intervention rates for myringotomy, incision of mastoid, and mastoidectomy were also assessed. A comparison with antibiotic prescription rate in the pediatric population was performed. Data were gathered using administrative databases and trends were calculated using Poisson regression. During the study period, rate of mastoiditis and similar diagnosis declined from 54.1 to 33.6 per 100.000 (β coefficient = - 0.047, p value < 0.001) and rate of surgical treatment from 134.6 to 89.6 per 100.000 (β coefficient = - 0.036, p value < 0.001), whereas rate of ARF remained stable at around 4.4-4.8 per 100.000 (β coefficient = - 0.009, p value = 0.472).Conclusion: ProBA project implementation-recommending 5 days of amoxicillin for AOM when needed and 6 days of amoxicillin when streptococcal pharyngitis is detected-was associated with a reduced antibiotic use without an increase of complications. What is Known: • Acute otitis media (AOM) and streptococcal pharyngitis are common pediatric infections and frequent cause of antibiotics prescription. • Fear of rare complications like mastoiditis and acute rheumatic fever can hinder health professionals' compliance with evidence-based guideline. What is New: • Guidelines recommending a short course of antibiotics for AOM and streptococcal pharyngitis are associated with reduced antibiotic prescriptions and no increase of complications. • Analysis based on administrative databases is useful for monitoring projects and supporting health professionals in complying with guidelines.
