    Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of AIS and AC in the histological cone of women treated for CIN3. Furthermore, through the study of the specific HR HPV genotypes, we obtained more information on the possible different nature between the single CIN3 lesion and the CIN3 coexisting with the glandular lesion.
    Methods: A sample of 414 women underwent LEEP for CIN3. The study sample consisted of 370 women with a CIN3 lesion alone and 44 women with a CIN3 lesion coexisting with AIS or adenocarcinoma. We studied the individual HR HPV genotypes and their frequency in the two groups under study. Furthermore, the therapeutic results and follow-ups for the population were studied on the entire study sample.
    Results: In patients with a single CIN3 lesion, 11 high-risk genotypes were detected; in patients with CIN3 associated with AIS or AC, only 4 different genotypes were detected (16, 18, 45, 33). Overall, the frequency of HPV 18 was significantly higher in CIN3 coexisting with AIS compared to solitary CIN3 lesions, χ2 = 27.73 (
    Conclusion: A relatively high rate (10.7%) of AIS-AC was found in women treated for CIN3. Our study confirms the multifocal biological nature of the CIN3 lesion coexisting with AIS compared to the single CIN3 lesion. All this justifies the different treatments to which CIN3 lesions coexisting with AIS are addressed; in fact, the latter are treated with hysterectomy, while CIN3 is treated with conization alone.

    Title translation Clinical, virological and epidemiological aspects of acute B hepatitis in the Catania area (Italy).
    Abstract Starting from January 1997 we prospectively evaluated all cases of acute hepatitis B admitted to two of the main Infectious Diseases Units in Catania (eastern Sicily). The survey was extended throughout a 10-year period up to December 2007. Between 1997 and 1999 we observed 21 cases of acute hepatitis B; between 2000 and 2002 18 cases; between 2003 and 2005 22 cases and, finally, 37 cases were reported in the period 2006-2007. We found an increase in acute hepatitis B cases among people aged 26 to 44 years (from 38% in 1997-99 to 70% in 2006-07). A progressive decrease in intravenous drug abuse as a risk factor for acute hepatitis B was also observed (from 61% to 14%) together with a parallel increase in cases due to sexual transmission (from 19% to 56%) and outpatient cosmetic surgical procedures. Mean time to serum HBsAg negativization was longer in the last period (2006-07), with 6 cases out of 37 showing HBsAg persistence beyond 12 months from the clinical onset. Furthermore, in 2006-07 there were 12 cases (42%) of acute hepatitis due to HBV genotypes A and F. In our area, a progressive drop of hepatitis B cases due to intravenous drug abuse occurred, whereas heterosexual and iatrogenic cases increased. Cases due to HBV non-D genotypes may well be related to migration from endemic areas towards Sicily.
