    Abstract Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a rare disorder characterized by primary antibody deficiency leading to hypogammaglobulinemia and increased risk of infections. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an unusual complication of CVID and may be associated with chronic hypoxemic respiratory failure. We described the case of a 47-year-old female patient hospitalized with worsening dyspnea, which had emerged about 10 days before and was associated with productive cough. 26 years before, she was diagnosed with common variable hypogammaglobulinemia, that was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin infusions for at least 20 years. She had suffered from recurrent secondary infections of the respiratory tract with inveterate bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, and chronic respiratory failure. This case suggests that Internal Medicine wards, due to their global vision of the patient, are well suited to manage subjects with serious, complex, and genetically determined pathologies.

    Abstract We describe the case of a 53-year-old man, recently diagnosed with decompensated type II diabetes mellitus, admitted to our Department for fever, asthenia, and detection of multiple lung abscesses and pulmonary embolism at chest tomography. His clinical history revealed just a recent orthopedic surgery of osteosynthesis on the left wrist with normal clinical and instrumental post-surgical evolution. Empirical antibiotic therapy with piperacillin/tazobactam and clindamycin was initiated. During hospital stay, swelling and functional impotence in the right knee occurred. They were investigated by arthrocentesis and magnetic resonance, and diagnosed as septic arthritis. Blood culture performed at admission tested positive for Citrobacter koseri on several samples where meropenem was added according to antibiogram. On the other hand, the cultures of bronchoaspirate, pulmonary fine needle aspiration, and arthrocentesis were negative. Antibiotic therapy was administered up to two weeks after discharge and radiological and physical features progressively improved.

    Abstract A young woman presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain exacerbated by movement and breathing. Extensive evaluation revealed no gallstones or any other specific cause. Urine polymerase chain reaction results for Chlamydia trachomatis were positive, so the clinical diagnosis of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome was confirmed. This type of localized peritonitis is thought to be a complication of an ascending genital infection leading to pelvic inflammatory disease. The diagnosis is established on clinical grounds after excluding alternative, more common conditions. Proper antibiotic treatment usually leads to recovery and prevents long-term complications.

    Abstract The epidemic phase of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) made the Worldwide health system struggle against a severe interstitial pneumonia requiring high-intensity care settings for respiratory failure. A rationalisation of resources and a specific treatment path were necessary. The study suggests a predictive model drawing on clinical data gathered by 119 consecutive patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 admitted in Busto Arsizio hospital. We derived a score that identifies the risk of clinical evolution and in-hospital mortality clustering patients into four groups. The study outcomes have been compared across the derivation and validation samples. The prediction rule is based on eight simple patient characteristics that were independently associated with study outcomes. It is able to stratify COVID-19 patients into four severity classes, with in-hospital mortality rates of 0% in group 1, 6-12.5% in group 2, 7-20% in group 3 and 60-86% in group 4 across the derivation and validation sample. The prediction model derived in this study identifies COVID-19 patients with low risk of in-hospital mortality and ICU admission. The prediction model that the study presents identifies COVID-19 patients with low risk of in-hospital mortality and admission to ICU. Moreover, it establishes an intermediate portion of patients that should be treated accurately in order to avoid an unfavourable clinical evolution. A further validation of the model is important before its implementation as a decision-making tool to guide the initial management of patients.

    Abstract C1 inhibitor (C1-INH, also known as SERPING1) can be deficient in plasma as a result of genetic or acquired conditions, and this causes an episodic, local increase in vascular permeability in the subcutaneous and submucosal layers, identified as angioedema (hereditary or acquired). Bradykinin, the mediator of the increase in vascular permeability, is released on inappropriate activation of the contact system, which is controlled by C1 inhibitor. Therapy aims to reverse or prevent angioedema. Advances in understanding the complex effects of C1-INH deficiency at the molecular level have led to new molecular-targeted approaches. Three new treatments, an inhibitor of kallikrein to prevent bradykinin release, an antagonist of the bradykinin receptor to prevent its action and a recombinant human C1-INH produced in transgenic animals, are under clinical evaluation currently. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms underlying angioedema due to C1-inhibitor deficiency and clinical progress using molecular-targeted interventions.
