Article Abstract
Contact with animals in pediatric oncohematologic patients is associated with many benefits, but the risk of contracting zoonoses, even if low, must be considered by clinicians. In order to assess the awareness about this topic, we surveyed the Italian pediatric oncohematology centers, which resulted in heterogeneous responses. The Infectious Diseases Working Group and the Nurse Working Group of the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, together with veterinarians from the National Federation of Italian Veterinarians, drew up a consensus document to unify the indications to be given to families with the aim of guaranteeing a safe interaction between patients and animals and improving the collaboration of clinicians with veterinarians and families.

Patient age might influence donor selection priorities in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT), due to the differences in donor age, organ function, and resistance to graft-versus-host disease between younger and older patients. We compared the transplant outcomes among human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donors (M-RDs, n=4,106), HLA 1-antigen-mismatched related donors (1MM-RDs, n=592), HLA 2-3-antigen-mismatched related donors (23MM-RDs, n=882), HLA-matched unrelated donors (M-UDs, n=3,927), HLA 1-locus-mismatched unrelated donors (1MM-UDs, n=2,474), and unrelated cord blood units (U-CBs, n=5,867) between patients aged.

Aim: Globally, tuberculosis incidence shows notable sex disparity, with higher rates observed in males. While this pattern is well documented in adults from high-incidence countries, the influence of sex on tuberculosis incidence in children and adolescents, particularly in low-incidence settings, remains unclear. This study investigated sex-specific tuberculosis incidence rates across all age groups, focusing on adolescents, in a low-incidence country.

Biofilms-microbial communities encased in a self-produced extracellular matrix-pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their association with chronic infections and antibiotic resistance. Their formation in the human body is governed by a complex interplay of biological and environmental factors, including the biochemical composition of bodily fluids, fluid dynamics, and cell-cell and cell-surface interactions. Improving therapeutic strategies requires a deeper understanding of how host-specific conditions shape biofilm development.

Background: Changes to the calculation of the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) have lowered the KDPI of hepatitis C (HCV+) donor kidneys; therefore, increasing the proportion of pediatric-prioritized kidneys that are HCV+. We aimed to study consent rates for HCV+ kidneys among pediatric kidney transplant candidates.
Methods: We identified pediatric candidates waitlisted from 2019 to 2024 and excluded those who received a living donor transplant.
