BACKGROUND: Malaria and HIV share the same epidemiological spreading and coinfection may be clinically challenging. In 2019, nearly all malaria cases reported by EU/EEA countries were imported. Severe falciparum malaria is a medical emergency often associated with poor outcome, even when treated with appropriate therapy. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we described an unusual case of a late presenter HIV diagnosis made during the management of a severe falciparum malaria in an Italian traveler returning from Nigeria, who did not take antimalaria prophylaxis. Clinical course was complicated by the occurrence of several superinfections caused by deep immunosuppression, and bilateral subsegmental pulmonary embolism. CONCLUSION: Although critical conditions, malaria prompt diagnosis and treatment, along with HIV diagnosis and the successful treatment of occurred superinfection, resulted in a positive outcome.

“…Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a disease of the central nervous system (CNS), caused by a virus in the Flavivirus genus that is predominantly transmitted to humans by tick bites, or in some cases, alimentary infection through the milk of animals infected with the TBE virus (TBEV) [ 1 , 2 ]. TBE is the most important tick-borne viral disease in Europe, endemic in 27 European countries [ 3 , 4 , 5 ], and represents a considerable disease burden.…”

Recommendations to Improve Tick-Borne Encephalitis Surveillance and Vaccine Uptake in Europe

There has been an increase in reported TBE cases in Europe since 2015, reaching a peak in some countries in 2020, highlighting the need for better management of TBE risk in Europe. TBE surveillance is currently limited, in part, due to varying diagnostic guidelines, access to testing, and awareness of TBE. Consequently, TBE prevalence is underestimated and vaccination recommendations inadequate. TBE vaccine uptake is unsatisfactory in many TBE-endemic European countries. This review summarizes the findings of a scientific workshop of experts to improve TBE surveillance and vaccine uptake in Europe. Strategies to improve TBE surveillance and vaccine uptake should focus on: aligning diagnostic criteria and testing across Europe; expanding current vaccine recommendations and reducing their complexity; and increasing public education of the potential risks posed by TBEV infection.

“…Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a protozoan, a parasitic microorganism of the genus Plasmodium, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Infected mosquitoes are called ''malaria vectors'' and the disease is defined as a vector-borne and zoonotic infection [1].…”

Purpose of reviewCerebral malaria (CM) represents one of the most common and severe complications of Plasmodium falciparum infection, leading to high morbidity and mortality along with challenging sequelae, especially in children. Recent findingsAlthough CM pathogenesis remains unclear due to the few studies made and the difficulty to analyze affected patients, there are valid theories involving P. falciparum endothelium interactions, and clinical manifestations have been better investigated and differentiated between adults and children.
