The case of a 13-year-old child presenting with persistent headache and occasional vomiting is described. Diplopia and papilledema were observed. Eventually, based on an MRI, the diagnosis of idiopathic pseudotumour cerebri was made, and treatment with acetazolamide was initiated.

The treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with the new directacting antivirals (DAAs) has dramatically modified the natural history of the HCV-related disease, eradicating the virus in over 90% of treated patients, with negligible collateral effects. The high costs of treatment, however, represent a factor that limits patients’ access to therapy and burdens the countries’ healthcare systems. In Italy the estimated cost of treatment for a naïve patient (8/12 weeks) amounts to approximately €5,500 (VAT excluded). HCV liver disease especially affects adults, in Italy the average prevalence of hepatitis C ranges between 2.4% and 3.3% in the general population. The prevalence of hepatitis C in children is significantly lower (0.15%) and the liver disease is rarely progressive in the paediatric age; however, there are not tools capable of interrupting the main route of infection, namely the vertical transmission from the infected mother. The effectiveness and great manageability of these new direct antivirals have also allowed their use in paediatrics starting from three years of age.

Inborn errors of immunity are a rapidly-developing area of clinical study. Based on the description of a small set of disorders with a significant risk of infection that may be identified with a small number of lab tests, the definition has been expanded to include a broader range of diseases that may necessitate a more intricate diagnostic process involving immunological and genetic studies. In this context, the paper presents a compilation of the most prevalent and severe illnesses that should not be overlooked. Additionally, it provides valuable guidance for classifying recently identified conditions, which may manifest as more nuanced and gradual clinical presentations. Prompt identification is es- sential for timely implementation of elective treatments such as bone marrow transplantation or gene therapy in severe instances or for commencing targeted medications that can mitigate present and future hazards in other cases.
