Nephrotic Syndrome Complicated with Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia in an Infant: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review
CONCLUSIONS: This case report is the first documenting familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia in a child with primary nephrotic syndrome and delineates the familial pedigree. While familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia is infrequent, our findings affirm its generally benign nature. A critical aspect of patient care involves monitoring for potential complications, including acute pancreatitis or chondrocalcinosis. The indispensability of genetic studies in both diagnosis and the differentiation of related conditions is underscored, emphasizing their pivotal role in enhancing our understanding of this rare yet clinically signif...

Lamivudine plus dolutegravir as a switch strategy in children: three case reports
We present three case reports of three children enrolled in the Italian Register for HIV Infection in Children: a 9-year-old boy, a 10-year-old girl, and a 2-year-old girl with perinatally acquired HIV who immediately started antiretroviral therapy with a three-drug regimen upon diagnosis, which occurred at delivery, after 6 months of life, and after 2 years of life, respectively. They achieved and maintain virological suppression after 1, 6, and 7 months of therapy, respectively; then a switch strategy was performed with a two-drug regimen with DTG/3TC STR at the age of 7 years for the first child and at the age of 9 year...
