San Gennaro Vesuviano, twenty-six years old. The first symptoms date back to a few days ago when he went to the hospital in Nola. From there he was transferred to Cotugno, specialized in infectious diseases, and the diagnosis was confirmed: tuberculosis. Unlike what happened in the past, this time the roommates were identified quickly.
Prophylaxis can therefore begin: the eight foreigners who live with the young man must now go to the Apicella hospital in Pollena Trocchia to undergo the so-called Mantoux test, which is used to verify whether they are positive for tuberculosis. After the results, further measures will be taken, but even if the young man's housemates have not contracted the disease, they would still be required to repeat the tests in the following three months.
The twenty-six-year-old, however, is not in danger of life: in a few days he will even be able to leave the hospital and return to his job - he said he works as a worker in a tailor's shop in San Gennaro Vesuviano.
