Referral of patients with a new infection was obtained by capture\u2010recapture methods in hospital databases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>During the 7\u2010year observation, we collected 13\u00a0117 admittances for 9154 patients.

A total of 644 (7.0%) people with at least one infection were diagnosed. Among these, the most common was syphilis (41.9%), followed by HBV<\/jats:styled-content> (25.7%), HCV<\/jats:styled-content> (21.4%) and HIV<\/jats:styled-content> (10.9%). Syphilis occurred predominantly in Italians (72.5%) and males (75.7%), as like as HCV<\/jats:styled-content>, while foreign\u2010born (85.5%) mainly harboured HBV<\/jats:styled-content> infection. HIV<\/jats:styled-content> diagnosis was detected more frequently among males (67.1%) with a similar proportion between Italians and foreign\u2010born.
