Abstract Syphilis is a multisystem infection caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum . A 63-year-old man admitted to the hospital with chest pain and rashes on the chest wall and hands for 14 days. Thorax computed tomography revealed multiple nodular shadows in the bilateral lower lobes of the lung. Skin lesions were considered compatible with secondary syphilis. The antibody test for syphilis was positive. Screening for other associated sexually transmitted diseases (serology for HIV, hepatitis C, and hepatitis B) was negative. A specific therapy with crystallized penicillin G 2.4 MIU was applied. The key features for secondary syphilis diagnosis were positive serologic tests for syphilis and complete recovery on thorax computed tomography after antisyphilitic treatment. Pulmonary involvement in secondary syphilis is considered a rare occurrence.
梅毒是由梅毒螺旋体引起的多系统感染。一名63岁男子因胸痛和胸壁及手部皮疹入院14天。胸部计算机断层扫描显示双侧肺下叶多发结节影。皮肤病变被认为与继发性梅毒相容。梅毒抗体试验呈阳性。其他相关性传播疾病筛查(艾滋病毒、丙型肝炎和乙型肝炎血清学)呈阴性。采用结晶青霉素g2.4 MIU特异性治疗。继发性梅毒诊断的关键特征是梅毒血清学试验阳性,抗梅毒治疗后胸部计算机断层扫描完全恢复。继发性梅毒累及肺部被认为是罕见的。

Abstract Background Hyperglycemia is one of the most important independent risk factors that affect the prognosis and outcome of COVID-19 patients. Coronavirus disease 2019 infection is associated with poor glycemic control. This study's objectives were to determine the effect of hyperglycemia on the prognosis and outcome of COVID-19 patients and to detect whether COVID-19 infection can induce new-onset diabetes. Patients and Methods This cohort study was carried out on 240 hospitalized Egyptian COVID-19 patients, at Zagazig University Hospital isolation intensive care unit, between March 2020 and March 2021. They compared patients with diabetes and uncontrolled hyperglycemia against each other and COVID-19 patients without diabetes or uncontrolled hyperglycemia. Baseline demographic data, clinical features, and laboratory analysis were collected. Clinical outcome was evaluated via hospital stay and survival rate. Patients with uncontrolled hyperglycemia and nondiabetic patients were followed up 1 year after the hospital discharge to detect the development of new-onset diabetes. Result The diabetic group had the highest creatinine level, and the nondiabetic group had a minor C-reactive protein and D-dimer. The difference is significant between diabetic and nondiabetic groups concerning hospital stay. The nondiabetic group had the shortest hospital stay. There is a statistically substantial relationship between mortality and the glycosylated hemoglobin, serum creatinine, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, and serum ferritin. A total of 46.6% of survivors in the uncontrolled hyperglycemic group and 3.4% in the nondiabetic group developed diabetes mellitus during follow-up. There is a statistically significant relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus and D-dimer. Conclusions Coronavirus disease 2019 can induce diabetes mellitus in vulnerable patients (presented with uncontrolled hyperglycemia at admission). In addition, COVID-19 patients with diabetes or uncontrolled hyperglycemia have worse outcomes and poor prognoses.
背景高血糖是影响COVID-19患者预后和转归的重要独立危险因素之一。2019冠状病毒感染与血糖控制不良有关。本研究的目的是确定高血糖对COVID-19患者预后和转归的影响,并检测COVID-19感染是否会诱发新发糖尿病。患者和方法本队列研究于2020年3月至2021年3月期间在扎加齐格大学医院隔离重症监护病房住院的240名埃及COVID-19患者进行。他们将糖尿病和未控制的高血糖患者与没有糖尿病或未控制的高血糖的COVID-19患者进行比较。收集基线人口统计数据、临床特征和实验室分析。通过住院时间和生存率评估临床结果。未控制的高血糖患者和非糖尿病患者出院后随访1年,观察新发糖尿病的发展情况。结果糖尿病组肌酐水平最高,非糖尿病组有少量的c反应蛋白和d -二聚体。糖尿病组与非糖尿病组住院时间差异有统计学意义。非糖尿病组住院时间最短。死亡率与糖化血红蛋白、血清肌酐、c反应蛋白、d -二聚体和血清铁蛋白之间存在统计学上的显著关系。在随访期间,不受控制的高血糖组中46.6%的幸存者和非糖尿病组中3.4%的幸存者发生了糖尿病。新发糖尿病与d -二聚体的相关性有统计学意义。结论2019冠状病毒病可诱发易感患者(入院时血糖未控制)发生糖尿病。此外,患有糖尿病或未控制的高血糖的COVID-19患者预后更差,预后较差。

Abstract An increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with COVID-19 infection has been well documented, particularly in critically ill-hospitalized patients. The presence of cancer, in addition to several anticancer treatments, can further elevate the risk of VTE. The following case reports describe an increased risk of extensive thrombosis that can be seen with COVID-19 infection in cancer patients. We report 3 cases of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis in cancer patients with COVID-19 infection. All 3 cases are unique with the timeline of COVID-19 infection and diagnosis of VTE. The current pandemic has alerted the clinician to the potential increased risk for thrombus formation in cancer patients with COVID-19, even days to months after acute infection.
已经有充分的证据表明,COVID-19感染会增加静脉血栓栓塞(VTE)的风险,特别是在危重住院患者中。癌症的存在,加上一些抗癌治疗,可以进一步提高静脉血栓栓塞的风险。以下病例报告描述了癌症患者感染COVID-19后广泛血栓形成的风险增加。我们报告3例癌症患者合并COVID-19感染并发肺栓塞和深静脉血栓形成。这3例病例在COVID-19感染时间和VTE诊断方面均具有独特性。当前的大流行提醒临床医生,即使在急性感染后几天到几个月,COVID-19癌症患者形成血栓的风险也可能增加。

Abstract Ophthalmic manifestation in Microsporidium spp. was observed in this patient having experienced decreased vision at the right eye for 1 month. The patient worked as an organic farmer. She was at risk because of exposure to water while watering plants. The confocal microscopy performed on the right eye showed marked dendritic cells. The corneal biopsy was proven by tiny dot-like organisms in acid-fast stain and modified acid-fast stain. In addition, the positive polymerase chain reaction test result for Microsporidium spp. supported the diagnosis. The patient was treated with an intensive course of topical biguanides, antimicrobial agents, and penetrating keratoplasty.
摘要本例患者右眼视力下降1个月,观察到小孢子虫的眼部表现。病人是一名有机农场主。她在给植物浇水时接触到了水,因此处于危险之中。右眼共聚焦显微镜显示有明显的树突状细胞。在抗酸染色和改良抗酸染色中,角膜活检证实有微小的点状生物。此外,微孢子虫聚合酶链反应阳性结果支持诊断。患者接受了一个强化疗程的外用双胍类药物、抗菌药物和穿透性角膜移植术。

Abstract Nocardia spp are an uncommon cause of central nervous system infections and particularly endophthalmitis. In this case report, we present the first documented case of endogenous Nocardia paucivorans endophthalmitis and subretinal abscesses. We also provide a brief summary of the literature regarding ocular and cerebral nocardiosis. Early diagnosis and management improve outcomes; hence, clinicians should be cognizant of Nocardia infection as a differential diagnosis in cases of cerebral abscess or endophthalmitis, including in the immunocompetent.

Introduction Neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (NmAbs) are a treatment option in patients with early SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this study, we examined the role of NmAbs therapies in a cohort of patients affected by nosocomial COVID-19 infection and high risk of illness progression. Methods A retrospective, single-center analysis was performed including all patients affected by nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 infection receiving NmAbs treatment between April 2021 and March 2022. Results The overall included patients were 75. Mortality rate was 13.3%; disease progression was observed in 22 patients (29.3%); clinical improvement was reported in 49 subjects (65.3%). In multivariate logistic regression, the presence of immunosuppression risk factor and late administration of therapies were recognized as independent predictors of treatment failure. Conclusions In this real-world analysis, the treatment with NmAbs was safety and effectiveness in high-risk patients with nosocomial COVID-19 infection, but the timing of administration and the role of viral variants are the main limiting factors of this approach.
中和单克隆抗体(nmab)是早期SARS-CoV-2感染患者的一种治疗选择。在这项研究中,我们研究了nmab治疗在医院感染COVID-19和疾病进展高风险患者队列中的作用。方法对2021年4月至2022年3月期间接受nmab治疗的所有院内感染SARS-CoV-2患者进行回顾性单中心分析。结果共纳入75例患者。死亡率为13.3%;22例(29.3%)患者出现疾病进展;49例(65.3%)患者临床改善。在多变量logistic回归中,免疫抑制危险因素的存在和治疗的晚期给药被认为是治疗失败的独立预测因素。结论在现实世界的分析中,nmab治疗院内感染的高危患者是安全有效的,但给药时间和病毒变异的作用是该方法的主要限制因素。

Abstract Peritoneal tuberculosis (PT) is the most common form of abdominal tuberculosis. Diagnosis of PT can be difficult because of vague clinical symptoms, insidious onset, limitations of available diagnostic tests, and variable imaging findings. Early and timely diagnosis and treatment are important in preventing morbidity and mortality in PT. In this review, we summarize the current literature on presentation, diagnosis, and management of PT.
摘要腹膜结核(PT)是最常见的腹部结核形式。由于临床症状不明确、发病隐匿、现有诊断检查的局限性以及不同的影像学表现,PT的诊断可能很困难。早期和及时的诊断和治疗对于预防PT的发病率和死亡率至关重要。在这篇综述中,我们总结了目前关于PT的表现、诊断和治疗的文献。
