Purpose: To report a rare case of postoperative Acanthamoeba endophthalmites after uncomplicated cataract surgery in an otherwise healthy patient. Case Description: A patient with preexisting glaucoma and CNV in both eyes underwent uneventful cataract surgery (PHACO + IOL + intracamerular cefuroxima) in his right eye. Nine days after surgery, patient presented in eye casualty complaining drop in vision, eye pain and violent diarrhoea. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed and Acanthamoeba protozoa was isolated. Empirical therapy including intravenous voriconazole 2, 5 mg twice a day, a single shot of intravitreal voriconazole 1% in 0,1 ml and topical chlorhexidine 0,02% topical was started immediately. Conclusions: sixteen days from the initial symptoms a complete resolution of the endophthalmites was reported as well as an improvement in the visual acuity. Physicians should be aware of Acanthamoeba infection as a cause of eye infection in any patient, not just contact lens wearers; intravitreal and systemic administration of voriconazole can be successfully used to treat Acanthamoeba endophthalmitis

Hyperhidrosis is a well-documented consequence of spinal cord injuries (SCI). It affects about 25% of the subjects with SCI representing a social problem, a cause of discomfort and a risk for skin breakdown. Here we present two cases of young subjects with a complete spinal cord lesion at thoracic level, who complained of abnormal sweating. In both patients other possible causes of hyperhidrosis were ruled out. Both subjects were put on pharmacological therapy with oral oxybutynin with immediate relief of the sweating. Although oxybutynin is a very well-known drug in the field of SCI and in the field of idiopathic hyperhidrosis, this is the first time that oxybutynin efficacy in abnormal sweating after SCI has been demonstrated.

SARS-CoV-2 has tropism and replicates not only in the respiratory tract but also in extrapulmonary organs, such as heart, kidney, and liver. Clinical reports indicate that kidney involvement is frequent and ranges from mild proteinuria to an advanced acute kidney injury (AKI). Similarly, abnormal liver function parameters are commonly found in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. We describe a recent and unique case of acute renal failure and hepatocellular injury occurring in the course of a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection. A 37-year-old woman presented at ER with a 5-day history of general asthenia, fever, vomiting, and decreased urine output. She reported a positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen test performed 4 days earlier and no other comorbidities. Initial laboratory findings revealed severe renal impairment (sCr 4.57 mg/dl), non-responsive to intravenous diuretic therapy, with a need to start renal replacement therapy (RRT). She presented also with concomitant liver injury (AST/ALT 875/1349 U/L) for which a liver’s biopsy was performed, finding a morphological aspect suggestive of COVID-related microvascular damage. Further hematochemical and microbiological exams were performed to exclude infectious, metabolic, neoplastic, toxic, and autoimmune diseases, confirming the diagnosis of acute renal failure and hepatocellular injury triggered by SARS-COV-2 infection. Liver and kidney function gradually improved and RRT was stopped after three consecutive sessions. Follow-up showed complete recovery of liver and kidney function twenty-eight days after the onset of symptoms. The case illustrates the complex pathophysiology of COVID-19 that frequently may severely involve extrapulmonary organs, without giving respiratory symptoms, like in this patient.

The newly established Task Force of the University Hospital has sought to answer this huge challenge by applying a Hospital Incident Management System (HIMS). Given the lack of knowledge of this new pandemic, the System was created on the basis of previous organizational and structural models present in the literature and adapted to the Covid-19 pandemic.
