A 71-year-old man who was recently hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and severe ARDS requiring noninvasive ventilation was transferred to our hospital from a rehabilitation facility for new onset right wrist and hand pain and swelling which had been attributed to arterial thrombosis and empirically treated with therapeutic anticoagulation. He developed numbness and paralysis in his right hand and was diagnosed with right forearm compartment syndrome requiring emergent fasciotomy. After a prolonged hospital stay complicated by respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, he was discharged with improved, but not resolved, sensorimotor deficits. Arterial blood gas sampling is commonly performed in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, for assessment of oxygenation and acid-base status. It is considered a benign procedure, but it can lead to serious complications, such as bleeding and compartment syndrome. Risks and benefits of any procedure need to be weighed carefully and less is often more. Compartment syndrome is characterized by the 5 P's—pain, pallor, paresthesia, pulselessness, and paralysis.
1例71岁男性近期因COVID-19肺炎合并急性低氧性呼吸衰竭和严重ARDS住院,需要无创通气,因新发右腕和手部疼痛和肿胀,归因于动脉血栓形成,经经验性抗凝治疗,从康复机构转至我院。他的右手出现麻木和麻痹,并被诊断为右前臂筋膜室综合征,需要紧急切开筋膜。在长时间住院并伴有呼吸衰竭需要机械通气后,他出院时感觉运动缺陷有所改善,但没有解决。动脉血气取样通常在急性低氧性呼吸衰竭患者中进行,以评估氧合和酸碱状态。它被认为是一种良性手术,但它会导致严重的并发症,如出血和筋膜室综合征。任何手术的风险和益处都需要仔细权衡,少即是多。室间室综合征的特征是5p -疼痛、苍白、感觉异常、无脉和麻痹。

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) has been reported following vaccinations such as MMR as well as after viral infections such as hepatitis C and HIV. Few case reports have been reported of ITP after COVID-19 infections and COVID-19 vaccines. Herein, we present a patient who presented with severe ITP with a platelet count of 0 after receiving the second dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (also known as the Pfizer BioNTech). She subsequently recovered with a prolonged treatment course.

Introduction Endometriosis is defined as a chronic gynecologic disease which is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in anatomical sites and organs outside the uterine cavity. The exact prevalence of endometriosis is difficult to determine because many women remain asymptomatic. However, endometriosis affects about 10% to 15% of women. Thoracic endometriosis (TES) is the most common endometriosis outside the abdominopelvic cavity. It refers to endometriosis within the thoracic cavity including the lung parenchyma, diaphragm, and pleural surfaces. It can manifest as catamenial chest pain, pneumothorax, hemoptysis, hemothorax, catamenial haemoptysis, and pulmonary nodules. Case Summary. A 39-years-old married female presented with recurrent right-sided chest pain of 22 years duration, recurrent cough of more than 20 years and progressive breathlessness of a month duration. The chest pain is pleuritic, and it often starts few days to the onset of her menses and lasts throughout menstrual flow only to abate after the stoppage of menstrual bleeding. Cough was unproductive, paroxysmal often worse with worsening chest pain. It disappears after the end of menstrual bleed. Breathlessness was initially on mild to moderate exertion before progressing to occasional breathlessness at rest. No history of orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and pedal swelling was found. Over the years, she had presented to several clinics where she was said to have menstrual pain referred to the chest. Conclusion Diagnosis of extrapelvic endometriosis can be challenging and delayed because it presents in a myriad of ways and in some cases, it may be difficult to link symptoms and the menstrual cycle.
子宫内膜异位症是一种慢性妇科疾病,其特征是子宫腔外解剖部位和器官中存在子宫内膜腺体和间质。子宫内膜异位症的确切患病率很难确定,因为许多妇女仍然无症状。然而,子宫内膜异位症影响了大约10%到15%的女性。胸段子宫内膜异位症(TES)是腹腔外最常见的子宫内膜异位症。它是指胸腔内的子宫内膜异位症,包括肺实质、隔膜和胸膜表面。可表现为绒毛性胸痛、气胸、咯血、血胸、绒毛性咯血和肺结节。案例总结。39岁已婚女性,复发性右侧胸痛22年,复发性咳嗽20多年,进行性呼吸困难1个月。胸痛是胸膜炎,通常在月经开始前几天开始,并持续整个月经周期,只有在月经出血停止后才会减轻。咳嗽无效果,阵发性常加重,胸痛加重。月经出血结束后就消失了。呼吸困难最初是在轻度至中度运动时,然后在休息时发展为偶尔呼吸困难。无骨科呼吸、阵发性夜间呼吸困难及足部肿胀史。多年来,她去了几家诊所,据说她的月经疼痛涉及到胸部。结论盆腔外子宫内膜异位症的诊断是具有挑战性和延迟的,因为它以无数的方式呈现,在某些情况下,可能很难将症状与月经周期联系起来。

Acute invasive fungal rhinosinusitis (AIFR) is a life-threatening infection often found in immunocompromised patients. In the COVID-19 era, reports of AIFR have emerged, with high mortality and morbidity rate. This paper presents two cases of COVID-19 associated AIFR with the combined proven fungal etiology of Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus arrhizus in case 1 and Aspergillus fumigatus and Rhizopus arrhizus in case 2. Both patients received liposomal amphotericin B then posaconazole combined with aggressive surgical debridement of necrotic tissues with a favorable clinical outcome. Mixed etiology AIFR can influence the outcome; hence, further studies are required upon this new threat.
急性侵袭性真菌性鼻窦炎(AIFR)是一种危及生命的感染,常见于免疫功能低下的患者。在新冠肺炎时代,出现了AIFR的报道,死亡率和发病率都很高。本文报道了两例与COVID-19相关的AIFR,病例1为黄曲霉和arrhizopus,病例2为烟曲霉和arrhizopus。两例患者均接受两性霉素B脂质体治疗,然后泊沙康唑联合积极的坏死组织手术清创,临床效果良好。混合病因可影响预后;因此,需要对这一新的威胁进行进一步的研究。

Although mycotic (infected) aneurysms are uncommon, they can affect any artery. The most frequently involved vessel is the aorta as well as femoral and cerebral arteries. A vascular-colonic fistula from infected aneurysms is even rarer, which remains a challenge for diagnosis and treatment. In this case report, we aimed to illustrate an 89-year-old man presenting initially with an aneurysm of the right common iliac artery. Forty days later, this lesion was infected and produced fresh blood in the rectum and sigmoid colon observed by colonoscopy. The final diagnosis of this case was a right common iliac artery aneurysm-colonic fistula due to infection. The patient was successfully diagnosed and treated with surgery at our hospital.
虽然真菌性(感染)动脉瘤并不常见,但它们可以影响任何动脉。最常受累的血管是主动脉、股动脉和脑动脉。由感染动脉瘤引起的血管-结肠瘘更为罕见,这对诊断和治疗仍然是一个挑战。在这个病例报告中,我们的目的是描述一个89岁的男性,最初表现为右髂总动脉动脉瘤。40天后,该病变被感染,结肠镜观察到直肠和乙状结肠产生新鲜血液。最终诊断为右髂总动脉动脉瘤-结肠瘘,原因是感染。患者在我院成功诊断并接受手术治疗。

Eosinophilia can be caused by various conditions, parasitic infection being the most common cause. Here, we present a case of a 17-year male who presented with multisystem involvement and eosinophilia. He was later diagnosed to have systemic lupus erythematosus with eosinophilia which is a rare combination. Despite being a diagnostic challenge, these patients can be well managed with immunosuppressive therapy if recognized in time.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular disease characterized by the formation of cutaneous and visceral telangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Multiple organs may be affected, including the nasal mucosa, skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and brain. The following case highlights a unique manifestation of HHT in a patient with a gastrointestinal hemorrhage and epistaxis, resulting in hyperammonemia and diffuse cerebral edema and herniation. Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication in such patients and initiate ammonia-reducing agents early to avoid this devastating consequence.
遗传性出血性毛细血管扩张症(HHT)是一种常染色体显性的血管疾病,其特征是皮肤和内脏毛细血管扩张和动静脉畸形(AVM)的形成。多个器官可能受到影响,包括鼻黏膜、皮肤、肺、胃肠道和大脑。以下病例强调了HHT在胃肠道出血和鼻出血患者中的独特表现,导致高氨血症和弥漫性脑水肿和疝出。临床医生应该意识到这类患者的潜在并发症,并尽早使用氨还原剂以避免这种毁灭性的后果。

Basilar predominant emphysema, or disproportionate emphysematous involvement of the lung bases compared to the apices, is an uncommon radiographic pattern of emphysema traditionally associated with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). We present a case of a 59-year-old female with 41 pack-year tobacco use, Stage IV COPD with supplemental oxygen, and bibasilar predominant emphysema who successfully underwent bronchoscopic lung volume reduction. She presented with recurrent hospitalizations for frequent exacerbations. After lung reduction, the patient displayed improvement in functional status without hospitalizations at the 15-month follow-up. Careful history taking is essential for any patients diagnosed with lower lobe emphysema to elucidate the underlying etiology. This case challenges the notion that basilar emphysema is sensitive or specific for AATD and emphasizes that this pattern of emphysema has a broad differential diagnosis and alternative etiologies should be considered. Our patient was ultimately diagnosed with smoking-related emphysema, with atypical bibasilar involvement. Furthermore, basilar predominant emphysema should be considered a separate entity from its apical predominant counterpart.

基底占位型肺气肿,或与肺顶端不成比例的肺气肿累及肺底部,是一种罕见的肺气肿影像学表现,传统上与α -1抗胰蛋白酶缺乏症(AATD)相关。我们报告一例59岁女性,吸烟41包年,IV期COPD伴补充氧,双基底动脉显性肺气肿,成功行支气管镜肺减容术。患者因病情频繁恶化而反复住院。肺复位后,患者在15个月的随访中显示功能状态改善,无需住院治疗。对于任何诊断为下肺叶肺气肿的患者,仔细的病史记录是必要的,以阐明潜在的病因。该病例挑战了基底肺气肿对AATD敏感或特异性的观念,并强调这种肺气肿模式具有广泛的鉴别诊断和应考虑其他病因。我们的病人最终被诊断为吸烟相关的肺气肿,非典型双基底动脉受累。此外,基底显性肺气肿应被视为与根尖显性肺气肿不同的个体。
