Chronic Myeloproliferative Diseases

The article presents a brief review of literature which shows the characteristic of bronchopulmonary and cardiovascular diseases that most often cause secondary absolute hypoxic erythrocytosis. The information about pathogenesis of blood changes at this nosology is given. The principles of differential diagnosis between secondary absolute hypoxic erythrocytosis and chronic myeloproliferative diseases, i.e. polycythemia vera and idiopathic myelofibrosis in erythremia stage are set. As an example three clinical cases of personal experience of the authors are given: 1) the patient who developed hypoxic erythrocytosis against chronic pulmonary heart disease formed due to a combination of COPD and Pickwick syndrome and "sleep apnea"; 2) the patient admitted to hospital initially only in connection with changes in the blood (erythrocytosis) for differential diagnosis and who was revealed to have arteriovenous malformation of the lung vessels; 3) the case of primary pulmonary hypertension diagnosis in a young patient with multiple comorbidities.

Hydroxyurea Therapy

SummaryHydroxyurea (HU) is usually a well tolerated antineoplastic agent and is commonly used in the treatment of chronic myeloproliferative diseases. Dermatological side effects are frequently seen in patients receiving longterm HU therapy. Cutaneous ulcers have been reported occasionally.We report on four patients with cutaneous ulcers whilst on long-term hydroxyurea therapy for myeloproliferative diseases. In all patients we were able to reduce the dose, or stop HU altogether and their ulcers markedly improved. Our observations suggest that cutaneous ulcers should be considered as possible side effect of long-term HU therapy and healing of the ulcers can be achieved not only by cessation of the HU treatment, but also by reducing the dose of hydroxyurea for a limited time.

AbstractObjectivesTo describe challenges in diagnosis and treatment of congenital neonatal gangrene lesions associated with history of maternal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.Case presentationA preterm neonate was born with upper extremity necrotic lesions and a history of active maternal COVID-19 infection. The etiology of his injury was challenging to deduce, despite extensive hypercoagulability work-up and biopsy of the lesion. Management, including partial forearm salvage and hand amputation is described.ConclusionsNeonatal gangrene has various etiologies, including compartment syndrome and intrauterine thromboembolic phenomena. Maternal COVID-19 can cause intrauterine thrombotic events and need to be considered in a differential diagnosis.

Diagnostic Work Up

Cough is one of the most common causes of seeking the primary medical care, especially during the autumn and the spring. This article is a review of literature  aimed at differential diagnosis of possible causes of acute cough in children and  adults. Given a vast majority of diseases associated with cough, differential diagnosis  have to consider several issues. The key issue is cough duration and possible  anatomical location of the pathological changes. An algorithm of differential diagnosis  of acute cough in children and adults and description of most common diseases  associated with acute cough are given in the review. Further diagnostic work-up  should be driven by the duration of cough as soon as the acute cough could be first  manifestation of a chronic disease.
