Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly transmissible and infectious virus. It belongs to the family coronavirus and it is a single strand positive sense virus. There are many theories which relate to the origin and transmission of this virus and hence the virus has been tagged with many names according to various taxonomical guidelines. The conventional clinical spectrum of this infection includes cough, fever, dyspnea, anorexia and gastrointestinal symptoms. It has been seen during the course of this disease that there are also some properties relating this virus to the hypercoagulability in the disease spectrum. The cases involving arterial and venous thromboembolism are not rare. This case series is a collection on three such cases from the red zone (zone separated for COVID-19 infected patients) of a tertiary care hospital in central India which showcase acute limb ischemia in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Background: Fibreoptic endoscopy is a highly efficient diagnostic tool, which is now increasingly being used in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal diseases. This study has been carried out to evaluate the distribution of various upper gastrointestinal diseases based on endoscopic findings in a tertiary care hospital in Mysore.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted based on data from endoscopic register of 1000 subjects who underwent endoscopy for various upper gastrointestinal symptoms from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017(one year).Results: Mean age of the study population was 50.23 years (SD-15.46). Minimum age was 12 years and maximum was 88 years. About 44.7% of the study subjects belonged to 40-60 age group.61.6% of the study subjects were males. Most common indication was pain abdomen (32.1%) followed by dysphagia (22.2%). Of the 1000 study subjects 18.6% had normal findings. Most common finding was Gastritis / Duodenitis /Gastric erosions (28%). Malignant lesions were noted among 11.1%, of which esophagus and stomach are 5.4% and 4.9% respectively.Conclusions: Endoscopic diagnosis is useful for early detection of UGI diseases and helpful for their management.

Pyrexia Of Unknown Origin

 Objective: Our hospital, tertiary care hospital in the capital of the state of Odisha, had been witnessing pyrexia of unknown origin, associated with breathlessness, renal, and liver impairment, which did not respond to high antibiotics but to doxycycline; therefore, the present study was undertaken to identify whether scrub typhus is the etiological agent, and thereafter, their characteristic features were further evaluated as an effort in supporting its diagnoses and treating patients accordingly.Methods: A total of 65 adult patients (age >15 years) admitted with pyrexia between April 2015 and October 2017 were evaluated. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) scrub typhus test was done in all these patients. IgM scrub typhus test positive samples were included in the study and various clinical parameters analyzed.Results: Of the 65 patients included in the study, all were found to be positive for IgM antibodies against Orientia tsutsugamushi. The cases were seen mainly in the months between September and November. The common symptoms found were fever, myalgia, breathlessness, rash, and abdominal pain and rarely altered sensorium. The diagnostic features like eschar were found in 23% patients. Nearly, two-thirds of patients had fever more than 7 days and myalgia (76.92%), headache (58.46%). The most common complications were renal failure (20%) followed by pneumonia (10.76%). Laboratory findings of high C-reacting protein (89.23%) and leukocytosis are found in 35.38%.Conclusion: Our results showed that scrub typhus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pyrexia of unknown origin associated with breathlessness, myalgia, rash, gastrointestinal symptoms, hepatorenal syndrome, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Empirical treatment with doxycycline may be given in the cases with strong suspicion of scrub typhus.
