Increased Risk

Autoimmune hemolytic anaemia (AIHA) can be caused by many diseases like connective tissue disease, lymphoproliferative disorder, certain infections and various medications. The coronavirus disease 19(COVID-19) can cause an increased risk of thrombosis. But, the association of AIHA with COVID-19 is not well understood. Here, in this case report a 45-year-old man who presented with fever, cough, anaemia and splenomegaly. On further investigation, he was confirmed as severe COVID-19 case with AIHA. Subsequently he was managed with prednisolone with good results. BSMMU J 2021; 14 (COVID -19 Supplement): 57-59

INTRODUCTION: Corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) is one among the worst pandemics faced by mankind and there are various neurological manifestations either direct or indirect effect of Corona virus. Here we report a case of foot drop secondary to entrapment peroneal injury in COVID-19 patient as a sequelae of prone positioning. CASE REPORT: A 55-year-old gentleman was diagnosed with RT PCR positive COVID19 and was hospitalized for severe respiratory syndrome. HRCT thorax done showed CORADS score of 6 with severity index of 14/25. During this period, patient was on treatment according to ICMR guidelines and prone position for about 20 hours/day for 20 days for severe pneumonia. During follow up after 15 days of discharge, he had developed features of foot drop secondary to common peroneal nerve palsy which was later conrmed by electro diagnostic studies and nerve ultrasound. Patient was started on oral steroids and along with supportive measures. He is followed up for a period of 3 months and has noted 50% improvement in his symptoms. CONCLUSION: While prone positioning should continue to be utilized in COVID-19 pneumonia as dictated by the current literature, precaution has to be taken with it. Changing patient positioning at shorter intervals and timely mobilization are necessary.

ABSTRACT A novel corona virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, found in Wuhan, China in December 2019 has since spread to multiple continents and has been implicated in thousands of deaths. This pandemic—causing virus has been initially described (corona virus disease 2019 [COVID-19]) with the presentation of fever, cough, and shortness of breath. The majority of studies published have been conducted on inpatient cases and a shortage of tests has encouraged screening only of patients with classic presentation. A positive COVID-19 case of a healthy military male, with the chief complaint of anosmia and ageusia, instigated local re-evaluation of the screening protocol for possible COVID-19 patients. Multiple studies in Europe have implicated anosmia and ageusia as symptoms associated with COVID-19, and subsequently, anosmia and ageusia have been added to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention screening guidelines as well. There should be a higher index of suspicion when evaluating a patient with high-risk activities, travel, and atypical symptoms. More studies need to be conducted with a healthy outpatient population to further understand this disease and decrease its impact.

<p class="abstract">Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a highly communicable disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV2) which originated in Wuhan, China has affected 213 countries worldwide and has caused an economic crisis. As of August 10, 2020, India’s recovery rate is 63%. Most of the critical cases requiring intensive care unit (ICU) management are elderly patients with co-morbidities. The case report is of an elderly, comorbid patient who was intubated and put on a mechanical ventilator. At a time when critical patients on mechanical ventilator hardly survived, this patient survived and was successfully weaned from the ventilator and extubated. The case report emphasizes physical therapy management along with medical management for an elderly SARS CoV2 survivor with co-morbidities, and his journey from the onset of symptoms to being mechanically ventilated to performing his daily activities with minimal discomfort.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

SummaryIn Reaktion auf den massiven Ausbruch von Covid-19-Erkrankungen in der Region Wuhan wurde von staatlicher Seite bereits Ende Januar 2020 eine Expertenkommission namhafter chinesischer TCM-Fachleute berufen. Nach der Sichtung einer größeren Anzahl von Patienten in Wuhan wurdenTherapieprotokolle für verschiedene Krankheitsstadien formuliert, die in den „Guidance for Corona Virus Disease 2019“ des Generalbüros der Nationalen Hygiene und Gesundheitskommission und des Büros der staatlichen Verwaltung für traditionelle chinesische Medizin aufgenommen wurden.
