Crew member arrived in Brazil on August 20, 2020, rapid test for COVID-19 with a negative result. On the 28th, already on board, he developed: fever, cough and malaise. On the 29th, was closely monitored for 2 hours and 30 minutes. In the first hour, he presented hypothermia, high blood pressure and tachycardia, requiring oxygen therapy, he presented in the last 90 minutes to hypothermia, an abrupt drop in blood pressure and bradycardia, ultimately evolving to hypothermia, lack of blood pressure and electrical activity of the heart. A review of the protocol for coping with COVID-19 is required.

Abstract Introduction Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) form a group of metabolic pathological conditions that might develop serious neurological consequences. Early diagnosis, before irreversible damage is established, is the most important prognostic and morbidity factor. Case Report We present the case of a 5-day newborn with high blood pressure and respiratory distress. Diagnosis was type I citrullinemia. With appropriate citrullinemia guided-treatment blood pressure returned to normal. Conclusion High blood pressure has been rarely described as a lead symptom for the debut of a UCD. We must take this into consideration as an early recognition and treatment of these disorders are of the utmost importance.
