The COVID-19 pandemic has caused serious health and social concerns worldwide. Although the primary target of SARS-CoV-2 is the respiratory tract, SARS-CoV-2 infection also causes extrapulmonary symptoms. Previous articles have reported ischemic colitis in COVID-19 patients; however, information regarding its clinical manifestations and pathophysiology is limited. In this case report, we present two cases of ischemic enterocolitis in COVID-19 patients and review past case reports. Our literature review has shown that computed tomography rather than endoscopy was used for the diagnosis, and any region of the intestine was affected. Because the elevation of the D-dimer, which suggested a hypercoagulable state, was reported in most cases, we assumed that thrombosis at any level in the artery and vein was involved in the pathophysiology of COVID-19–associated enterocolitis. SARS-CoV-2–induced endotheliitis can cause both coarctation of the vessels and thrombosis; therefore, both patterns of ischemic colitis, occlusive and nonocclusive, may be involved in COVID-19–associated enterocolitis.

Lrba Deficiency

Abstract Background Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive and beige like anchor (LRBA) deficiency is categorized as a subtype of common variable immune deficiency (CVID). A growing number of case reports and cohorts reveal a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and variable phenotype expression, including immune dysregulation, enteropathy and recurrent infections. The association between rheumatic disease and CVID generally has been well established, arthritis has been less frequently reported and minimal data regarding its clinical features and characteristic in LRBA deficiency has been published. This case report and literature review evaluates the characteristics and features of arthritis in LRBA deficiency patients. Case presentation and review results Herein, we describe a unique case of LRBA deficiency first presented with poly articular arthritis. Alongside the report, a literature review focusing on LRBA deficiency, rheumatic disease and arthritis has been conducted. We reviewed 43 publications. Among these, 7 patients were identified with arthritis. Age of first presentation was six weeks to 3 years. Male to female ratio was 4/3. Two patients were diagnosed with polyarticular Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and three with oligoarticular JIA. Each patient was found to have different genomic mutation. The treatment was diverse and included corticosteroids, cyclosporine, methotrexate, adalidumab and abatacept. Conclusion Joint involvement is variable in LRBA deficiency, hence it should always be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for a patient with combination of juvenile arthritis and clinically atypical immune dysregulation and / or immunodeficiency.

Compound Odontoma

Odontoma refere-se a tumores de origem odontogênica. Sua etiologia envolve distúrbios de desenvolvimento, traumatismos e infecções. Embora o crescimento seja lento e geralmente assintomático, complicações de ordem estética e funcional podem advir da permanência desta lesão. Os odontomas podem ser classificados como complexos e compostos, e o seu tratamento envolve a remoção cirúrgica conservadora com posterior exame histopatológico. Neste artigo é relatado um caso clínico de uma remoção de um canino incluso no palato associado a um odontoma com posterior enxertia utilizando enxerto do ramo mandibular particulado.Descritores: Odontoma; Cirurgia Bucal; Dente Canino.ReferênciasTeruhisa U, Murakami J, Hitasomi M, Yanagi Y, Asaumi J.

Etiologic Agents

Peri-implantitis is a pathology that has been described in many clinical studies and case reports. However, it is still not clear how the roles of its etiologic agents work. This article is based on a review of the literature and a case report. It aims to offer data related to the factors that cause this pathology, and to analyze how these factors interact, leading to the contamination of the peri-implant tissue.

Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) was first described 50 years ago, but only around 100 case reports in English have been published. Its relation with other inflammatory skin disorders is still being debated. We report a case of REM, including the clinical and histopathological findings. Also, a systematic review of 94 English-language reported cases is provided. The described criteria for clinical and histopathological diagnosis are highlighted in order to REM can be confidently diagnosed.

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare medical disorder, which is most often found in the immediate postpartum period. OVT is rarely considered idiopathic. We report a case of idiopathic OVT with pulmonary embolism in a 33-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography and postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of idiopathic OVT. To date, only 12 cases of idiopathic OVT have been reported. In this case report, we present a summary of these cases and a review of literature regarding management of idiopathic OVT.

Genetic Anomaly

Activated protein C resistance (APCR) is a recently discovered, medically important cause of venous thrombosis. More than 95% of cases are due to factor V Leiden (FVL), a mutated form of factor V that is resistant to degradation by activated protein C. The prevalence of this disorder, which is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, is approximately 5% among asymptomatic people of European heritage. In addition, 20 to 60% of patient cohorts with previous thrombosis demonstrate APCR, making it the most common known genetic cause of abnormal thrombophilia. Current laboratory techniques available for diagnosis include functional assays, such as the APC ratio, as well as DNA-based tests that detect the specific genetic anomaly responsible for FVL. A case report is presented, along with a review of the literature highlighting epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and methods for laboratory diagnosis.
