Background: Over the last few decades, the covid 19 has increased all over the world. More issues are likely to be observed as covid 19 rate increases. The major cause of morbidity and mortality is infection. Oral Candidiasis With Subcutaneaous Emphyema and SARI are very rare complications in Covid 19 patient. The final cause is infection, but sometimes it causes due to allergic or inflammatory reaction of the drugs. If it occurs after post covid 19 then creates very serious issues with the peoples health. Case Presentation: Here we are mentioning a very rare case of Oral Candidiasis With Subcutaneaous Emphyema and SARI after Covid 19 positive patient. In this case, on physical examination and investigation, it was found that, after covid 19 patient has developed Oral Candidiasis, Subcutaneous Emphysema , severe breathlessness, cough, fever, nausea, vomiting, throat infection and loss of appetide. To overcome this sudden issue, emergency exploratory medical and surgical treatment was done. During Covid 19 treament her HRCT Score was 21/25 and the infection was severe. There was no any sign of oral candidiasis, subcutaneous emphysema, or tissue or organ damage or no any other abnormality was detected during Covid 19 tratment. No bacterial growth or fungal growth observed on investigation. After some days and treatment of covid 19 the patient was developed a Oral Candidiasis and Subcutaneous Emphysema and SARI. The working diagnosis was finalized by doctors i.e. Oral Candidiasis With Subcutaneaous Emphyema and SARI. After expert medical management and excellent nursing care patient was discharged with full recovery. Conclusion: In this study, we mainly focus on expert medical management and excellent nursing care helped in managing the complicated case very nicely.

Candida albicans is the most common Candida species isolated from the oral cavity both in healthy and diseased. Candida albicans is a dimorphic fungus existing both in blastopore phase (yeast phase) and the hyphal or mycelial phase. Although these organisms typically colonize mucocutaneous surfaces, the latter can be portals of entry into deeper tissues when host defences are compromised. Denture stomatitis is a common form of oral candidiasis that manifests as a diffuse inflammation of the maxillary denture bearing areas & is associated with angular cheilitis. At least 70% of individuals with clinical signs of denture stomatitis exhibit fungal growth & these conditions most likely result from yeast colonization of the oral mucosa combined with Bacterial colonization. Candida species act as an endogenous infecting agent on tissue predisposed by chronic trauma to microbial invasion. At one time, oral fungal infections were rare findings in general dentist's office. They were more commonly seen in hospitalized and severely debilitated patients. However with enhanced medical and pharmaceutical technology, increasing numbers of ambulatory immunosuppressed individuals with oral fungal infections are seeking out general dentists for diagnosis and treatment of these lesions.

AbstrakPerawat adalah tenaga kesehatan yang paling sering kontak dengan pasien. Ketakutan akan tertular penyakit dalam merawat pasien dengan penyakit yang mudah menular, dapat melahirkan sikap dan perilaku perawat yang tidak profesional dalam memberikan asuhan keperawatan kepada pasien. Penelitian fenomenologi ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pengalaman perawat selama merawat pasien dengan Avian Influenza. Data kualitatif yang diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam pada tujuh perawat di sebuah rumah sakit di Jakarta. Hasil penelitian menemukan empat tema utama yaitu pengetahuan tentang AI yang minimal, profesionalisme yang tinggi, perasaan merawat pasien, serta upaya mencegah penularan. Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa perlunya pelatihan mengenai Avian Influenza dengan menggunakan pendekatan keperawatan. AbstractNurse is the only health team member in the hospital who always contact intensively with the patient. Fear of getting infection from patient can create negative perception and attitude which will influence the way nurse perform nursing care to the patient. This is important to assess what nurse perception in caring for infectious patiens, such as Avian Influenza (AI) patients. A Phenomenology study was carried out to identify the experience of nurses in taking care patient with Avian Influenza. The purpose of the study was to identify the experience of nurses in taking care patients with Avian Influenza. The participants were seven nurses who work at a hospital in Jakarta. Data was collected by the in-depth interview. The major themes revealed in this study were: inadequate knowledge about Avian Influeza, highly prefessional nurses, feeling when caring for patient, way in preventing AI transmission. In conclusion, there is a need to conduct additional training about Avian Influenza in the context of nursing care approach.

The Subject

Objective: Analyse the primary studies that highlighted the problems related to Nursing assistance in the practice of blood transfusions. Materials and Methods: Integrative literature review with a search of journals indexed in SCOPUS; CINAHL; SCIENCE DIRECT; PUBMED and WEB of SCIENCE databases, with the descriptors blood transfusion; Exchange Transfusion; Hemotherapy Service; nursing care; Patient Care Planning; Evidence Based Nursing. Results and Discussion: The sample consisted of 12 primary articles. Two qualitative studies obtained a moderate and strong level on the COREQ scale. In the STROBE score assignment, ten articles were selected with scores above 12. As for the level of evidence, 91.6% have level 4 and 8.4% level 3. Regarding the professionals' knowledge about blood transfusion, although they have knowledge of the subject, they declare the need for continuous training for quality assurance and, also, those who know the process, but do not adequately perform the steps for patient safety, need training. Regarding patient safety, the knowledge deficit of professionals can be detrimental to patient safety, which can lead to potential harm and increased morbidity and mortality of patients in the process of hemodialysis. Conclusion: The transfusion practice requires qualified professionals to ensure quality care and patient safety. Therefore, there is a need for ongoing education programs that include training and capacity-building related to the subject, as well as the multiple factors arising from lack of quality and unhealthy forms of work that overload professionals and lead to error.

Background/Aim. Oral candidiasis frequently causes discomfort in patients treated for malignant diseases, acting as well as a potential source of systemic infection. This disease may present itself through different clinical manifestations of both acute or chronic type. The aim of this study was to identify different Candida species from oral cavities of patients suffering from malignant diseases. Methods. Thirty patients admitted to the hospital for diagnostics/treatment of malignant diseases were included in this investigation. All subjects had visible changes of oral mucosa in the form of pseudomembranes and inflammation corresponding to oral candidiasis. Control group included 30 non-hospitalized patients diagnosed with candidiasis. Diagnosis of oral candidiasis was confirmed in all patients by microbiological analysis of tongue swabs. For microbiota identification, three different tests were used: germination test, fungal growth test on corn meal agar, and biochemical identification with commercially available ID 32 C kit (bio-Merieux, Marcy-l?Etoile, France). Results. Out of 30 isolates collected from hospitalized patients, 90% was related to Candida albicans, 7% was identified as Candida kefyr, and 3% as Candida famata. In samples collected from non-hospitalized controls, we isolated Candida albicans in 90% of the cases, in 7% Candida kefyr, while in 3% we identified Candida glabrata. Conclusion. Based on this investigation, oral candidiasis in patients treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is mainly caused by Candida albicans. It is to be expected that Candida albicans will remain the most significant causative agent of oral candidasis, although we must bear in mind the possibility of other pathogenic species.
