Myoclonus and Cerebellar Ataxia Associated with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Unlabelled: The current SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global health crisis. The clinical spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 infection ranges from asymptomatic infection to critical illness affecting almost every organ including the central and peripheral nervous systems. Myoclonus, a less expected and relatively unusual neurological complication, together with ataxia, has lately been associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Diagnostic yield, safety, and advantages of ultra-low dose chest CT compared to chest radiography in early stage suspected SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia: A retrospective observational study.

To determine the role of ultra-low dose chest computed tomography (uld CT) compared to chest radiographs in patients with laboratory-confirmed early stage SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.Chest radiographs and uld CT of 12 consecutive suspected SARS-CoV-2 patients performed up to 48 hours from hospital admission were reviewed by 2 radiologists. Dosimetry and descriptive statistics of both modalities were analyzed.

Giant Cell Arteritis among Fevers of Unknown Origin (FUO): An Atypical Presentation.

Unlabelled: Giant cell arteritis (GCA), or Horton's arteritis, presenting solely as fever is very rare. Usually, it manifests with typical features such as visual problems, headache and jaw claudication, or it can be associated with polymyalgia rheumatica. We describe the case of a patient with GCA who presented only with prolonged fever, the cause of which was not determined by diagnostic tests.

Clinical characteristics and management of a liver transplanted patient admitted with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

We present here the case of a 62-year-old man, who was referred to the emergency department with fever and cough for 3 days. He underwent liver transplantation 4 years earlier due to HCV and NASH-related cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma. At admission he was in reduced general conditions.

The Dark Purple Side of Ceftriaxone: A Case Report on Leucocytoclastic Vasculitis.

Unlabelled: We present a case of an 85-year-old woman diagnosed with uncomplicated pyelonephritis, who was treated with intravenous ceftriaxone. Her chronic medications were phenprocoumon, diltiazem and bisoprolol. During the infectious phase, the patient presented tachycardia - despite high-dose beta-blocker treatment - and developed left acute heart failure, with acute renal failure (pre-renal origin).

[Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): sexual hormones, contraception and pregnancy].

Sexual hormones, particularly estrogens, appear to play a role in the development of SLE. Pregnancy as well as the use of exogenous sexual hormones prescribed as contraceptives, as substitutive therapy, or to induce ovulation can be associated with disease flares. However, pregnancy can be envisaged in SLE patients with well controlled disease, on the condition that medical follow-up is observed.
