A rare case of superior vena cava syndrome in a patient on VV-ECMO.

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is caused by either extrinsic compression of SVC or intrinsic lesions within SVC leading to obstruction of SVC and consequently swelling of the face, neck, and upper extremeities. Iatrogenic incidence is on the rise due to the use of long-term indwelling catheters. SVC syndrome in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been defined in neonatal and paediatric ECMO cases.

Case Report: Chronic Cavitatory Pulmonary Aspergillosis after COVID-19.

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis can present in four distinct clinical syndromes, one of which is chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA). CCPA is generally associated with a mildly immunosuppressed state or, in immunocompetent patients, with structural lung damage. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been associated with reactivation of previous quiescent infections such as tuberculosis and invasive fungal infections, but CCPA in a patient with COVID-19 is rarely reported.
