Impact of Lung Disease on COVID-19 Health Outcomes in People Living With HIV.

Introduction COVID-19 most commonly causes pulmonary/lung infection, and these pulmonary diseases can complicate HIV infection. Underlying pulmonary diseases in people living with HIV (PLWH) could affect health outcomes if infected with COVID-19. Therefore, this study was designed to determine the impact of pulmonary diseases on the health outcomes of PLWH that were infected with COVID-19.

Splenic Abscess: A Rare Complication of Bacterial Pneumonia.

Splenic abscess is a rare condition with potentially life-threatening evolution. Hematogenous spread is the most common cause of splenic abscess. Contiguous spread after bacterial pneumonia has rarely been reported in the literature.

Late Evolution of Deep Neck Space Abscess: Was Intubation the Cause?

Introduction: Deep neck abscess in adults may occur as a result of local trauma, foreign body inoculation or immunosuppression.

Method: We describe a case of deep neck abscess that developed after recent hospitalization and intubation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation.

Discussion: The incidence of deep neck abscesses has dramatically reduced due to the use of antibiotics.

A Rare Case of Pyrethroid Poisoning Presenting as Auditory Hallucination.

Pyrethroid is an insecticide which is widely used for household pests. Even though they are relatively less toxic to humans, reports of accidental poisoning are not uncommon. Cases of anosmia, tremors and arrhythmias after pyrethroid exposure have been reported; however auditory hallucinations have not been presented yet.
