Introduction: The DRESS syndrome is a life-threatening multi-organ system reaction induced by drugs Characterized by a long latency between drug exposure and disease onset, allopurinol is the most incriminated drug.
Case Presentation: We report a case of 56-year-old patient with history of gout under allopurinol admitted in emergency for shock state associated erythematosquamous lesions reaching 65% of the body surface, a septic was suspected but the bacteriological investigations were negative and the patient had an isolated hyper eosinophilia so diagnosis of dress syndrome induced by allopurinol was retained The patient presented an acute renal failure that was treated successfully by renal replacement therapy, and corticosteroids.
Discussion: DRESS syndrome has a mortality of 10-20%.
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is considered one of the potentially rare complications of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). Multiple treatment modalities have been suggested for patients with HTG-AP, such as permanent removal of TG by plasmapheresis, the use of insulin and heparin to enhance lipoprotein lipase activity and fibrate therapy, but the data remains limited.
Case Management: we reported a case of 33-year-old women admitted for HTG-induced PA (HTG-AP).
Background: Lymphopenia is one of features that helps identify patients with severe Covid-19. This retrospectively study analyzed the association of lymphopenia with the severity of COVID-19 infection, determinate the predictive factors of lymphopenia and the significance of mortality in patient with lymphopenia.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with Covid-19 and admitted to intensive care unit of our university hospital center From Mars 1st 2020, to December 31st 2020.

Introduction: Although the corona virus is responsible in the majority of cases for mild symptoms, there are sometimes severe and even lethal forms of this disease. Our study aimed to identify clinical and para-clinical predictors of mortality related to COVID-19.
Materials And Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study conducted from March 2020 to December 2020 at intensive care unit department of Mohamed VI University Hospital Oujda, Morocco including 600 patients with COVID-19.
Background: COVID-19 is a new disease that appeared in December 2019. Millions of people have been infected and died from this infection. Until today, the pathophysiology and treatment of this infection remain unknown, but a lot of studies are trying to solve the mystery.

Case Presentation: Case 1: A 27-year-old white male with Down's syndrome admitted to the ICU for Covid-19 infection with lung damage of 30-50%.
Posterior reversible encephalopathy (PRES) is a rare but a serious disease that affects the central nervous system. PRES is responsible for various but nonspecific neurological symptoms, including confusion, coma, and seizures as well as visual disturbances. Diagnosis is made using cerebral MRI which typically shows at the early stage, bilateral symmetrical parietooccipital hyperintensities on T2 and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences.

Osler-Weber-Rendu disease (OWRD), called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, is an uncommon genetic illness with the dominant autosomal transmission. It cannot be easily or quickly diagnosed because of both its infrequency and its various associated symptoms. As far as its symptoms are concerned, the patient experiences recurring epistaxis, mucocutaneous telangiectasia, and arteriovenous malformations that can lead to severe undesirable symptoms.
