Non-conformities in the Pre-analytical Phase at the Parasitology-Mycology Laboratory of the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda.

Introduction: The Parasitology-Mycology Laboratory's analytical process involves three stages: pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical. Our focus is on the pre-analytical phase (PAP). This study addresses managing PAP non-conformities at Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda, aligning with quality standards like ISO 15189 and GBEA and aiming to detect and resolve deviations.

Biomarkers Predicting Poor Prognosis in Covid-19 Patients: A Survival Analysis.

Introduction With the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and its overwhelming impact on health systems in several countries, the importance of identifying predictors of severity is of paramount importance. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between death and the biological parameters of patients with Covid-19. Materials and methods This is an analytical retrospective cohort study conducted on 326 patients admitted to the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda, Morocco.

Comparative analysis of clinical and biological characteristics of COVID-19 patients: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by a betacoronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly evolved into a pandemic since it was first reported in December 2019. thus, SARS-CoV-2 has become a major global public health issue.

Objective: The objective of this work is to compare demographics, comorbidities, clinical symptoms, biology and imaging findings between severe and non-severe COVID-19 patients and to identify clinical and biological risk factors and biomarkers for the development of severe COVID-19 as well as predictive thresholds for severity in order to best rationalize management and decrease the morbidity and mortality caused by this condition.

Value of hematological parameters for predicting patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019: a real-world cohort from Morocco.

Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The clinical manifestations and the evolution of patients with COVID-19 are variable. In addition to respiratory involvement, COVID-19 leads to systemic involvement and can affect the hematopoietic system.

Visceral leishmaniasis associated with macrophage activation syndrome: Case report and literature review.

Background: The combination of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) makes the diagnosis difficult due to their similar clinical presentation, with a poor prognosis especially since the treatment is still poorly codified.We report the case of a 17-month-old female patient from Berkane, presenting for a 3 months history of anarchic fever with anemic syndrome made up of pallor and hemorrhagic syndrome made up of epistaxis. Physical examination revealed a temperature of 39 ° C, lower limbsedema, paleness of skin and mucous membranes, gingival petechiae, bleached hair, and hepatosplenomegaly.
