Article Synopsis
- A measles epidemic driven by D8 genotype strains has been ongoing in the country since 2022, with a significant increase in liver-related complications compared to the previous outbreak.
- A study analyzed clinical data from 228 hospitalized adult patients during the current outbreak and 130 from the previous one, revealing higher instances of liver involvement and hepatocellular injury in the recent cases.
- The findings suggest that newer MeV strains may have a stronger link to liver issues, highlighting the need for ongoing observation, despite low mortality rates associated with these liver complications.
The rate of thrombotic complications in COVID-19 patients is high and could be associated with the risk of unfavourable outcomes. Moreover, pulmonary thrombotic events can occur even in patients already on anticoagulant treatment. We present the case of a patient with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, without traditional risk factors for thrombosis, who developed massive pulmonary thrombosis (PT) despite therapeutic anticoagulation.
