[Thermal imaging and velocity measurements of the exhaled airflow in total laryngectomized patients during COVID-19 pandemic.].

Introduction: In patients after total laryngectomies, the trachea and the lung can be easily infected by SARS-CoV-2 because the respiration happens through the tracheostoma.

Objective: The aim of our study was to examine whether patients with LaryTube™ can distribute aerosols to a greater extent than without LaryTube™, and to observe whether the surface of different protective instruments can be examined using the thermal camera in total laryngectomees. An important objective was also to confirm the assumption that the use of HME (heat and moisture exchanger) alone does not provide protection during COVID-19 pandemic.

[Successful management of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease caused by SARS-CoV-2].

The Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis) is an autolimited process, which can be caused by viral agents like Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus, HIV, B19 parvovirus, paromyxoviruses, SARS-CoV-2, Toxoplasma and Yersinia. The correct diagnosis is based on histological findings. A 45-year-old female patient presented in our ambulatory room with a unilateral neck mass, fever, dysphonia and dysphagia.
