Lyme neuroborreliosis: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Lyme neuroborreliosis is the manifestation of Lyme borreliosis that impacts the nervous system. It gives rise to various neurological and psychiatric conditions, and its diagnosis is challenging. The timely administration of antibiotics is effective.

Sex-Based Differences in One-Year Outcomes After Mitral Valve Repair for Infective Endocarditis.

Introduction: This study was aimed to evaluate the sex-based differences in baseline characteristics and one-year outcomes of men and women undergoing mitral valve repair for infective endocarditis.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed at Imam Ali Hospital affiliated with the Kermanshah University of Medical Science. From March 21, 2014, to October 21, 2021, all patients who underwent mitral valve repair for infective endocarditis were enrolled in this study.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, a mini review.

Background: The SARS-Cov-2 pandemic has caused dermatologists around the world to adapt their practice in the aim of protecting patients with special clinical conditions such as those having skin cancers or premalignant conditions and some diagnostic or therapeutic programs would be suspended due to being infected to SARS-CoV-2. We focused the existing data in this regard through searching on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus and tried to summarize recommendations for treating this group of patients in COVID era to provide a practical guide for clinicians.

Recent Findings: The number of diagnosed skin cancers dropped significantly since the beginning of the pandemic, specially in the peaks of various variants of the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) Variant: A Challenge with COVID-19.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there have been multiple peaks of the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus virus 2) infection, mainly due to the emergence of new variants, each with a new set of mutations in the viral genome, which have led to changes in the pathogenicity, transmissibility, and morbidity. The Omicron variant is the most recent variant of concern (VOC) to emerge and was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 26 November 2021. The Omicron lineage is phylogenetically distinct from earlier variants, including the previously dominant Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant.

Various aspects of the relationship between vitiligo and the COVID-19 pandemic or SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: Clinical pearls for dermatologists.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has given rise to several new onset or exacerbated dermatologic disorders including vitiligo.

Aim And Method: Here, we present different aspects of relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection or its associated vaccines and vitiligo and aim to provide solutions to overcome the potential challenges.

Results And Conclusion: In brief, as the benefits overweigh the risks and since vaccine-triggered de novo or flares of vitiligo are uncommon and benign, these patients are recommended to get SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Unmasking sarcoidosis following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: A case report.

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory and granulomatous disorder, developed due to dysregulation between immune response and certain environmental antigens. We hereby report an interesting case of sarcoidosis following COVID-19 vaccination (COVIran Barekat), which presented with inflammation of previous tattoo sites as well as the development of erythema nodosum and systemic lymphadenopathy, suggested a possible link between the COVID vaccination and dysregulation of the inflammatory process and served as a reminder for clinicians to have enough vigilance before proposing a vaccine booster to these patients.

A review of the potential neurological adverse events of COVID-19 vaccines.

Despite the advantages of getting access to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, their potential ability to induce severe adverse events (AEs) has been a significant concern. Neurological complications are significant among the various adverse events following immunization (AEFI) due to their likely durability and debilitating sequelae. Neurological AEs following COVID-19 vaccination can either exacerbate or induce new-onset neuro-immunologic diseases, such as myasthenia gravis (MG) and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS).

A systematic review and clinical atlas on mucocutaneous presentations of the current monkeypox outbreak: With a comprehensive approach to all dermatologic and nondermatologic aspects of the new and previous monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease, endemic in central and west African regions, and has re-emerged, currently causing an outbreak as of May 2022. In this systematic review, we aimed to characterize the current face of the disease, with a detailed categorization of mucocutaneous, as well as systemic symptoms of the disease. We searched four main online databases with the keywords "monkeypox" and "Orthopoxvirus".

COVID vaccine recommendations in dermatologic patients on immunosuppressive agents: Lessons learned from pandemic.

Background: Since SARS-CoV2 vaccines were approved without enough long-term monitoring due to emergent situations, some issues have been raised about timing and protocol of receiving them by patients treated by different immunosuppressive agents.

Aim And Method: Here, we present different aspects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in such patients in the field of dermatology.

Result: In brief, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is recommended in all dermatologic patients, regardless of their disorders and therapeutic regimens.

Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis following SARS-CoV-2 Virus: Remdesivir as a Suspected Culprit.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is an exanthematous condition, predominantly occurring as a result of drug reactions. We, hereby, present the first case of AGEP following treatment with remdesivir in a patient with COVID-19, without hydroxychloroquine use, which serves as a reminder to consider remdesivir as a possible causative agent when dealing with AGEP presentation in COVID patients.

Evaluation of the Acceptance Rate of Covid-19 Vaccine and its Associated Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Covid-19 has caused various problems in the world in terms of health, economy, social and political therefore, the purpose of the present systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the acceptance rate of Covid-19 vaccine and its related factors. To find related studies, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) and Google Scholar databases with no time limit until May 2021 using the keywords Related to the purpose of the research and all possible combinations were explored. I test was used to calculate the heterogeneity of studies and Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation test was used to investigate publication bias.
