A 71-year-old man with a history of drug-induced interstitial pneumonia was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection and simultaneously found to have a pulmonary mass, suggesting a coexisting lung cancer. Approximately 1 month after COVID-19 pneumonia resolved, the patient electively underwent right upper lobectomy. Postoperatively, acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia occurred and the patient died on the fifteenth postoperative day. By quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, high levels of COVID-19-derived RNA were detected in the specimen of lung parenchyma. Despite resolved COVID-19 infection, it may persist locally in the lungs, with the risk of acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia due to secondary stressors including surgery.

Introduction: Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a prevalent condition in emergency departments (EDs). Standard care involves early laparoscopic cholecystectomy; however, in cases of delayed presentation, high surgical risk, or during situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) serves as an alternative management strategy. This study reports our center's experience with PC in managing AC, providing insights from a unique geographical context.

Background: Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) face heightened mortality and accelerated disease progression when persistently infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This critical situation underscores the urgent need to identify risk factors and establish early intervention strategies tailored to this vulnerable population. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection in NHL patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
