Article Abstract

Background: The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a pandemic for more than one year and estimated to affect the whole world in the near future.

Case Summary: Here we reported that one COVID-19 patient with vesicles was treated by bullectomy. The patient's perioperative laboratory tests were analyzed. The pathological findings of bullectomy were described and compared with those of common bulla cases.

Conclusion: This patient with vesicles underwent bullectomy and had a poor prognosis. He showed diffuse alveolar damage and extensive necrosis in bullectomy specimen. We hope our report will be of interest for clinicians who will treat COVID-19 patients in the future.

Background: Exosome is a small extracellular vesicle with a diameter of 30 to 150 nm that is secreted by cells. Mtb and other bacteria can also secrete extracellular vesicles, which carry characteristics and information about the pathogen. Here, we compare the concentration of exosomes and the Mtb antigen in exosomes of tuberculosis patients aiming to evaluate whether exosomes can be used as diagnostic markers of tuberculosis at different stages.

Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, poses a significant burden on patients' quality of life and healthcare systems. While mild-to-moderate cases are treated topically, usually combined with phototherapy, severe cases require systemic treatment with immunosuppressants, retinoids or biologics. However, all available treatments have drawbacks in terms of efficiency and side effects.
