A 57-year-old man was admitted to our hospital via the ED presenting in reduced general condition because of an infection of unknown origin, generalized edema, and dyspnea at rest (peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, 89%) that required 2 L/min intranasal oxygen. Anamnesis was complicated by an infection-triggered delirium, but his wife reported an increasing physical decay that had led to bed confinement. The BP was reduced at 88/55 mm Hg with a normal heart rate of 86 beats/min. Lung auscultation showed mild bipulmonal rales. Previous comorbidities were a BMI of 42 kg/m, an insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus with a severe diabetes-related chronic kidney disease stage G4A3, and systemic arterial hypertension.

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by the disruption of the epidermal cell adhesion protein desmoglein 1 (DsG1). PF classically presents with superficial erosions or blisters, but can rarely mimic other dermatological conditions, which makes diagnosis challenging. We report the case of a 57-year-old Sri Lankan man with a one-month history of widespread ichthyosis-like plaques and scales which started on his scalp and progressed in a cranio-caudal fashion and were associated with pruritus and few blisters.

Department of Kidney and Transplant Services, Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.
Background: Kidney transplant recipients with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 infection have an increased risk of severe disease and mortality. Nirmaltrevir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) is an effective oral disease-modifying therapy that has been shown to reduce risk of progression to severe disease in high-risk, nonhospitalized adults. However, owing to the potential for serious drug-drug interactions owing to ritonavir-induced inhibition of the CYP3A enzyme, this drug is not suitable option for transplant recipients with mild-moderate severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 infection.

Hereditary protein S deficiency (PSD) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the 1 gene which can cause venous thrombosis. Individuals with PSD usually present with recurrent deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism, but thrombosis may occur at unusual sites, such as the mesenteric and portal veins. Here we report a case of hereditary protein S deficiency patient with predominant mesenteric venous thrombosis.
