Background: Multisystemic inflammatory syndrome (MIS) in the post-coronavirus disease (COVID) scenario is recognized in the pediatric population worldwide. However, no case report features jaw bone necrosis caused by self-mutilating injury noted during COVID treatment.
Case Description: This report is of a 5-year-old child affected by COVID. During the course of treatment, she presented with MIS and was treated with steroids and oxygen therapy. She was observed to have cardiac and gastrointestinal disorders. However, some psychiatric impairment caused her to pull out her lower anterior teeth, thus acting as an injury to the tissue and causing osteomyelitis. This necrotic bone tissue was excised surgically, and due to the loss of teeth, prosthetic rehabilitation was performed for the patient.
Conclusion: This unique presentation of post-COVID manifestations of self-mutilating injury is alarming for the pediatric population.

SARS-CoV-2 infection of human pluripotent stem cell-derived vascular cells reveals smooth muscle cells as key mediators of vascular pathology during infection.

Although respiratory symptoms are the most prevalent disease manifestation of infection by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), nearly 20% of hospitalized patients are at risk for thromboembolic events. This prothrombotic state is considered a key factor in the increased risk of stroke, which is observed clinically during both acute infection and long after symptoms clear. Here, we develop a model of SARS-CoV-2 infection using human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells (ECs), pericytes (PCs), and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to recapitulate the vascular pathology associated with SARS-CoV-2 exposure.

Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in preventing and treating COVID-19, and Fuzheng Jiedu decoction (FZJDD) was reported to be effective against COVID-19 in clinical trials. To investigate the potential mechanisms and material basis of FZJDD against SARS-CoV-2, we performed SARS-CoV-2 target protein inhibition analyses and a metabolite full spectrum analysis of FZJDD. Interestingly, FZJDD was found to block the binding of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein with the receptor ACE2 and inhibit the activity of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro.
