Challenges in the Diagnosis and Management of Nephrotic Syndrome in a Child With Multisystemic Tuberculosis.

We report the case of a child who had tuberculosis associated with nephrotic syndrome. In this case, it was difficult to identify if the renal involvement was due to renal infection with mycobacterium tuberculosis, the consequence of nephrotoxicity of anti-bacillary drugs, or due to new onset of nephrosis. Management was complex as the use of high-dose steroids can disseminate the infection.

Protein-Losing Enteropathy Associated with Thrombotic Microangiopathic Features Revealing Hirschsprung's Disease in a Child.

We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with protein-losing enteropathy, leading to severe malnutrition. Associated thrombotic microangiopathic features made diagnosis difficult and challenging.

Severe Acral Necrosis Complicating Thrombotic Microangiopathy in Two Toddlers.

Acral ischemia/necrosis is one of the rarest but most dreadful complications of thrombotic microangiopathy in pediatric patients. It is more reported with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura than with hemolytic and uremic syndrome. Even with anticoagulant therapy, it is often irreversible, leading to amputation.

Third Cranial Nerve Palsy Presenting with Unilateral Diplopia and Strabismus in a 24-Year-Old Woman with COVID-19.

BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease (COVID 19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and is the causative agent of a serious disease that is of great global public health concern. Palsy of the third cranial nerve is very rare in patients with confirmed 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We describe the case of a patient with an incomplete palsy of the left third cranial nerve sparing the pupils in the context of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.

Scabies complicated by necrotizing lymphocytic vasculitis in an infant.

Scabies is very common among children. It is often a harmless infectious disease, responding well to antiparasitic medication. Nevertheless, severe forms can occur in immunocompromised populations like newborns and infants.

Epidemiology and Clinical Features of Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Moroccan Children.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the epidemiological and clinical features of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) in a Moroccan pediatric population.

Methods: A retrospective study of a cohort of 74 children with RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19. We collected information on clinical and laboratory features of all children (age <18 years) admitted between 2 March, 2020 and 1 April, 2020.

Hepatitis A Virus Infection Associated with Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis.

Atypical symptoms, especially immune complex disorders, are uncommonly reported with hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. We report an 8-year-old child who contracted HAV infection complicated by cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, and responded well to oral steroids. HAV infection may be considered in the etiology of cryoglobulinemia in children.
