Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 is associated with brain morbidity due to factors like hypercytokinemia and immune dysregulation, but there's limited evidence of direct brain infection by the virus itself.
  • A study analyzed autopsy data from 36 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, comparing their brain histopathology to control groups, focusing on microcirculatory changes and complement activation.
  • Findings revealed that COVID-19 patients exhibited significantly higher levels of acute neutrophilic vasculitis in the brain's microcirculation compared to historical controls, indicating that COVID-19 has distinct pathological effects on the brain’s blood vessels.

Article Synopsis
  • Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) can be an uncommon skin condition linked to multiple myeloma (MM), which generally leads to a poor prognosis and short survival; different treatments are required for effective management.
  • A case involving a 76-year-old woman revealed that LCV was the initial sign of MM, characterized by pain and skin lesions, which were not responsive to standard treatments.
  • High-intensity laser therapy (Nd: YAG laser) was implemented, resulting in significant pain relief and complete healing of the patient's lesions after five weeks, highlighting its potential as a non-invasive treatment option.

  • The underlying cause of this vasculitis is believed to be changes in the glycosylation of immunoglobulin A (IgA), leading to the formation of immune complexes that trigger inflammation and damage to blood vessels.
  • Diagnosis typically involves detecting histological signs of vasculitis and may require kidney biopsies, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms and protecting kidney function, with a need for ongoing medical supervision due
