Necrotizing pneumonia (NP) is a severe form of lung disease with a high mortality rate. Although NP generally occurs as a complication in community-acquired pneumonia, our case illustrates that NP can occur as a secondary infection even if the clinical course of COVID-19 pneumonia is favorable, particularly in intubated patients.

We report the case of sudden rupture of a radial artery small pseudoaneurysm (PSA) occurring in a 63-years-old patient who had been hospitalized for COVID-19 pneumonia.

Early treatment of polycythemia vera with ultra-low-dose interferon-α 2a is well tolerated and results in complete hematologic and major molecular remission and a strong reduction of all symptoms, especially pruritus and fatigue.

COVID-19 cases are increasing worldwide. With such emerging disease the medical community should be aware of atypical clinical presentations in order to help with correct diagnosis, and to take the proper measures to isolate and treat patients to avoid healthcare professionals being infected and to limit its spread (SARS-CoV-2).

COVID-19, TB and HIV are infectious diseases of global public health concern. Triple Co-infection with these diseases can create a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We present a case of a young Cameroonian woman with SARS-CoV-2 -- HIV-TB triple co-infection. Early diagnosis and appropriate management yielded an excellent outcome.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital anomaly, and has four anatomical subtypes of which the mixed type represents diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Herein, we present a rare case of obstructed mixed type total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with successful surgical repair

Sarcoidosis shows various clinical and radiologic manifestations. Nodular sarcoidosis is an uncommon form of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Cases presenting as solid nodules are especially rare. We herein present a case of nodular sarcoidosis with a solid nodule that was suspected to be lung cancer.

We report a case of a 35-years-old Lebanese pregnant lady with a background of beta-thalassemia major who was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection (Cycle threshold value 18) during her 23rd gestational week. Unfortunately, the pregnancy outcome was unfavorable. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case

Treatment of ST represents a challenge. The presence of large amounts of thrombus combined with stent optimization increase the risk of distal embolization. A two-step strategy of stent implantation and deferred stent optimization might be appropriated. We hereby present three clinical cases of ST successfully treated with a two-step approach.

A 36-year-old male with non-lesional refractory frontal-lobe epilepsy, diagnosed at 16 years of age, and with a history of four hospitalizations for refractory status epilepticus and admitted to the intensive care unit with focal seizures in the right upper limb, impaired consciousness, and recurrent progression to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures.

An 86-year-old man who had undergone two mitral valve replacements developed heart failure due to prosthetic valve infection and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA). LVPA due to infective endocarditis is rare and caused by the abscess formation in the left ventricular myocardium. Multiple mitral valve replacements may predispose to LVPA forming.

COVID-19 related pneumonia overlaps with ACS, one of the most common acute presentations in SCD patients.We present a case of 22-year-old SCD patient presented to the emergency department with mild respiratory symptoms turned out to be COVID-19 positive and received red blood cell exchange to avoid the possibility of deterioration.

To our knowledge, this is the first description of a cytomegalovirus end-organ infection complicating severe COVID-19 disease in an immunocompetent host. Suspicion threshold for opportunistic coinfections should be lowered in severe COVID-19. Serum CMV polymerase chain reaction and colonoscopy should be discussed in presence of persistent digestive disturbances.

Three COVID-19 patients who were received lopinavir/ritonavir plus favipiravir got to improved without any severe adverse events. Two patients harboring high fever, severe pneumonia and respiratory failure obtained dramatic improvement. The combination therapy might be a treatment option; earlier therapy onset may have needed to avoid lung sequela.

Initially, Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus is strikingly thought to be manifested by respiratory illness such as cough, chest tightness, and dysponea. Therefore, we are presenting a confirmed case of COVID-19 who developed acute pancreatitis-a rare manifestation during disease process without any known aggravating factors

COVID-19 causes significant hypoxia along with an inflammatory milieu, which may lead to secondary myocardial infarction and also atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Here we present a case of COVID-19 presented with ACS followed by PTE and CVA.

Kimura disease (KD) is a rare condition with a challenging diagnosis because it may be misdiagnosed and not differentiated from other disorders. We reported a 13-year-old patient who presented with growing neck masses and was hospitalized due to the nephrotic syndrome relapse but was eventually diagnosed with KD.
