The COVID-19 pandemic, which started in China in December2019, is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In addition to severe, even life-threatening respiratory symptoms caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a number of systemic and atypical skin symptoms have developed in young patients. This article presents cases of skin symptoms possibly provoked by SARS-CoV-2 virus attended to Pál Heim Children’s Hospital from 15 November to 31 December 2020. Four chilblain-like acral lesions and one case of multiple organ failure similar to Kawasaki disease are presented. The SARS-COV-2 PCR test was negative in all cases, however, high antibody titer was found by serologic testing for antibodies in two cases. In another case, the frst antibody test found doubtful positivity, however, high antibody levels were confrmed one month later. Based on our fndings, it is presumed, that pernio-like symptoms and multiple organ failure similar to Kawasaki disease could be late symptoms of COVID-19. The authors also summarize the most common skin symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in children, highlighting the diferent pediatric aspects from adult cases.

Number Of Patients

One of the most serious problems of modern medicine is sepsis. The number of patients undergoing this complication is 20–30 million (WHO) annually and has no tendency to decrease. Sepsis is characterized by severe multiple organ failure due to a violation of the response of the macroorganism to an infectious agent. Moreover, it is dangerous with high mortality. Sepsis often develops in patients with immunodeficiency conditions, which primarily include pregnant women. The article presents a clinical observation of a case of periostitis in a pregnant woman complicated by a septic state.

New Treatment

Diquat is a widely used herbicide that is substituted for paraquat. With paraquat off the market, cases of diquat poisoning have been gradually increasing. The kidney is the most frequently impaired organ in diquat poisoning. Few cases of multiple organ failure caused by diquat have been reported. We herein describe a 30-year-old man who orally ingested about 160 mL of enriched diquat. Despite aggressive treatment, the patient’s condition progressed to multiple organ failure and death. The pulmonary lesions in this patient were different from those previously reported. This patient did not die of renal failure but of severe respiratory failure. He exhibited three different stages of pulmonary disease. The lung lesions in this case were unique. We hope that doctors will pay more attention to the lung lesions in patients with diquat poisoning in future and find new treatment methods to save the lives of such patients.

Objectives Multiple organ failure is a rare manifestation of ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula which can lead to a high rate of misdiagnosis and death. Methods We reported a 61-year-old man presenting with multiple organ failure rapidly after right lower limb swelling. Computed tomography angiography showed an ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula caused by right common iliac artery aneurysm, and venous thrombosis of bilateral common iliac veins. A bifurcated stent-graft with coil embolization of right internal iliac artery was used for repair. Results The patient recovered rapidly and was discharged without complications. Although arteriovenous fistula persisted due to type II endoleak, aneurysm sac and inferior vena cava significantly shrunk at six months follow-up. Conclusions This report demonstrated that multiple organ failure may appear when the distal outflow tracts of arteriovenous fistula are obstructed. Moreover, endovascular repair is effective for reversal of multiple organ failure caused by arteriovenous fistula, even if arteriovenous fistula persists due to type II endoleak.
