Diagnostic features of multiple organic system disorders associated with COVID-19 in a child of primary school age.

The advent of the COVID-19, specialists are increasingly encountering previously unknown pathological conditions in their practice. For some time, we have believed, that COVID-19 in children is most often mild and asymptomatic. However, with the passage of time and. the accumulation, of the experience, it became obvious that the new infectious disease it will be quite severe in children. Differential diagnosis of multiple organ disorders in children during the COVID-19 pandemic should, be primary carried out with the Multisystem. Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, associated, with COVID-19 (MIS-C), as well as Long-COVID-19. According to published, data, the manifestations of these conditions are due to frequent lesions of the gastrointestinal tract (60-100%), cardiovascular (80%), nervous (29-58%) and respiratory (21-65%) systems. At present, there is no exact idea of these pathological conditions, the criteria for their diagnosis and. the tactics of managing children, not only at the stage of diagnosis, but also at the stage of observation. The authors present a diagnostically complex clinical case describing the development of multiple organ damage in a 7-year-old. child, after contact with a mother who was sick with COVID-19. The data on the course features, the results of the examination and. the difficulties of differential diagnosis of this case with other diseases with a similar clinic are summarized.Copyright © 2022 Authors.

Tuberculosis under conditions of novel coronavirus infection

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important medical and social problem up to today. In recent years, great strides have been made in the fight against tuberculosis infection (TI) in reducing TB morbidity and mortality, especially in the Russian Federation. Emergence of new COVID-19 infection in the world has led to the need for long-term isolation of the population, on the one hand, and the need to resort to personal protective equipment, on the other. The spread of COVID-19 may have an impact on the increase in TB morbidity, despite the decrease in the incidence rate, which is related to objective difficulties in detecting TB and complexity of the structure of clinical manifestations of the disease against the background of coronavirus infection and severe complications after COVID-19. The use of immunosuppressive therapy in the treatment of COVID-19 may cause immunosuppression, which will affect the results of TI immunodiagnostics using skin tests. At the same time, IGRA tests can be useful in these conditions, since they are of great diagnostic value. Equally important is the reduction of patient visits to treatment facilities in the context of a pandemic or a high incidence of COVID-19.
