On the pathogenesis of destructive pneumonia during COVID-19: a clinical case.

Community-acquired pneumonia is a potentially serious infection in children with high morbidity rate, risk of severe course and unfavorable outcomes. Specialists have noted the increased incidence of the destructive forms in the recent years. Aim. To present a clinical case of destructive pneumonia in a 1 year 2 month old child, hospitalized in the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution "Children's City Clinical Hospital of St. Vladimir Moscow Healthcare Department", and analyze it in terms of current understanding on the disease pathogenesis. Conclusion. During COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) pandemic, pulmonologists and pediatric surgeons encountered an unconventional course of destructive pneumonia. A large number of studies of pathophysiological processes in acute viral interstitial pneumonias have recently allowed to expand our understanding of the role of coagulation system. At the same time, new questions arose concerning the clinical course and development of the pathological infectious process.Copyright © Zaytseva O.V. et al., 2023.

Cardiac and vegetative manifestations of long-COVID in children.

Approximately 5-15% of children develop post-COVID-19 syndrome after SARS-CoV-2 infection, which manifests itself with various pathological symptoms for more than 12 weeks. Cardiovascular symptoms range from serious myocardial inflammation, manifestations of essential hypertension to signs of autonomic dysfunction with a tendency to hypersympathicotonia, which negatively affects the quality of life of children. We report a case of subacute myocarditis in a patient with long-COVID after a low-symptomatic acute disease. This case illustrates high clinical significance of timely diagnosis of long-COVID using gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, which was performed in our country for the first time in pediatric practice. We developed criteria for early diagnosis of autonomic dysfunction specific for children and adolescents. We also developed treatment recommendations, including behavioral therapy, drug, and non-drug treatments.Copyright © 2022, Dynasty Publishing House. All rights reserved.
