ABSTRACT
Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a single-stranded RNA virus identified for the first time in Wuhan, China, and it unfurls quickly worldwide. The corona virus 2019 is a systemic disease which develops a prothrombotic environment, and has an extensive spectrum of clinical presentations in the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary systems. Ischemic hepatitis (hypoxic hepatitis) is one potential mechanism behind lessened perfusion of the liver. The portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis are extremely rare complications and unusual main manifestations of COVID-19. We report the case of a patient presented acute hepatitis with portal and mesenteric vein thrombosis revealing a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, we discuss the most characteristic elements of the Impact of COVID-19 on liver Injury, and the mechanisms of this damage and the formation of thrombus in portal and mesenteric vein.
ABSTRACT
The spectrum of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) endocrinopathy is large. Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is common in both early and late stages of HIV syndrome, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. However, rhabdomyolysis is a muscle disease in which striated muscle fibers disintegrate, excreting myoglobin in the urine, leading to acute kidney failure. It is currently reported that rhabdomyolysis may be a direct result of the HIV infection, especially in the advanced stages of HIV/AIDS disease. This case study reports AI and a mild rhabdomyolysis in a patient with no medical history and no medicine or toxic intake. Laboratory assessment revealed HIV infection.
