Sepsis due to phlegmonous gastritis in a cancer patient.

We bring forward a case of a 58-year-old female who, undergoing treatment for glioblastoma with temozolomide and radiotherapy, visited the Emergency Department due to acute abdominal pain and chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia. She was diagnosed with sepsis due to phlegmonous gastritis. After several weeks in the Intensive Care Unit with antimicrobial coverage, our patient was discharged. Conceptually, phlegmonous gastritis is a highly unusual bacterial infection of the gastric wall. Intrinsically related to the alteration of the immune system, and frequently linked to cancer patients, its high morbidity and mortality and exceptional casuistry require early treatment and clinical suspicion.

Facial diplegia, a possible atypical variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome as a rare neurological complication of SARS-CoV-2.

We present a case of facial diplegia after 10 days of SARS-CoV-2 confirmed infection symptoms in a 61 year old patient without prior clinically relevant background. There are few known cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) related to SARS-CoV-2 infection; we propose this case as a rare variant of GBS in COVID-19 infection context, due to Its chronology, clinical manifestations and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings.
