Post Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiography Bilateral Loss of vision: A Case Report.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is an invasive endoscopic procedure done more often for therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes. There are various complications of this procedure like pancreatitis, cholangitis, hemorrhage, perforation and other rare adverse events. In this case report, we discuss a case of a 40 years female who was referred to our center for endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. After the procedure she complained of bilateral loss of vision which was an unknown complication to us. But after looking back to literature we found two such case reports attributed to isolated bilateral lateral geniculate body infarct.

Recurrent Positivity of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in a Clinically Recovered COVID-19 Patient with End Stage Renal Disease: A Case Report.

Recurrent or persistent positivity of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in clinically recovered COVID-19 patients have been reported worldwide. However, replication competent live viruses were not recovered beyond two to three weeks from onset of symptoms in mild to severe cases of COVID-19. End stage renal disease is characterized by uremia induced immune dysfunction that increases the risk of infectious diseases including COVID-19. The clinical implications of recurrent or persistently positive SARS-CoV-2 RNA in immunocompromised patients are difficult to be generalized to findings as in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of end stage renal disease with recent history of recovered COVID-19 pneumonia, who again presented with positive reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test for SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
