RESUMO
Recently, few reports have described a serious condition linked to SARS-CoV-2 that mimics Kawasaki disease called multisystem inflammatory syndrome, especially in children (MIS-C) and young adults. In this work, we report on a severe form of MIS in a young female adult previously infected by SARS-CoV-2. She was treated by plasmapheresis with albumin and steroids, however outcome was fatal. We discuss the pathogenesis of this rare and life threatening entity and suggest some therapeutic regimen. This syndrome should not be misdiagnosed with an infectious or a drug induced cutaneous rash in the current context of COVID-19 pandemic.

Pocos informes han descrito recientemente una situación grave asociada a SARS-CoV-2 que remede la enfermedad de Kawasaki denominada síndrome inflamatorio multisistémico, especialmente en niños (MIS-C) y adultos jóvenes. En este trabajo, reportamos una forma grave de MIS en un adulto joven previamente infectado por SARS-CoV-2. La paciente fue tratada mediante plasmaféresis con albúmina y esteroides, pero sin embargo el resultado fue fatal. Tratamos aquí la patogenia de esta entidad rara y potencialmente mortal, y sugerimos algún régimen terapéutico. No debería confundirse este síndrome con una erupción cutánea infecciosa o causada por un fármaco en el contexto actual de la pandemia por COVID-19.(AU)

RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Totally implantable venous access port plays a crucial role in the treatment of patients in oncology. However, its use can result sporadically in catheter fracture with catheter tip embolization into pulmonary arteries. CASE REPORTS: We report this unusual but potentially serious complication in four patients. In these patients, the port had been inserted percutaneously into the subclavian vein using the infra-clavicular approach. This side effect occurred late in three patients. In all patients, the catheter fracture was asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic and was caused by the pinch-off syndrome. The retrieval of the embolized fragments was successfully performed by transcatheter procedure in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory. CONCLUSION: We reviewed the literature and the newest guidelines and recommendations to detail the clinico-radiological features, the possible causes of this complication and discussed means to recognize, manage and prevent it.

Bacterial complications, particularly skin superinfections, are common during chickenpox. However, reports of acute bacterial meningitis associated with chickenpox are unusual and amount to only a very few observations. For the most part, they are caused by Neisseria meningitidis or Streptococcus pyogenes. We report an infrequent occurrence of pneumococcal meningitis 2 days after the onset of a chickenpox rash in a 7-year-old previously healthy boy. Based on data from the literature, we attempt to understand the possible mechanisms resulting in bacterial complications, particularly meningitis, during chickenpox and to determine the means to prevent it.
