Introduction Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory poly-radiculoneuropathy occurring usually two weeks after a viral infection.Covid-19 infection represent with respiratory symptoms, but it might manifests with extra pulmonary symptoms, and especially neurological including Guillain-Barre syndrom Case report A 3 years old female patient admitted to the intensive care unit for an acute symmetric and progressive ascending quadriparesis two weeks after an upper respiratory infection, the diagnosis of post covid GBS was maintained, and the evolution was favorable after intraveneous immunoglobulins. Conclusion This case report suggest the probable causal link between COVID 19 and GBS.

Introduction: COVID 19 pneumonia can lead to an inappropriate inflammatory response, and can be complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome, multivisceral failure with a high mortality rate. Objective: To observe the effect of therapeutic plasma exchange on the excessive inflammatory response. Materials and methods: In this study, we included 7 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) department of the university hospital of Oujda. COVID-19 cases were confirmed by RT PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain) and CT (computerized tomography) imaging according to WHO guidelines. Therapeutic plasma exchange was performed decrease cytokine storm-induced ARDS (Acute respiratory distress syndrome). Inflammation marker assays were performed before and after therapeutic plasma exchange to assess its efficacy. Results: Levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6) and acute phase response proteins, including ferritin and CRP, were elevated before therapeutic plasma exchange. After therapeutic plasma exchange, levels of acute phase reactants, inflammatory mediators, were significantly reduced (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our data suggest that therapeutic plasma exchange reduces the inflammatory response in patients with severe COVID-19 not undergoing mechanical ventilation. Further studies are needed to explore the efficacy of therapeutic plasma exchange in patients with COVID-19.

Introduction. Data of COVID-19 in newborns and children are limited, and clinical manifestations are nonspecific and might delay the diagnosis, which might lead to severe complications. In this clinical case, we will describe new-onset diabetes with consciousness impairment as an atypical revealing way of COVID-19. Case. A 3-year-old child presented to the Emergency Department with loss of consciousness (without fever), lethargy, and stupor. Clinical assessment on admission found an unconscious child with a pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale of 10/15 with no localizing signs or meningeal syndrome, polypneic of 35 breaths/min, pulse oximetry of 90%, with signs of overall dehydration: skin folds, sunken eyes, tachycardia of 160 beats/minute, and recoloring time superior at 3 seconds. Laboratory findings showed hyperleukocytosis of 16000/mm3, lymphopenia of 450/mm3, glycemia of 5 g/L with a correct ionogram : corrected natremia of 139 mmol/L, serum potassium of 4.5 mmol/L, glycosuria of 3+, ketonuria of 2+, and HbA1c of 10%, and COVID-19 RT-PCR came back positive. Conclusion. COVID-19 might be revealed with atypical symptoms including new-onset diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis; therefore, clinicians must suspect it in children with blood glucose and HbA1c at the time of admission. This will help to manage patients with hyperglycemia early.

Highlights Inferior vena cava injury is a rare injury with high rate mortality. Few clinical cases have described the clinical findings and radiologic appearance of this kind of injury. We describe a rare clinical case of inferior vena cava hematoma. The management depends on the hemodynamic stability of the patient and the level of injury, it might be surgical, endoscopic.
