The severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) presents clinical manifestations similar to the influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV), and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV). However, in the course of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), various pathological complications of high clinical significance have remained unknown. Impaired blood supply to the visceral vascular system can cause serious life-threatening acute damage. We report a case of extensive acute mesenteric ischemia associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed in a patient hospitalized in Amin Hospital – a COVID-19 referral center in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. This case highlights the importance of paying attention to serious and less common or less known clinical manifestations other than fever, dry cough, dyspnea, and myalgia.

S. (1976). Thorax, 31,[361][362][363][364]. Oesophageal moniliasis causing fistula formation and lung abscess. Oesophageal moniliasis is reviewed and the incidence of fistula formation discussed. A case of oesophageal moniliasis without any predisposing factors, with fistula formation and lung abscess, is presented.

Sehhat, S. and Amirie, S. A. (1977). Thorax, 32,[697][698][699]. Oesophageal reconstruction for complete stenosis due to dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Oesophageal involvement in epidermolysis bullosa is discussed. Two patients, a brother and sister, with stricture of the oesophagus due to the disease are described. The strictures were treated by resection and end-to-end oesophageial anastomosis and the patients have been relieved of dysphagia for the subsequent three years.Epidermolysis bullosa is a rare chronic hereditary disorder involving the skin and mucous membranes characterised by the development of bullae, which may appear spontaneously or as a result of trauma.Two main types of epidermolysis bullosa are recognised (Newcomer et al., 1956;Schnyder and Eichhoff, 1964;Gedde-Dahl, 1971). The simple type occurs mainly in infants and rarely affects the mucosae. In the second type, hyperplastic and dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, the mucosae are involved in 23% of patients. In addition, a third less common and more serious type has been described, namely, polydysplastic epidermolysis bullosa.Involvement of the oesophagus during the course of epidermolysis bullosa is uncommon. Nix and Christianson (1965) Eight years later the oesophagus was completely obstructed and the patient was unable to swallow saliva. A gastrostomy was done. One year later, at the time of his admission to hospital, a barium swallow showed an almost complete stenosis just below the pharyngo-oesophageal junction (Fig. 1). He was operated on through an oblique incision on 697 on 9 May 2018 by guest. Protected by copyright.
