“…Our patient had history of COVID-19 however developed leukemoid reaction and immunosuppression resulting in opportunistic infection resulting in necrotising fasciitis.A similar case of leukemoid reaction following remission of COVID-19 was reported by Nekooghadam et al and during the COVID-19 infection by Ghodiwala et al [8,10]. Long Covid syndrome is defined as persistence of inflammation in pateints who recovered from COVID-19 for a period of more than three months.…”

“…One of the common factors associated with both leukemoid reaction and immunosuppression is COVID-19 Coronavirus infectious disease 2019 results in dysregulation of the immune system ultimately causing immunosuppression.. Also, there have been reports of COVID-19 associated leukemoid reaction [8]. This makes COVID-19 a common link amongst the leukemoid reaction as well as immunosuppression which was seen in our case.…”

Necrotizing fasciitis is infrequently encountered but highly fatal group of infections. It is a infection of any of the three layers of soft tissue compartments which includes the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, superficial fascia,deep fascia or the muscle along with necrotising changes. During the initial stages it might be tricky to differentiate cellulitis and other infections of the superficial skin from necrotising fasciitis leading to an delay in the diagnosis. Prompt diagnosis and management can reduce mortality .This case report highlights a previously unreported presentation of necrotising fasciitis of breast in the form of leukemoid reaction encountered in the rural central India following COVID-19 infection.

“…A subdural empyema develops as a result of septic thrombophlebitis of the mucosal sinus veins, which causes retrograde infection extension with bacterial drainage into the dural venous sinuses and cortical veins. Subdural empyema can also develop as a side effect of head trauma, from an infection of a subdural effusion, or from a direct infection of the subdural space occurring during a neurosurgical procedure like draining a subdural hematoma [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Background: An inflammation of the mucous membranes in the paranasal sinuses is known as paranasal sinusitis. The facial bones close to, behind, and above the nose have cavities called sinuses. All paranasal sinuses have mucous membrane lining and are joined to the nasal cavities.Case presentation: A 70 years old male came to the Ear Nose Throat department with the chief complaint of generalized headache , dull activity .Also complaint of reduce vision on both eye , blur vision of near by object and unable to see distant object, reduced sensation of smell .

Introduction: Meningoencephalitis and meningitis have a broad differential diagnosis: Infections caused by entero-viruses, human HPV types 1-4, 5, and 6, paramyxovirus (mumps), measles virus, and adenoviruses are among the causes of T.B. Clinical signs of primary H.I.V. infection cause hyperthermia, exhaustion, cold and cough, migraine, nasal cavity inflammation, widespread allergy, lymphadenopathy, and digestive issues. 2 Up to 17% of individuals get aseptic meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and encephalitis, which could be related to a quicker course of treatment for the disease and complication. After the onset of the initial H.I.V. infection symptoms and all other symptoms have subsided, neurological symptoms may develop or show up to 3 months later. Respiratory failure is a reasonably typical presentation to the I.C.U. in HIV-infected individuals. Since the meningoencephalitis epidemic, the overall incidence of Pneumocystis jiroveci as a cause of respiratory failure has decreased. There is evidence that continuing or initiating HAART in critically sick H.I.V. patients is helpful and should be addressed following a multidisciplinary discussion. Conclusion: One instance of meningoencephalitis and two cases of meningitis caused by primary H.I.V. infection is discussed. Patients with H.I.V. frequently enter the I.C.U. Due to respiratory insufficiency. Since the AIDS crisis, Pneumocystis jirovecii has generally become less common as a cause of respiratory failure. There is proof that starting or maintaining HAART is suitable for H.I.V. patients who are critically sick, so this should be taken into consideration following a multidisciplinary discussion. A literature analysis was carried out because critical care professionals have significant moral and practical repercussions when selecting whether to assist HIV-infected patients in the I.C.U.
