“…The literature search found nine case reports and case series on 14 patients that reported difficulty in diagnosing and management of patients with coronavirus infection and significant cardiovascular co-morbidities 68 , 135 – 142 (Supplementary Material Table 5). The quality of studies was poor due to studies having a high risk of selection bias, low representativeness, and lack of control population.…”

Background The global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has highlighted the importance of understanding the cardiovascular implications of coronavirus infections, with more severe disease in those with cardiovascular co-morbidities, and resulting cardiac manifestations such as myocardial injury, arrhythmias, and heart failure. Design A systematic review of the current knowledge on the effects of coronavirus infection on the cardiovascular system in humans was performed and results were summarized. Methods Databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, Chinese Knowledge Resource Integrated Database and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were searched on 20 March 2020. Results In total, 135 studies were included, involving severe acute respiratory syndrome, Middle East respiratory syndrome, coronavirus disease 2019 and other coronaviruses. Most were case reports, case series and cohort studies of poor to fair quality. In post-mortem examinations of subjects who died from infection, around half had virus identified in heart tissues in severe acute respiratory syndrome, but none in Middle East respiratory syndrome and coronavirus disease 2019. Cardiac manifestations reported include tachycardia, bradycardia, arrhythmias, and myocardial injury, secondary to both systemic infection and treatment. Cardiac injury and arrhythmias are more prevalent in coronavirus disease 2019, and elevated cardiac markers are associated with intensive care unit admission and death. In severe acute respiratory syndrome, Middle East respiratory syndrome, and coronavirus disease 2019, comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and heart disease are associated with intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, and mortality. There were cases of misdiagnosis due to overlapping presentations of cardiovascular diseases and coronavirus infections, leading to hospital spread and delayed management of life-threatening conditions. Conclusion This review highlighted the ways in which coronaviruses affect cardiovascular function and interacts with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases.

It has not been reported among patients with COVID-19, while it has been described in a patient with MERS-CoV causing a fatal pneumonia [ 39 ]. Orbital edema developing during the course of COVID-19 infection necessitates the use of culture and orbital MRI to rule out the invasive fungal infections.…”

Background. The problem of timely diagnosis of complications of acute destructive pneumonia accompanied by pyofibrothorax remains relevant. The study was aimed to investigate the features of ultrasound diagnosis (ultrasound) of the condition of the visceral and parietal pleural lamina in acute destructive pneumonia in children at different stages of the disease. Materials and methods. In the departments of purulent surgery and pulmonology of the Regional Children’s Hospital of Dnipro for the period of 5 years, there were observed about 475 children aged from 1 to 17 years with pneumonia, purulent-destructive changes in the lungs and pleura. For analysis and further study, we choose a group of 50 patients of different age groups, who underwent ultrasound in real time without prior preparation of patients. The condition of the parietal and visceral pleural lamina at the different stages of diagnosis and treatment was studied. Results. A group of patients aged from 4 to 10 years was performed an ultrasound of the pleural cavities in real time without prior preparation on the paraspinal, scapular, axillary, midclavicular, and thoracic lines when admitted to the hospital and on the first day of treatment. Ultrasound was used to determine the structure and volume of free fluid as well as the condition of the parietal and visceral pleural lamina, their thickness, and other features. The use of ultrasound allowed diagnosing the early manifestations of pyofibrothorax and determining the condition of the parietal and visceral pleural lamina in the children with destructive pneumonia. Conclusion. Further improvement of the algorithm of ultrasound diagnosis of acute destructive pneumonia in children with pyofibrothorax will reduce radiation exposure to a child’s body, increase the efficiency of the development and improvement of treatment methods at the stages of pyofibrotorax, reduce the duration of inpatient treatment.
