Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is believed to have originated in the Hua nan South China Seafood Market in Wuhan and can present with a spectrum of clinical manifestations. We report the case of 24-year-old male patient who developed chest pain after administration of the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and who was diagnosed with myocarditis on work-up.

The World Health Organization has declared novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a global public health emergency. Although respiratory symptoms predominate in COVID-19, thrombosis can occur in patients with COVID-19. This paper reports a case of an 82-year-old female with a prior medical history of hypertension, diabetes presenting with fever and cough, and was diagnosed with COVID-19. The patient subsequently developed progressively worsening of abdominal distention, tenderness, and underwent emergent laparotomy. She was found to have a gangrenous colon. This case adds to the limited literature regarding the extrapulmonary complications of COVID-19.

Splanchnic vein thrombosis in COVID-19: A review of literature Dear Editor , Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) can predispose to both venous and arterial thromboembolism [1-4]. Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) including portal, mesenteric, splenic vein thrombosis and the Budd-Chiari syndrome, is a manifestation of unusual site venous thromboembolism. SVT usually occurs in association with cirrhosis, liver malignancy or in patients with inherited or acquired thrombophilia [5]. Limited literature is available regarding SVT in COVID-19. We did an extensive literature review on COVID-19 associated SVT. We searched PubMed for this literature review using search terms 'COVID-19 and splanchnic vein thrombosis, 'COVID-19 and portal vein thrombosis', 'COVID-19 and mesenteric vein thrombosis', COVID-19 and Budd-Chiari syndrome', COVID-19 and hepatic vein thrombosis' and 'COVID-19 and splenic vein thrombosis'. All the case reports with COVID-19 associated SVT so far were reviewed, and relevant data was abstracted from these studies. COVID-19 diagnosis was made by PCR assay except in one patient it was negative (suspected COVID-19). The clinical features, laboratory values and outcome are summarized in Table 1 [6-11]. We found total of six patients. The median age of patients was 58 years (range 27-79 years) and 50% were male. Presenting symptoms were vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, shortness of breath, jaundice and altered mental status. None of the patients had cirrhosis or hepatocellular cancer. Work up done to rule out known associated inherited or acquired

Influenza and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 pandemic is caused by a novel virus-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Influenza is an infectious respiratory disease, caused by influenza A and influenza B viruses. We describe the three cases of influenza and COVID-19 co-infection.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health emergency. COVID-19 is most well known for affecting the respiratory system, although it can also result in several extrapulmonary manifestations. Limited literature is available regarding rhabdomyolysis in COVID-19. We report four cases of rhabdomyolysis in COVID-19 patients. High index of suspicion is required for the appropriate clinical scenario to recognize this life-threatening situation so that complications can be avoided

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and represents a potentially fatal disease. COVID-19 is associated with a hypercoagulable state leading to increased incidence of venous thromboembolism. Arterial thrombosis has been reported, but the prevalence is not known. Herein, we report an unusual presentation of a 77-year-old male who presented with dyspnea and pain in left leg and was found to have acute limb ischemia. Our case adds to the limited literature regarding arterial thrombosis in COVID-19.
