Coronavirus is a source of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to complications such as over-coagulation, blood stasis, and endothelial damage. Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a very serious and rare disease. In this study, we report tow rare case of women with coronavirus who were hospitalized with a right ovarian vein thrombosis mimicking acute abdomen who progressed well on anticoagulation. Our report adds further document in Side effects and rare localisation of obstruction of veins and arteries in patient with corona virus.

Introduction: coronavirus disease is now a global pandemic due to rapid human-to-human transmission. It can cause mild to fatal respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases. We aimed to find out whether elevated D-dimer levels are a predictor of the bad progression of COVID-19 to help reducing the mortality. Methods: the data of COVID-19 patients from March 21, 2020 to April 24, 2020 were retrieved from the Cheick Khalifa Hospital database. We used the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to get the optimum cutoff value of D-dimer levels on admission and after 5 days. We used these cutoffs to divide patients into two groups and compare the in-hospital mortality between them to assess the prognosis value of D-dimer levels. Results: the data of COVID-19 patients from March 21, 2020 to April 24, 2020 were retrieved from the Cheick Khalifa Hospital database. We used the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to get the optimum cutoff value of D-dimer levels on admission and after 5 days. We used these cutoffs to divide patients into two groups and compare the in-hospital mortality between them to assess the prognosis value of D-dimer levels. 89 patients were included in this study, of whom 79 were discharged and 10 died in hospital. The optimum cutoff value to predict mortality in patient using D-dimer levels on admission was 668 ng/ml (sensitivity 90%, specificity 63.3%, Areas under the ROC curve 0,775). As for D-dimer levels on day 5, it was 1360 ng/ml (sensitivity 100%, specificity 88,6%, Areas under the ROC curve 0.946). The group with D-dimer levels on day 5 > 1360 ng/ml (19 patients) had a worst evolution and a higher incidence of mortality compared to the group with D-dimer < 1360 ng/ml (69 patients) (10/19 vs 0/69, P = 0,0002). Conclusion: D-dimer greater than 1360 ng/ml on day 5 could help clinicians identify patients with poor prognosis at an early stage of COVID-19.

Background: Infection with the novel coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), producing a clinical syndrome known as COVID-19, is a budding infectious disease that first manifested in December 2019 in China and subsequently spread worldwide. Objectives: We performed an analysis of cardiac injury markers to determine their usefulness as predictors of severity and mortality Methods: In a retrospective study, we enrolled 73 patients with confirmed diagnoses of COVID-19, from March 21, 2020, to April 24, 2020. Serial tests of cardiac injury markers, including cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP), and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), were considered for the analysis of potential cardiac damage. Results: Among 149 patients with confirmed COVID-19, data from 73 patients were studied. Of them, 58 (79.46%) patients were discharged, and 15 (20.54 %) patients died. The mean age was 58.50 (14.66) years. Patients were classified into mild (39 cases), severe (17 cases), and critical (17 cases) groups. The peak cardiac troponin I level (0.11 ng/mL [IQR: 0.33–0.20]), peak NT-pro BNP level (5840.35 pg/mL [IQR: 1609.39 – 10071.32]), and peak LDH level (578.65 UI/l[IQR: 313.40 – 843.90]) were significantly higher in the critical group, and the three cardiac injury parameters were significantly higher in the death group, suggesting that they are significantly associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: The understanding of cardiovascular system injury caused by SARS-CoV-2 and its underlying mechanisms is of great importance for the early clinical management of these patients and mortality reduction.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the effectiveness of the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is widely discussed. This treatment can cause many severe cardiac side effects that makes us discuss its utility. The aim of this study is to describe the cardiovascular effect of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin by analyzing surface ECG in patients with COVID-19. This observational cohort study included Moroccan patients with COVID-19 diagnosis and were hospitalized in
