Hepatitis A is one of the most common causes of acute viral hepatitis in children. Immunological manifestations involving the nervous system are rare with hepatitis A infection. We report a...
We report a case of a toddler who presented with acute liver failure secondary to hepatitis A infection. The child showed clinical and laboratory improvement initially with conservative management. However, after the initial improvement, she developed acute-onset ptosis along with areflexia.

There is a substantial body of knowledge on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on injuries showing frequent but inconsistent reductions in both volume and pattern. Yet, studies specifically addressing...
During the restrictions implemented to contend the pandemic in Mozambique in 2020, although each restriction period saw a drop in the volume of injury admissions at central hospitals, the pattern of child, injury and outcome characteristics did not change much, except for an excess of home and burn injuries in the first, more restrictive...

Objective was to determine the impact of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection on patient with concomitant active cancer and CVD. Methods The researchers extracted and analyzed data from the National COVID Cohort...
The study found that patients with both CVD and active cancer suffered relatively worse outcomes when they had acute SARS-CoV-2 infection during early and alpha surges in the United States. These findings highlight the need for improved management strategies and further research to better understand the impact of the virus on vulnerable...
