As the number of COVID-19 cases increasing, more and more patients are concerning about alopecia, a sequela after SARS-CoV-2 infection. We here report a case of a 38-year-old woman with a typical acute telogen effluvium (ATE) after recovery from COVID-19.

A Case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Presenting with Seizures Secondary to Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis
Coronavirus disease 2019, seizures, Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. COVID-19-associated thrombotic events are recognized. A wide variety of neurological presentations have been recently documented. We report the first case of COVID-19 presenting with generalized seizure secondary to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

We report a case of a 75-year-old woman diagnosed with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complicated by acute cerebral infarction. The patient was admitted to our hospital on 5 February 2020 with severe COVID-19. On 20 February 2020, she was diagnosed with concomitant acute cerebral infarction via head computed tomography (CT) and deep vein thrombosis in both lower limbs. After symptomatic and supportive treatments, the patient was discharged on 13 March 2020. She will comply with quarantine for another 2 weeks and receive rehabilitation training from a specialist doctor. Cerebral infarction should be considered and promptly managed in patients with COVID-19.

A Case of COVID-19 Pneumonia in a Young Male with Full Body Rash as a Presenting Symptom
Background: In December 2019 the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, was identified in Wuhan, China. In the ensuing months, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally and case load is exponentially increasing across the United States. Emergency departments have adopted screening and triage procedures to identify potential cases and isolate them during evaluation. Case Presentation: We describe a case of COVID-19 pneumonia requiring hospitalization that presented with fever and extensive rash as the primary presenting symptoms. Rash has only been rarely reported in COVID-19 patients, and has not been previously described.

A case of diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis coexistent with giant hemangioma: case report and literature review.
computed tomography, Magnetic resonance imaging, Diffuse hepatic hemangiomatosis, giant hemangioma
We report a case of hepatic hemangiomatosis coexistent with a giant hepatic hemangioma diagnosed in the context of the study for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Computed tomography showed irregular contours of the left hepatic lobe with a lesion that compromised the whole lobe, with peripheral uptake and a centripetal tendency in the late phase, compatible with bulky cavernous hemangioma, as well as another lesion with the same characteristics in segment VI. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen showed multiple hepatic hemangiomas observed in both lobes involving all segments, some of them smaller than 1 cm, which were hyperintense in the T2-weighted sequences and showed progressive contrast enhancement. This case illustrates the incidental diagnosis of this condition during the study for another pathology, the radiological features that are important to differentiate from other tumoral findings, and the possible management strategies to follow.

A case of extremely prolonged viral shedding: Could cell cultures be a diagnostic tool to drive COVID-19 patient discharge?
serology, covid-19, RT-PCR, SARS-CoV-2, Viral culture
This study addressed the case of a patient with prolonged COVID-19 viral shedding, reported by Real-Time PCR, until 71 days from symptom onset. However, viral culture received negative results after 30 days from symptom onset. Therefore, viral culture may be a worthwhile test for patients requiring discharge, in particular for those presenting prolonged viral shedding.

A case of hemolytic anemia associated with interstitial lung disease, arthralgia and fever caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Hemolytic Anemia, interstitial lung disease, agglutinin
Pulmonary interstitiopathies have become the most diagnosed forms of pneumonia in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The spectrum of interstitiopathies is broad and includes idiopathic diseases and secondary forms. In April 2020, a 36-year-old man admitted to our department for arthralgias, fever, asthenia, cough, and dyspnea. In January 2020 fever, cough, arthralgias and asthenia appeared. In April, his general condition worsened with development of macrohematuria, malaise, and intense asthenia. On admission, the patient presented pale, asthenic and symptomatic for dyspnea and arthralgias. There was objective joint pain in the small joints of the hands, elbow, and knees with morning stiffness and decreased strength. CT of the chest documented ground-glass opacities in both lung fields. He performed 2 swabs for SARS-CoV2, which were negative. On hematochemical examination: IgM 332 mg/dL and ferritin 700.2 ng/ml. At venous blood smear peripheral venous blood, agglutination of erythrocytes. The serology (IgM) for M. Pneumoniae was positive with agglutinins in the serum; Doxaciclina was started. There was a progressive normalization of hemoglobin levels and cold agglutinins were gradually reduced and were no longer detected at 15 days after the start of treatment. At one month after discharge, pulmonary function had fully recovered and the picture of hemolytic anemia was resolved.
