Severe Post-Viral Polymyositis after COVID-19 in Childhood: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Children 2024, 11, 1011
> https://doi.org/10.3390/children11081011

Keywords: myositis; polymyositis; post-viral; post-COVID; SARS-CoV-2; children; pediatric
Conclusion: In conclusion, this clinical case reveals a relatively new and poorly studied post-infectious variant of severe polymyositis in a child with previous COVID-19 infection. This is an example of …weiterlesen successful immunosuppressive therapy, which led to a great improvement in the patient’s clinical condition and laboratory markers. As the data about this condition in children are lacking, more clinical experience and further studies are necessary to explain the mechanisms of post-COVID-induced autoimmune pathologies and find the most appropriate management solution.

Conclusion: Widespread SARS-CoV-2 infections in Australia mean that even a small proportion of infected people developing long COVID-related illness and disability could have important population health and …weiterlesen economic effects. A paradigm shift is needed, from a sole focus on the immediate effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to preventing and treating COVID-19 and treating long COVID, with implications for vaccine and antiviral policy and other mitigation of COVID-19.

Keywords: brain, cardiovascular, ion channels, neurovascular coupling
Conclusion: If the authors are correct then cognitive stress at least temporarily impairs the ability of the brain to speed resources (in the form of oxygen in the blood) to parts of the brain that need it – …weiterlesen producing fatigue. (That sounds like postexertional malaise of the brain to me.)
