Worldwide vaccine inequality threatens to unleash the next COVID-19 variant
On a warm South African day in mid-November 2021, Dr. Angelique Coetzee examined a 29-year-old man complaining of extreme fatigue and severe headaches. The symptoms seemed more consistent with heat stroke than the sore throat and fever she had noticed in her patients with COVID-19. At the end of the day, after seeing several similar cases test positive for COVID-19, Dr. Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, became convinced that something was amiss. Within a week, investigators determined that her patients were infected with a new variant possessing multiple mutations (McKeever, 2021), B.1.1.529 BA.1 or “Omicron”.

Delirium severity in critical patients with COVID-19 from an Infectious Disease Intensive Care Unit
SARS-CoV-2 causes potentially serious respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurologic and/or liver disorders. The prevalence of neurologic complications associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection varies according to the different studies, with the most common manifestations being headache, anosmia, and ageusia (Andreia Costa, 2020). Other complications include stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular symptoms, and delirium (Mao et al., 2020; Zubair et al., 2020).

Case Report: COVID-19 Infection and Cervical Artery Dissection
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2022 Jan 24:tpmd210999. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-0999. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 45-year-old woman presented 3 days after symptom resolution from a COVID-19 infection with a left vertebral artery dissection with no known preceding trauma or underlying disposition. She subsequently suffered a left lateral medullary stroke 15 hours after her initial presentation. Cervical artery dissections (CeAD) can occur in the absence of trauma, and in some cases, infection may be a contributing factor. COVID-19 infection can cause an endotheliopathy and inflammatory response, which may contribute to intimal vessel ...

Fatal Staphylococcus Aureus Endocarditis Misdiagnosed as Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
We present a case of a 10-year-old male with Staphylococcus aureus mitral endocarditis who was initially misdiagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with coronavirus disease 2019, with eventual fatal outcome due to brain hemorrhage after cardiac intervention. Our case differs from recent studies, in which microbleeds did not increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke or global mortality risk.
