    Abstract VZV vasculopathy has been associated with granulomatous vasculitis where there is vessel wall damage and transmural inflammation. VZV vasculopathy has been previously called granulomatous angiitis, VZV vasculitis or post-varicella arteriopathy. Intracerebral VZV vasculopathy can occur in children and adults, either after primary infection or after viral reactivation. Where-as varicella primary infection is a common cause of stroke in children, in adults there is an increased risk of stroke after herpes zoster. Here we present a 38-year-old immunocompromised patient who presents to us with multiple cerebral infarcts post primary infection and imaging showing distribution similar to those in children.

    Abstract The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 has been expanding worldwide. As of 17 April 2020, the death toll stands at a sobering 147,027 and over two million cases, this has been straining the health care systems all over. Respiratory failure has been cited as the major cause of death but here we present a case about a patient who instead succumbed to severe metabolic acidosis with multiple organ failure.

    Abstract Objectives: The recommended treatment for COVID-19 includes antiviral drugs, corticosteroids, immunomodulatory drugs, low molecular weight heparin, as well as antibiotics. Although COVID-19 is a viral disease, many studies indicate that antibiotics are prescribed frequently, mainly to treat suspected bacterial coinfection. At the same time, the prevalence of bacterial coinfections during COVID-19 is rather low indicating the significant antibiotic overuse in these patients. It is well known that this can trigger antibiotic bacterial resistance, and once it emerges the reversal of resistance is a complex and long-lasting process. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of bacterial coinfections during the COVID-19 and to analyze the antibiotic treatment justification during this pandemic in Oman.
    Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted using the Royal Hospital COVID-19 Registry Database. The study analyzed demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as laboratory parameters and antibiotic treatment of hospitalized patients.
    Results: During the study period, 584 patients were enrolled in the analysis. Coinfection was rare as it was confirmed in 0.9% of patients. Superinfections were present in 15.2% of patients. Gram-negative bacteria were isolated in 95 (69.9%) samples, gram-positive bacteria in 25 (18.4%) samples, while
    Conclusions: During COVID-19, coinfections are rarely seen and the overuse of antibiotics is not justified. The incidence of superinfections is the same as in other patients in healthcare settings caused by the same resistant microorganisms, which implies the use of even more.

    Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a serious global public health challenge, may have accelerated development during the COVID-19 pandemic because antibiotics were prescribed for COVID-19. This study aimed to assess antibiotics use before and during the pandemic and correlate the results with the rate of resistant microorganisms detected in hospitalized patients during the study period. This single-center study looked retrospectively at four years of data (2018-2021) from Royal Hospital, Muscat, which is the biggest hospital in Oman with approximately 60,000 hospital admissions yearly. The consumption rate of ceftriaxone, piperacillin tazobactam, meropenem, and vancomycin was presented as the antibiotic consumption index, the ratio of defined daily dose (DDD) per 100 bed days. Analyses were performed using the nonparametric test for trend across the study period. Correlation between antibiotic consumption indexes and the isolated microorganisms in the four-year study period was performed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. We compared data from the pre-COVID-19 to the COVID-19 period. Though more patients were admitted pre-COVID-19 (132,828 versus 119,191 during COVID-19), more antibiotics were consumed during the pandemic (7350 versus 7915); vancomycin and ceftriaxone had higher consumption during than before the pandemic (

    Abstract Objective: To compile current best practices regarding tracheostomy decision making, care, and technical performance during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
    Data sources: Articles listed in PubMed and Google sources for up-to-date information.
    Review methods: All sources presenting objective evidence related to the topic were reviewed and distilled.
    Conclusions: Tracheostomy in patients with coronavirus disease should be a rare event yet one that requires significant decision making and procedural deliberation. Indications for surgery must be balanced by risk of disease transmission to health care workers. Considerations are given to personal protective equipment, viral testing, and alternatives.
    Implications for practice: Otolaryngologists worldwide must be aware of these considerations to provide safe patient care without undue risk to themselves or their hospital coworkers.
