    Abstract With the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been different reports about the development of autoimmune diseases once the infection is controlled. After entering the respiratory epithelial cells, SARS-CoV-2-the virus that causes the disease-triggers a severe inflammatory state in some patients known as "cytokine storm" and the development of thrombotic phenomena-both conditions being associated with high mortality. Patients additionally present severe lymphopenia and, in some cases, complement consumption and autoantibody development. There is a normalization of lymphocytes once the infection is controlled. After this, autoimmune conditions of unknown etiology may occur. A hypothesis for the development of post-COVID-19 autoimmunity is proposed based on the consequences of both a transient immunosuppression (both of innate and acquired immunity) in which self-tolerance is lost and an inappropriate form of immune reconstitution that amplifies the process.

    Abstract This case illustrates the adverse cognitive and affective effects associated with the use of an intrauterine hormonal contraceptive, which could be confused with symptoms of early onset dementia. We present a case of a 42-year-old woman diagnosed with seronegative spondyloarthropathy who subsequently developed anxiety and depressive symptoms after the implantation of a Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine System (LNG-IUS). Three years later, she began to experience memory and attentional failures, refractory pain, and severe depression. The progression of psychiatric symptoms led to a diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder and treatment with antidepressants and anxiolytics. Due to cognitive and psychiatric symptoms, autoimmune encephalitis was considered, but no improvement was shown with treatment. Early onset dementia was suspected, and a brain PET scan revealed frontal lobe hypometabolism. An adverse effect of LNG-IUS was considered; after its removal, mood and cognitive function improvements were observed. This case report emphasizes the importance of considering organic causes of unexplained psychiatric manifestations and highlights the potential impact of hormonal interventions on mental health.

    Abstract Introduction: Opioids are widely used for pain management, and increased intracranial pressure (ICP) has been evidenced in some cases. We reported a patient with severe cerebral edema after initiating methadone and its complete resolution upon discontinuing the medication. Additionally, a review of the literature is made.
    Case report: A 53-year-old woman patient with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus developed mechanic chronic lower back pain, refractory to conventional treatments. She presented improvement with oxycodone. She withdrew this medication due to a lack of supplies in her country (Colombia) and showed withdrawal symptoms. She consulted the emergency department, where oral methadone was started and symptom control was achieved. Three days after admission, she presented intense headaches and emesis. A brain CT scan was performed in which severe cerebral edema was appreciated. Methadone was discontinued, and neurological symptoms quickly disappeared. A follow-up brain CT scan was performed later, finding full resolution of the edema.
    Conclusion: A case of severe cerebral edema associated with the initiation of oral methadone and its rapid resolution without neurological sequelae after its withdrawal is presented, clinicians must be attentive to this adverse event.

    Abstract Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has become a worldwide pandemic since first discovered in 2019. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flare has been reported in the post-infectious period. In Colombia, the fourth pandemic wave started at the beginning of 2022 when we observed flare of 3 SLE patients during active infection.
    Case presentation: We describe 3 patients with inactive SLE, who presented coronavirus disease 2019 and severe flare in early 2022, 2 patients with nephritis and 1 with severe thrombocytopenia. All patients had increase of antinuclear and anti-DNA antibody titers and complement consumption.
    Conclusions: Three cases with SLE flare concomitant with active SARS-CoV-2 infection were different from others reported earlier in the pandemic with post-infectious flare.

    Abstract In Colombia, there are two species of bushmaster snakes, Lachesis acrochorda, which is distributed mainly in the west of the country (in the Choco region), and Lachesis muta in the southeast (in the Amazon and Orinoquia region), whose presence has been reduced due to the destruction of their habitats. Captive maintenance is challenging, making it difficult to obtain their venom for study and antivenom manufacturing. They are the largest vipers in the world. The occurrence of human envenomation is quite rare, but when it occurs, it is associated with high mortality. Bushmaster venom is necrotizing, hemorrhagic, myotoxic, hemolytic, and cardiovascular depressant. Due to the presence of bradycardia, hypotension, emesis, and diarrhea in some patients (Lachesis syndrome), the possibility of a vagal or cholinergic effect is raised. The treatment of envenomation is hindered by the scarcity of antivenom and the need to use high doses. A review of the most relevant biological and medical aspects of bushmaster snakes is presented, mainly for those occurring in Colombia, to facilitate their recognition and raise awareness about the need for special attention to improve their conservation and advance scientific knowledge, in particular, about their venom.
