    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by coronavirus has spread worldwide and has become the deadliest pandemic of the 21st century. Such rapid spread is predominantly attributed to the poor diagnosis and its asymptomatic transmission. In the absence of treatment regime, timely diagnosis is the best available remedy that can restrict its spread. An early diagnosis of COVID-19 is critical for determining the line of treatment and preventing long term complications in the infected subject. Unfortunately, available rapid antigen and antibody kits are known to be erroneous whereas reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction based tests are expensive, viral load dependent and at times inconclusive. In current scenario, the false-negative results imposed a major risk to the individual patient care and also to the efforts for containing the spread at the population level, where as false positives are traumatic for families and can lead to improper treatment resulting in severe complications. In this article, the limitations of available diagnostic procedures have been elaborated and plausible combination approach has been advised.

    Abstract Biofilm protects bacteria from stress and hostile environment. Crystal violet (CV) assay is the most popular method for biofilm determination adopted by different laboratories so far. However, biofilm layer formed at the liquid-air interphase known as pellicle is extremely sensitive to its washing and staining steps. Early phase biofilms are also prone to damage by the latter steps. In bacteria like mycobacteria, biofilm formation occurs largely at the liquid-air interphase which is susceptible to loss. In the proposed protocol, loss of such biofilm layer was prevented. In place of inverting and discarding the media which can lead to the loss of the aerobic biofilm layer in CV assay, media was removed from the formed biofilm with the help of a syringe and biofilm layer was allowed to dry. The staining and washing steps were avoided, and an organic solvent-tetrahydrofuran (THF) was deployed to dissolve the biofilm, and the absorbance was recorded at 595 nm. The protocol was tested for biofilm estimation of E. coli, B. subtilis and M. smegmatis, and compared with the traditional CV assays. Isoniazid drug molecule, a known inhibitor of M. smegmatis biofilm, was tested and its inhibitory effects were quantified by the proposed protocol. For ease in referring, this method has been described as the Syal method for biofilm quantification. This new method was found to be useful for the estimation of early phase biofilm and aerobic biofilm layer formed at the liquid-air interphase. The biofilms formed by all three tested bacteria-B. subtilis, E. coli and M. smegmatis, were precisely quantified.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2, an etiological agent of COVID-19, has been reported to inflict remarkably diverse manifestations in different subjects across the globe. Though patients with COVID-19 predominantly have fever, respiratory and constitutional symptoms, atypical presentations are becoming increasingly evident. COVID-19 may predispose to both venous and arterial thromboembolism due to excessive inflammation, hypoxia, immobilization, and diffuse intravascular coagulation in moderate to severe symptomatic cases. In this case report, we are reporting thromboembolic complications of COVID-19 in a mild symptomatic subject incidentally diagnosed with mesenteric venous occlusion with no abdominal symptoms. Early recognition of the abdominal symptoms, diagnosis, initiation of anticoagulants, and timely surgical intervention may improvise the outcome in a patient with COVID-19 infection-induced mesenteric thrombosis. Superior mesenteric artery and venous thrombosis may lead to subsequent ischemia necessitating emergency laparotomy. Thus, the usage of low-dose anticoagulants in all the patients of COVID-19 irrespective of the categorization into mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19 disease should be considered.
