Case 3 Cur.Dr Nehal (Sola Ahmedabad)
History A 14 year old male child presented with complaints of : - Pain in abdomen for 10-12 days, periumbilical region - Fever for 10-12 days, high grade - Bloody diarrhoea for 10 days - Redness of eyes for 8-10 days - Cough, dry nature on and off - Neck swelling
There was no significant event on the day of admission except fever. All routine investigations were sent. Due to prolonged fever, extra investigations were drawn like serum Widal , HIV, HbsAg , stool and urine routine and culture. A covid-19 RT-PCR swab was also sent along with ferritin, d-Dimer. Workup of tuberculosis was done. An electrocardiogram was done which was normal. Ophthalmology reference was done concluded subconjunctival congestive and subconjunctival haemorrhages with normal vision. His routine investigations were normal. Tb workup normal. Sonography of abdomen was normal, sonography of neck suggested enlarged lymph nodes bilaterally of inflammatory origin. Covid-19 RT-PCR was negative but d-Dimer and ferritin were high . On day 2 of admission (24/7/20), he was provisionally diagnosed with covid-19 linked syndrome - PIMS ( Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was started. To confirm the diagnosis a covid-19 antibody test was done which was positive . So methylprednisolone was also started. 2D echo of heart was done which suggested mild dilatation of coronary arteries ., thus aspirin was also started in the patient . apTT was slightly prolonged so fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was also given.
Next day, 3rd day of admission (25/7/20), he had mild distress. Chest X-ray was done which was normal. A HRCT chest was planned which suggested - patchy areas of consolidation in postero -basal segment of bilateral lower lobes along with bilateral mild pleural effusion . Next day was uneventful. Vitals were stable. There was no respiratory distress, no fever for last 36 hours, decrease in conjunctival congestion, no diarrhoea or dysentry and appetite had improved. On 5th day of admission his blood investigations were repeated to see for improvement in parameters.
