Over the last three years, the Coronavirus-19 disease has been a global health emergency, playing a primary role in the international scientific community. Clinical activity and scientific research have concentrated their efforts on facing the pandemic, allowing the description of novel pathologies correlated to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), such as the Multisystemic Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and Adults (MIS-C, MIS-A). Conversely, this shift of attention to COVID-19 disease and its complications could, in some cases, have delayed and underestimated the diagnosis of diseases not associated with SARS-CoV-2, including rare diseases. Here we describe the diagnostic process that led to the definition of a rare vasculitis in a young woman with a recent clinical history of SARS-CoV-2.
在过去三年中,冠状病毒病-19一直是全球卫生紧急事件,在国际科学界发挥着主要作用。临床活动和科学研究都集中精力应对这一疫情,从而得以描述与严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)相关的新发病理,如儿童和成人多系统炎症综合征(MIS-C、MIS-A)。相反,这种对COVID-19疾病及其并发症的关注转移,在某些情况下可能会延迟并低估与SARS-CoV-2无关的疾病的诊断,包括罕见病。在此,我们描述了一名近期有SARS-CoV-2临床病史的年轻女性罕见血管炎的诊断过程。
