          Abstract

          Resumen En diciembre de 2019 se detectó por primera vez en la ciudad china de Wuhan una nueva enfermedad infecciosa con el nombre oficial de COVID-19, causada por un nuevo tipo de coronavirus denominado virus SARS-CoV-2, la infección se ha propagado rápida y extensamente por todo el mundo, por lo que el 11 de marzo de 2020 la Organización Mundial de la Salud la declaró pandemia. Al tratarse de una nueva infección, no existe por el momento evidencia que permita recomendar un tratamiento específico, en la actualidad el único medicamento con indicación autorizada por la Agencia Europea de Medicamentos (EMA) es el remdesivir. A continuación presentamos el caso de una reacción adversa a remdesivir, si bien no fue grave, cabe destacar la importancia de notificar efectos adversos y más en medicamentos novedosos como este.

          Abstract In December 2019, a new infectious disease with the official name of COVID-19 was detected for the first time in the Chinese city of Wuhan, caused by a new type of coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 virus, the infection has spread rapidly and widely throughout the world, which is why on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. As it is a new infection, there is currently no evidence to recommend a specific treatment, currently the only drug with an indication authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is remdesivir. We present the case of an adverse reaction to remdesivir, although it was not serious, it is worth highlighting the importance of reporting adverse effects and more in novel drugs like this one.

          Dexamethasone in Hospitalized Patients with Covid-19 — Preliminary Report

          Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is associated with diffuse lung damage. Glucocorticoids may modulate inflammation-mediated lung injury and thereby reduce progression to respiratory failure and death. Methods In this controlled, open-label trial comparing a range of possible treatments in patients who were hospitalized with Covid-19, we randomly assigned patients to receive oral or intravenous dexamethasone (at a dose of 6 mg once daily) for up to 10 days or to receive usual care alone. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Here, we report the preliminary results of this comparison. Results A total of 2104 patients were assigned to receive dexamethasone and 4321 to receive usual care. Overall, 482 patients (22.9%) in the dexamethasone group and 1110 patients (25.7%) in the usual care group died within 28 days after randomization (age-adjusted rate ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.75 to 0.93; P<0.001). The proportional and absolute between-group differences in mortality varied considerably according to the level of respiratory support that the patients were receiving at the time of randomization. In the dexamethasone group, the incidence of death was lower than that in the usual care group among patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (29.3% vs. 41.4%; rate ratio, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.51 to 0.81) and among those receiving oxygen without invasive mechanical ventilation (23.3% vs. 26.2%; rate ratio, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.72 to 0.94) but not among those who were receiving no respiratory support at randomization (17.8% vs. 14.0%; rate ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.91 to 1.55). Conclusions In patients hospitalized with Covid-19, the use of dexamethasone resulted in lower 28-day mortality among those who were receiving either invasive mechanical ventilation or oxygen alone at randomization but not among those receiving no respiratory support.

              Manifestaciones cutáneas en el contexto de la infección por SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

              La pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 ha causado un gran impacto desde el punto de vista sanitario, económico y social. La semiología dermatológica se ha demostrado heterogénea y compleja. En la actualidad se han definido cinco grupos principales de manifestaciones cutáneas asociadas a la COVID19: lesiones acrales, exantemas vesiculares, erupciones urticariales, exantemas maculopapulares y lesiones livedoides/necróticas. Sin embargo, es probable que esta clasificación se modifique en el futuro. La clínica cutánea es probablemente el reflejo de distintas vías patogénicas con implicación variable de la infección vírica, del proceso inflamatorio, de las complicaciones vasculares o sistémicas de la enfermedad o incluso de los tratamientos administrados. El conocimiento de las manifestaciones cutáneas puede permitir un diagnóstico precoz o incluso servir como marcador pronóstico.
