| 1 | Delayed inflammatory pulmonary syndrome: A distinct clinical entity in the spectrum of inflammatory syndromes in COVID-19 infection?显示文摘BACKGROUND During the second wave of the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,a subset of critically ill patients developed delayed respiratory deterioration in the absence of new infection,fluid overload or extra-pulmonary organ dysfunction.AIM To describe the clinical and laboratory characteristics,outcomes,and management of these patients,and to contrast this entity with other post COVID-19 immune dysregulation related inflammatory disorders.METHODS This was a retrospective observational study of adult patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit of a 2200-bed university affiliated teaching hospital,between May and August 2021,who fulfilled clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.Outcome was assessed by a change in PaO_(2)/FiO_(2) ratio and levels of inflammatory markers before and after immunomodulation,duration of mechanical ventilation after starting treatment,and survival to discharge.RESULTS Five patients developed delayed respiratory deterioration in the absence of new infection,fluid overload or extrapulmonary organ dysfunction at a median interquartile range(IQR)duration of 32(23-35)d after the onset of symptoms.These patients had elevated inflammatory markers,required mechanical ventilation for 13(IQR 10-23)d,and responded to glucocorticoids and/or intravenous immunoglobulin.One patient died(20%).CONCLUSION This delayed respiratory worsening with elevated inflammatory markers and clinical response to immunomodulation appears to contrast the well described Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome–Adults by the paucity of extrapulmonary organ involvement.The diagnosis can be considered in patients presenting with delayed respiratory worsening,that is not attributable to cardiac dysfunction,fluid overload or ongoing infections,and associated with an increase in systemic inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein,inteleukin-6 and ferritin.A good response to immunomodulation can be expected.This delayed inflammatory pulmonary syndrome may represent a distinct clinical entity in the spectrum of inflammatory syndromes in COVID-19 infection. | Prithviraj Bose Binila Chacko Ashwin Oliver Arul Leena Robinson Vimala Balamugesh Thangakunam George M Varghese Mohan Jambugulam Audrin Lenin John Victor Peter | 2023 | World Journal of Critical Care Medicine2023，12，4： | 0 |
