Pragmatic Recommendations for Identification and Triage of Patients with COVID-19 in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

Lia M. Barros et al.

Summary: Efficient identification and prognosis of severe COVID-19 patients is crucial in reducing morbidity and mortality. Low- and middle-income countries often face limitations in healthcare resources, making it necessary to provide appropriate tools for screening and triaging COVID-19 patients. This can include using locally approved questionnaires, standard case definitions, and severity scores for patient disposition. Additionally, diagnostic imaging may be used to improve triage for certain patient populations.

Post-Infectious Guillain-Barre Syndrome Related to SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Systematic Review

Pasquale Sansone et al.

Summary: The incidence of Guillain-Barre syndrome has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, with patients typically presenting with a classic sensorimotor type, often with a demyelinating electrophysiological subtype. Immunomodulating therapy has shown favorable response, but the disease course is severe with a significant portion of patients requiring mechanical ventilation and ICU admission. The clinical presentation, treatment response, and outcome of SARS-CoV-2-related GBS are similar to GBS caused by other triggers.
