La relación entre el virus del dengue y los trastornos plaquetarios emerge como un campo crítico, cuya comprensión integral no solo mejoraría la atención y el manejo de los pacientes con estas comorbilidades, sino que también orientaría el desarrollo de estrategias preventivas y terapéuticas más eficaces. La importancia de colmar las lagunas de conocimiento en torno a la interacción del dengue con trastornos hematológicos no puede ser subestimada.

Cyberchondria has intensified in contexts of infectious outbreaks, such as COVID-19, and may be influenced by local factors such as the endemicity of dengue in certain regions of Peru. Objective: To explore dengue-related cyberchondria among medical students in a dengue-endemic area in northern Peru. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the National University of Piura, using self-reported questionnaires such as the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS-12) and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Students without informed consent or with a recent diagnosis of dengue were excluded. Results: In a total sample of 192 participants, the average cyberchondria severity score was 27.7 ± 7.2. Significant variables included rural origin (p=0.029), being in the middle cycles of the course (p=0.001), and high levels of anxiety (p<0.001) and stress (p=0.030...

Introduction: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a severe fungal infection caused by Aspergillus species. Case report: A 61-year-old male presented to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital in Piura with acute respiratory failure. He was admitted with a diagnosis of complicated pneumonia, with differential diagnoses including pulmonary abscess, pulmonary tuberculosis, and malignancy. However, during his hospital stay, rapid progression on pulmonary imaging combined with a positive galactomannan result in bronchoalveolar lavage led to the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), which responded well to antifungal treatment. Conclusion: Early identification and a multidisciplinary approach are key to improving the management and prognosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.

A 22-year-old male patient who went to the emergency room at Hospital III-1 José Cayetano Heredia in Piura due to acute respiratory symptoms, was hospitalized with Acute Respiratory Failure associated with a moderate Asthma Attack, Community Acquired Pneumonia and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as a history. Throughout the hospital course, a complex interaction between asthma and the pulmonary manifestations of SLE is evident. For this reason, lupus pneumonitis was proposed as a diagnosis, with a good response to antibiotic treatment and pulse corticosteroids.
