Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – Coronavirus – 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its related Coronavirus Disease – 19 (COVID-19) has become a health emergency worldwide. The medical community has been concerned since the beginning of the outbreak about the potential impact of COVID-19 in children, especially in those with underlying chronic diseases. Fortunately, COVID-19 has been reported to be less severe in children than in adults. However, epidemiologic and clinical data are scarce.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to report our experience in the management of hematospermia observed in 16 patients suffering from xanthogranulomatous prostatitis. Methods: Recurrent episodes of hematospermia were the onset symptom in all patients, and in 25% of patients it was combined with fever. All patients reported PSA value elevation and the digital rectal examination (DRE) revealed an increase of the gland size and of its consistency in all cases.

Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute inflammatory vasculitis of unknown origin.
Case presentation: We report the case of a 5-month-old child with an atypical form of KD, characterized by
undulating symptoms, who developed an aneurysm of the right coronary artery and an ectasia of the left anterior
descending coronary artery.
Conclusion: This case report underlines the difficulties in recognizing incomplete forms of the illness in young
infants, who are at higher risk of cardiac complications.
