Chronic dacryoadenitis, an inflammation of the lacrimal gland, can be a rare complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This case highlights successful treatment with oral steroids for post-viral inflammation.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Infectious Diseases
- Immunology
Background:
- Dacryoadenitis is lacrimal gland inflammation, often viral, but also bacterial or autoimmune.
- Chronic dacryoadenitis is infrequently associated with SARS-CoV-2, with limited prior reports.
- This study addresses a rare instance of chronic dacryoadenitis post-SARS-CoV-2.

Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-II: Pathophysiology
Chronic Inflammation
COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
