Ethics and consent to participate
The author is a practicing member of the Egyptian syndicate of
physicians since 2006. Every ethical command has been followed in all
procedures mentioned in this manuscript.
Consents, verbal and later confirmed by written conversations through
the mentioned social media applications, were obtained from each
case/legal guardian involved in this study who have also authorized the
release of their laboratory/radiological results.
The author was working during most of this study in KSA and the preprint
was published while he was working there. I have returned to Egypt after
gratefully resigning from my Saudi University to return to my home
country and patients on the 22nd of September 2020.
Basing on an early knowledge represented later in published
peer-reviewed articles; a moral obligation and oath to serve and help
led to an immediate reply and thus getting consents from the mentioned
Egyptian patients; most of them were residing in Egypt and the expat
ones were either isolated or dwelled away from my province, was the only
available method to conduct the current study.
