Reduction of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies

by Admin | Jul 29, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Epidemiology

This study corroborates the earlier study by Long et al. in the Chinese population (doi: 10.1038/s41591-020-0965-6), which demonstrated that 40% of asymptomatic patients were seronegative for IgG at 8 weeks. The decline in protective antibody titre is quicker than...

Clinical and Immunological responses of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 patients

by Admin | Jul 1, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Epidemiology, Indications and tests for diagnosis

This study has important public health implications and shows the risk of using COVID-19 ‘immunity passport’. Since immunological responses may vary among different ethnic groups, such temporal seroprevalence surveys in the community are required in different...

Meta-analysis of different antibody tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection

by Admin | Jun 29, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Indications and tests for diagnosis

The correct method of testing for COVID-19 antibodies is important in the current phase of the pandemic when gradual re-opening of the workplace is being contemplated.In India, rapid antibody tests were introduced early in the epidemic and then withdrawn due to...

Characteristics of Household Transmission of COVID-19

by Admin | Jun 22, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Epidemiology

The study delves into COVID-19 household transmission dynamics which can guide home isolation policy in non-severe COVID-19 cases. It suggests minimal risk of COVID-19 transmission among household contacts if early and strict isolation (masking, eating and residence)...

Autopsy evidence of direct renal infection with SARS-CoV-2

by Admin | Jun 16, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Pathology

Although earlier publications have mentioned the presence of viral particles in the urine, this is the first report of autopsy findings in COVID-19 substantiating that the virus directly invades the kidney. As kidney or other organ biopsies are unlikely to be done as...

How long are small speech droplets airborne?

by Admin | Jun 16, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Epidemiology

The study provides evidence, under laboratory conditions, of the number of droplets produced by loud speech and their airborne duration suggesting a plausible role of speech droplets in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in confined spaces. Article: Stadnytskyi V, Bax CE,...

Pulmonary thrombosis in post-mortem findings of COVID-19 – Autopsy Review

by Admin | Jun 13, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Pathology

Autopsies are gold standard to identify the cause of death and study pathophysiology of novel diseases. Though the studies are less as compared to number of deaths worldwide, findings of pulmonary artery thrombosis and thromboembolism in these studies underpin and...

Mortality and pulmonary complications in patients undergoing surgery

by Admin | Jun 13, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Management: Surgical

This study suggests that among patients undergoing major surgery who are positive for SARS-CoV-2 there is a high risk of mortality and morbidity. There is a significant influence of age on postoperative mortality with younger patients (<50 years) having a better...

Surgical outcomes in undiagnosed, COVID-19 infected patients

by Admin | May 29, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Management: Surgical

This study, authored by surgeons from Israel, is a review of 4 articles where elective or semi-elective surgery was performed for COVID-19 cases without testing for SARS-CoV-2. More than 50% severe disease and 27.4% mortality in such patients is of concern. All...

Contact tracing and risk at different exposure periods

by Admin | May 29, 2020 | COVID Literature Appraisal, Epidemiology

The study has major implications for judicious resource use as epidemic nears the peak and health system capacity is stretched. While in Wuhan, every patient with mild illness was isolated in the hospital or other isolation facilities for a prolonged period, this is...
