Abstract Background: The World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern (Corona Virus Disease 2019) on January 30th, this study aimed to investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of Corona Virus Disease 2019 in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, and evaluate scientific basis for disease control and prevention. Methods: A total of 30 patients had been admitted to hospital from Jan 22 to Feb 22, 2020, all of them were laboratory confirmed SARS-Cov-2. Demographic, epidemiological, clinical, laboratory data were collected from Hospital information system and Epidemiological investigation reports. All data was performed by descriptive analysis, Chi-square test or non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test, as appropriate. Two sided p value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: 30 patients were enrolled, the median age was 44.5 years (IQR 33.8-52.3) and 17 (56.7%) patients were female, 14 (46.7%) patients were native and had no exposure to Hubei Province. At the time of study submission, only one patient had not been discharged and no patients died during the study. The median hospital stay was 16.0 days (IQR 12.5-20.5) and the median course of disease was 20.5 days (IQR 17.0-23.3). The most common symptoms were fever (66.7%), dry cough (26.7%), and pharyngalgia (23.3%) on first admission. Most patients were generally illness or more mild, but 10 (33.3%) patients received oxygen therapy and 14 (46.7%) patients received hormone therapy during their hospitalization. Almost half of patients showed mild lymphocytopenia and 40% patients had elevated concentrations of CRP in the early stages of COVID-19.Conclusions: Among the 30 patients were confirmed with SARA-Cov-2 infection in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, most of them had clinical presentation of respiratory tract infection, but the median course of disease was more than 2 weeks. Further systematic prospective studies about COVID-19 should be urgently needed.

The outbreak of Corona virus disease (COVID-19) has been recently declared as Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by World Health Organization and the virus has now spread beyond the boundaries of countries and continents. At present, no specific antiviral treatment or vaccine is available or recommended to counter the COVID-19, and the potential therapy is still symptomatic. The outbreak of the Corona virus was begun in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The most common symptoms are fever, tiredness and dry cough. Some individuals also develop aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, or diarrhea. It was reported that traditional remedies may alleviate the symptoms of COVID19. Ayurveda is the world’s oldest medical system that can manage any disease without side effects. Ayurveda is equipped with varieties of treatment modalities to handle with any type of deadly diseases. However, a major drawback is a lack of adequate scientific basis. In recent time, a branch of modern medical science has developed and is known as Psycho- Neuro -Immunology. It deals with the phenomenon of how our thoughts and emotions can affect our immune system. Stress, fear and negative emotions are known to weaken our immune system while Yoga (including meditation), mindfulness, positive emotions, and relaxa-tion strengthen it. Yoga plays an important role to strengthen our immune system.

Objectives: To identify association of epidemiological characteristics, presence of underlying pre-morbidities and disease severity with time to first negative PCR in Corona virus disease 2019. Methods: Total 842 Corona Virus Real Time Polymerase-Chain-Reaction positive patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Patients were admitted to Department of Medicine at KRL Hospital Islamabad from April to August 2020. Age, gender, symptoms, pre-morbidities and disease severity were recorded. Outcome (recovered versus died) was documented. World Health Organization categories to classify disease severity (asymptomatic, mild, moderate and severe) were used. Time to negative PCR was documented as time between first positive PCR to first negative PCR. Results: The mean age of patients was 39.04 ± 11.32 years with 99.8% being males. Majority of patients (78.4%) were asymptomatic. Amongst symptoms, fever was the most common symptom. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension were the most commonly recorded co-morbidity. Mean time to negative PCR was 8.8 ± 3.1 days. A large proportion of patients recovered (99.9%). Significant positive correlation (p value < 0.05) was found between age, gender, presence of underlying pre-morbidities and disease severity categories with time to first negative PCR. Conclusion: The underlying epidemiological factors, pre-morbidities and disease severity are associated with time to negative PCR and hence affect frequency of recovery samples. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.1.4476 How to cite this:Toori KU, Chaudhry A, Qureshi MA.

AbstractIntroductionSevere Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread mainly through respiratory droplets and contact routes. Long term use of spectacles may prevent repeated touching and rubbing of the eyes. Aim of the study is to find out the protective effectiveness of the spectacles against COVID-19, if present.ObjectivesTo know the association between infection with SARSCoV-2 and wearing of spectacles.Materials and methodsIn this study, 304 patients of Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were selected. Their spectacles wearing behaviour were assessed through a questionnaire. Spectacles wearing behaviour of general population were obtained from older studies (for comparison). Data was put in the tabulate form and Chi- Square test was used for statistical analysis.ResultsIn this study, among the 304 total patients, 58 patients showed the behavior of using spectacles continuously during day time and always on outdoor activities. While the spectacles wearing behaviour is about 40% among general Indian population. The protective effectiveness of the spectacles was found statistically significant (p-value. 00113).ConclusionThe present study showed that the occurrence of Covid-19 was less in spectacles wearing population than the population not wearing those. The nasolacrimal duct may be a route of virus transmission from conjunctival sac to the nasopharynx.

Abstract Background There is mounting evidence on the existence of a Pediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome-temporally associated to SARS-CoV-2 infection (PIMS-TS), sharing similarities with Kawasaki Disease (KD). The main outcome of the study were to better characterize the clinical features and the treatment response of PIMS-TS and to explore its relationship with KD determining whether KD and PIMS are two distinct entities. Methods The Rheumatology Study Group of the Italian Pediatric Society launched a survey to enroll patients diagnosed with KD (Kawasaki Disease Group – KDG) or KD-like (Kawacovid Group - KCG) disease between February 1st 2020, and May 31st 2020. Demographic, clinical, laboratory data, treatment information, and patients’ outcome were collected in an online anonymized database (RedCAP®). Relationship between clinical presentation and SARS-CoV-2 infection was also taken into account. Moreover, clinical characteristics of KDG during SARS-CoV-2 epidemic (KDG-CoV2) were compared to Kawasaki Disease patients (KDG-Historical) seen in three different Italian tertiary pediatric hospitals (Institute for Maternal and Child Health, IRCCS “Burlo Garofolo”, Trieste; AOU Meyer, Florence; IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genoa) from January 1st 2000 to December 31st 2019. Chi square test or exact Fisher test and non-parametric Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney test were used to study differences between two groups. Results One-hundred-forty-nine cases were enrolled, (96 KDG and 53 KCG). KCG children were significantly older and presented more frequently from gastrointestinal and respiratory involvement. Cardiac involvement was more common in KCG, with 60,4% of patients with myocarditis. 37,8% of patients among KCG presented hypotension/non-cardiogenic shock. Coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) were more common in the KDG. The risk of ICU admission were higher in KCG. Lymphopenia, higher CRP levels, elevated ferritin and troponin-T characterized KCG. KDG received more frequently immunoglobulins (IVIG) and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (81,3% vs 66%; p = 0.04 and 71,9% vs 43,4%; p = 0.001 respectively) as KCG more often received glucocorticoids (56,6% vs 14,6%; p < 0.0001). SARS-CoV-2 assay more often resulted positive in KCG than in KDG (75,5% vs 20%; p < 0.0001). Short-term follow data showed minor complications. Comparing KDG with a KD-Historical Italian cohort (598 patients), no statistical difference was found in terms of clinical manifestations and laboratory data. Conclusion Our study suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection might determine two distinct inflammatory diseases in children: KD and PIMS-TS. Older age at onset and clinical peculiarities like the occurrence of myocarditis characterize this multi-inflammatory syndrome. Our patients had an optimal response to treatments and a good outcome, with few complications and no deaths.
