Numerous patients around the globe are dying from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While age is a known risk factor, analysis in young generation lacking. The present study aimed to evaluate clinical features and mortality factors younger (≤ 50 years) with critical case of COVID-19 comparison those among older (> Korea.We analyzed data adult only condition (requiring high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy or higher respiratory support) hospitalized PCR-confirmed at 11 hospitals Korea...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused the death of thousands patients worldwide.

This study aimed to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients with native joint septic arthritis (NJSA) due methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) comparison methicillin-sensitive S. (MSSA) identify treatment failure risk factors. We conducted a multi-center retrospective on adult NJSA at three teaching hospitals South Korea from 2005 2017. Among 101 diagnosed NJSA, 39 (38.6%) had MRSA strains. Compared MSSA, higher prevalence of nosocomial infections (17.9% vs....
