The fatality rate of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) varies among countries owing to demographics, patient comorbidities, surge capacity healthcare systems, and the quality medical care. We assessed clinical outcomes COVID-19 during first wave epidemic in Korea.
<h3>Background</h3> Uncontrolled diabetes, unlike controlled is associated with an impaired immune response. However, little known about the impact of status diabetes control on clinical features and treatment outcomes in patients pulmonary TB (PTB). We conducted this study to evaluate whether influences manifestations responses PTB. <h3>Methods</h3> A multicentre prospective was performed between September 2012 2014. The were categorised into three groups according glycated haemoglobin...
There is a paucity of data regarding the differentiating characteristics patients with laboratory-confirmed and those negative for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in South Korea. This hospital-based retrospective study compared MERS-CoV-positive MERS-CoV-negative patients. A total seven positive 55 median age 43 years (P = 0.845) were included. No statistical differences observed respect to their sex presence comorbidities. At time admission, headache (28.6% vs. 3.6%;...
Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, first seasonal influenza epidemic was declared in 37th week of 2022 Korea and has continued through winter 2023–2024. However, this finding not been observed United States Europe. The present study aimed to determine whether prolonged from 2023 caused by using a different threshold compared thresholds used Methods: Korea, States, Europe use methods set thresholds. First, we calculated for seasons those three regions. Using these thresholds, then...
Although guidelines recommend vaccination for individuals who have recovered from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection to prevent reinfection, comprehensive evaluation studies are limited. We aimed evaluate vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 reinfection according primary status, booster and methods used.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a that characterized by frequent reinfection. However, the factors influencing reinfection remain poorly elucidated, particularly regarding effect of COVID-19 vaccination on preventing and its effects symptomatology interval until Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus between January 2020 February 2022. included aged >17 years who were reinfected at least 90 days two...
Background: We evaluated vaccine effectiveness (VE) against infections with SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in Seoul, the capital Republic Korea, having highest population density country, under real-world conditions. Methods: reduction mRNA and viral-vector COVID-19 vaccines infection by delta variant a subpopulation from April 2021 to July who visited screening clinics Seoul using test-negative case-control study design. Moreover, we conducted matching ten-year-old age group, sex,...
There is a paucity of data regarding the differentiating characteristics patients who were infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by fomites around world.

To evaluate the efficacy of intervention policies on coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) dissemination.An age-structured compartmental model for COVID-19 outbreak was proposed to predict impact control measures in Seoul/Gyeonggi region. The calibrated based actual data and realistic situations, including daily vaccine doses, proportion delta variant cases, confirmed cases by age. We simulated different scenarios non-pharmaceutical interventions varying social distancing school attendance...
