(1) Background. Post-COVID-19 syndrome is defined as the persistence of symptoms after confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. (2) Methods. ANOSVID an observational retrospective study in Nord Franche-Comté Hospital France that included adult COVID-19 patients by RT-PCR from 1 March 2020 to 31 May 2020. The aim was describe with post-COVID-19 persistent (PS group) and compare them without (no-PS group). (3) Results. Of 354 patients, 35.9% (n = 127) reported at least one symptom a mean 289.1 ± 24.5...
Abstract Background Describing transmission dynamics of the outbreak and impact intervention measures are critical to planning responses future outbreaks providing timely information guide policy makers decision. We estimate serial interval (SI) temporal reproduction number (R t ) SARS-CoV-2 in Tunisia. Methods collected data investigations contact tracing between March 1, 2020 May 5, as well illness onset during period February 29–May from National Observatory New Emerging Diseases Maximum...
Abstract Background The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) continues to constitute an international public health concern. Few data are available on the duration and prognostic factors disease. We aimed study recovery time among a Tunisian cohort COVID-19 confirmed patients identify factors. Methods A retrospective, nationwide was conducted from March 2 May 8, 2020, recruiting all who were diagnosed with COVID-19, by RT-PCR methods, in Tunisia. Data collected via phone call...
Olfactory disorders (OD) pathogenesis, underlying conditions, and prognostic in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remain partially described. ANOSVID is a retrospective study Nord Franche-Comté Hospital (France) that included COVID-19 patients from March 1 2020 to May 31 2020. The aim was compare with OD (OD group) without (no-OD group). A second analysis compared anosmia (high hyposmia or no (low no-OD group presented less cardiovascular other respiratory diseases the (odds ratio [OR] =...
Background. Long-term evolution data of olfactory disorders (OD) in COVID-19 are limited. Method. ANOSVID is a retrospective study Nord Franche-Comté Hospital (France) that included patients from the first wave. The aim was to describe OD evolution, especially with persistent (p-OD group) comparison resolved (r-OD group). Results. Among 354 patients, 229 reported were included. Eighty-five percent (n = 195) recovered their within 90 days. However, 9.5 months (in average) after symptoms...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly across the world. Tunisia reacted early to COVID-19, resulting in a low number of infections during first wave pandemic. This study was performed model effects different interventions on evolution cases and compare these with Tunisian experience.
Background Since the emerging of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in late and World Health Organization (WHO) declaring it as a pandemic, race to develop vaccine against COVID-19 has started worldwide therefore huge efforts resources have been put into achieving it. This review summarizes vaccines phase III IV. Methods A scientific literature was conducted using medical subject heading (MeSH) word “COVID-19 vaccines” on PubMed words “COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2” “vaccine” ClinicalTrials.gov...

•Nine months after COVID-19 GD, hypogeusia is present in 30% of cases.•However, ageusia scarce.•Patients with GD persistence have more frequently recurrences than continuous GD.•A long duration and cacosmia could be predictive factors persistence. Olfactory and/or gustatory dysfunctions (OGD) are specific symptoms (Salmon Ceron et al., 2020Salmon D Bartier S Hautefort C Nguyen Y Nevoux J Hamel A-L al.Self-reported loss smell without nasal obstruction to identify COVID-19.
