As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is ongoing, number of individuals to be tested for COVID-19 rapidly increasing.For safe and efficient screening COVID-19, drive-through (DT) centers have been designed implemented in Korea.Herein, we present overall concept, advantages, limitations DT centers.The steps include registration, examination, specimen collection, instructions.The entire service takes about 10 minutes one testee without leaving his or her cars.Increased testing...
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to progress, awareness about its long-term impacts has been growing. To date, studies on course of symptoms, factors associated with persistent and quality life after 12 months since recovery from acute COVID-19 have limited.A prospective online survey (First: September 8, 2020-September 10, 2020; Second: May 26, 2021-June 1, 2021) was conducted recovered patients who were previously diagnosed between February 13, 2020 March at...
BackgroundVaccination has helped to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Ten traditional and novel vaccines have been listed by World Health Organization for emergency use. Additional alternative approaches may better address ongoing vaccination globally, where there remains an inequity in vaccine distribution. GBP510 is a recombinant protein vaccine, which consists of self-assembling, two-component nanoparticles, displaying receptor-binding domain (RBD) highly immunogenic array.MethodsThis...
To investigate antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter spp. from two Korean hospitals.Two hundred and sixty-five hospitals were collected identified to species level using partial rpoB gene sequences. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed a broth microdilution method.rpoB sequences indicated that 214 (80.8%) baumannii, allowed these be classified into three subgroups (I, II III); 142 (53.6%) belonged subgroup I, 54 (20.4%) 18 (6.8%) III. Forty-eight...
To investigate the impact of imipenem resistance on mortality rate among patients with Acinetobacter bacteraemia.A retrospective, pairwise-matched (1:1), risk-adjusted (age, Pitt bacteraemia score) cohort study was performed at three tertiary care hospitals in Korea from January 2000 to June 2005.Forty non-susceptible (INAB group) and 40 matched subjects (1:1 ratio) imipenem-susceptible (ISAB were included. Both groups had similar clinical features related severity illness. The 30 day higher...
This study compares the effectiveness of Pitt bacteremia score, Charlson weighted index comorbidity, and Acute Physiology Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring systems for prediction mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with sepsis using retrospective observational method on 134 ICU-acquired sepsis. The statistical analyses show several important findings. First, score is significantly correlated APACHE system (correlation coefficient = 0.738, P < 0.001). Second,...
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic that had affected more than eight million people worldwide by June 2020. Given the importance of presence diabetes mellitus (DM) for host immunity, we retrospectively evaluated clinical characteristics and outcomes moderate-to-severe COVID-19 in patients with diabetes. Methods We conducted multi-center observational study 1,082 adult inpatients (aged ≥18 years) who were admitted to one five university hospitals Daegu because...
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne viral disease. The SFTS virus (SFTSV) has been detected in the Haemaphysalis longicornis, which acts as transmission host between animals and humans. SFTSV was first confirmed China 2009 also circulating Japan South Korea. However, it not known if genetic connection exists viruses these regions and, so, how transmitted across China, Korea, Japan. We therefore hypothesize that Korea share common phylogenetic origins samples...
The outcome of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with organ damage; however, the information about relationship between acute kidney injury (AKI) and COVID-19 still rare. We evaluated clinical features prognosis patients AKI according to severity. Medical data hospitalized in two university-based hospitals during an outbreak Daegu, South Korea, were retrospectively analyzed. its severity defined Acute Kidney Injury Network. Of 164 COVID-19, 30 (18.3%) had AKI; 14, 4, 12 stage...
Globally, concerns have grown regarding the long-term effects of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection. Therefore, we evaluated course persistent symptoms and patient quality life.This prospective cohort study was conducted at a single tertiary university hospital from August 31, 2020 to March 29, 2021 with adult patients followed 6 12 months after acute COVID-19 symptom onset or diagnosis. Clinical characteristics, self-reported symptoms, EuroQol 5 dimension level (EQ5D-5L) index...
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has progressed, there been a growing awareness of long-term impacts COVID-19 infection. However, until recently, was no published study that investigated COVID-19-related sequelae and related factors for greater than six months from onset symptoms or time diagnosis in Korea.Online survey statistical analysis were conducted by Kyungpook National University Hospital on 5,252 patients diagnosed as between February 18, 2020 March 14, 2020....
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing, heavy workload of healthcare workers (HCWs) a concern. This study investigated HCWs responding to COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea.A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 16 October 15, 2020, involving facilities (4 public medical centers, 12 tertiary-care hospitals) that provide treatment for patients.Public centers provided majority (69.4%) total hospital beds patients (n = 611), on other hand,...
This study aimed to identify the species of Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) isolates and compare genotype, antibiotic resistance, virulence among them. A total 183 ECC were collected from patients in eight hospitals South Korea. Based on partial sequences hsp60 phylogenetic analysis, all identified as nine six subspecies. hormaechei was predominant (47.0%), followed by kobei, asburiae, ludiwigii, roggenkampii. Multilocus sequence typing analysis revealed that dissemination not limited a...
Abstract Burnout is a form of negative emotional and physical response to job stress. This study aimed investigate the prevalence burnout among healthcare workers responding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Korea explore correlates workers. A nationwide questionnaire-based survey was conducted from December 1, 2020, January 29, 2021 on 1425 who worked one 16 facilities designated for COVID-19 care, public health centers, or as paramedics Korea. assessed using Korean-adapted...
To investigate the antimicrobial resistance, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and clones of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates causing bacteraemia or urinary tract infection (UTI) in Korea, a total 406 K. from patients with (221 isolates) UTI (185 were collected 10 tertiary-care Korean hospitals July 2006 to October 2007. In vitro susceptibility testing was performed for all ESBL production tested. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analyses characterize genotypes ESBL-producing...
