OBJECTIVE Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), which causes disease 2019 (COVID‐19), manifests a wide spectrum of presentations. Most reports COVID‐19 highlight fever and upper symptoms as the dominant initial presentations, consistent World Health Organization guidelines regarding suspected SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. However, atypical presentations this have been evolving since outbreak pandemic in December 2019. We report case an older male patient who...
Coronavirus disease-2019 is currently causing a world pandemic. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) reported its first case on March 2, 2020. Due to potential rapid dissemination within the public and large probability countrywide outbreak, along with country's experience in battling another similar coronavirus (the Middle East respiratory syndrome–coronavirus), KSA was among leading bodies for swift community action hospital preparedness.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is home to two the circulating beta coronaviruses, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2 causative agent COVID-19 pandemic.MERS-CoV was first discovered in KSA September 2012 [1] has subsequently spread 27 coun-tries.Of global total reported 2949 laboratory-confirmed cases through June 1, 2020, 74% (2167) including 842 deaths were by [2,3].SARS-Cov-2, China December 2019 [4], received pandemic status on March 11, 2020 [5],...
ObjectiveTo describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in a middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) referral hospital during peak months pandemic.DesignA single-center case series individuals with confirmed severe acute 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC), an academic tertiary care Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Clinical biochemical markers were documented. Risks for ventilatory support, intensive...
Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae have been isolated from human patients in many countries across the globe but rarely Saudi Arabia. Here we provide genomic characterization of first KPC-producing K. urine a patient Riyadh, Arabia, who had recent travel history to Egypt involving medical procedure. Presence KPC-encoding gene initially detected with Xpert Carba-R assay was confirmed by traditional PCR. Susceptibility testing using VITEK 2 system, E-test...
ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness and safety of aerosolized (AER) plus intravenous (IV) colistin with IV alone in patients nosocomial pneumonia (NP) due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study adults NP who received or combination AER colistin. The primary endpoint clinical cure at end therapy. Secondary endpoints included microbiological eradication, in-hospital mortality nephrotoxicity.ResultsIn total, 135 were this study: 65 70...
Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection continue to represent a global health concern influenced by various social, economic, and cultural factors.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is a organized autoimmune disease presented with vascular thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity. The Sapporo classification criteria of APS were revised in 2006 are used as the main diagnosis guideline, which validity standard measurements still debate. This study observe clinical laboratory indices among Saudi patients. retrospective hospital-based population. Laboratory manifestations diagnosed patients from electronical medical records identifies by ICD-9 code...
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) pose a significant public health concern. CRE could be carbapenamse producers or non-producers. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with a significant burden of disease, including medical and non-medical costs. Therefore, it considered to be priority for all health authorities. aim this study determine healthcare treatment costs caring PLHIV at one the tertiary care university hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This was micro-costing, retrospective, observational from hospital included confirmed HIV-infected patients who visited infectious disease clinics period 1...
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systematic autoimmune disease featured with vascular thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity, which likely to be under-diagnosed in the clinical practice. The Sapporo classification criteria of APS was revised 2006 are used as main diagnosis guideline, validity standard measurements still debate. Few studies had been tackled laboratory manifestations among Saudi Arabic population relation criteria.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause mild-to-moderate common cold disease.[1] However, since the first emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002, coronaviruses got scientists' attention worldwide.[2] Ten years later, another novel human coronavirus infection, named Middle East (MERS-CoV), was reported from Saudi Arabia September 2012.[3] MERS-CoV disease has been linked to an epidemic outbreak not only but also more than 27 countries East, Africa, and South...
