COVID-19 Testing: Saliva NAAT Comparable to Nasopharyngeal Swabs
Study authors assessed the diagnostic accuracy of saliva NAAT for COVID-19 due to the increased resources, such as trained personnel, required for nasopharyngeal swab NAAT.
Increasing Age, Immunosuppression Associated With Less Protection By Influenza Vaccine
Study authors evaluated influenza-vaccinated patients hospitalized with an influenza-like illness to identify characteristics associated with being at increased risk for hospitalization with influenza.
Risk for COVID-19 Transmission Greater at Home Compared With Daycare
Study authors estimated the seroprevalence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in daycare centers and compared transmissibility in daycares vs at home.
Evaluating Pulmonary Tuberculosis From Stool Samples Among Pediatric Patients
Study authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess diagnostic accuracy of Xpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)/rifampin(RIF) on stool for pediatric tuberculosis.
BBV152: Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccine Enhances Immune Response, Phase 1 Results
The BBV152 vaccine, produced by Bharat Biotech International, was a whole-virion -propiolactone-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine formulated by Algel-alum or Algel-IMDG adjuvants.
Clover Biopharmaceuticals: Phase 1 COVID-19 Vaccine Results
Investigators provided results from a phase 1 study of SCB-2019, a protein subunit COVID-19 vaccine containing S-Trimer and combined with 2 different adjuvants.
COVID-19 Infection Rates in the US Fall Short of Reaching Herd Immunity
Study authors evaluated the incidence of VTE and major bleeding in critically ill patients with COVID19, and examined the observational effect of early therapeutic anticoagulation on survival.
Uncertainty Remains for Long-Term Outcomes After Recovering from COVID-19
A few small studies conducted early in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic observed radiological and pulmonary diffusion abnormalities among patients who had been discharged from the hospital for 3 months.
Serum Cytokine Concentrations Early in COVID-19 Infection as Biomarker of Disease Severity
Study authors measured serum cytokine levels of COVID-19 patients during the acute phase, and determined if IL-12 and IL-2 would be determinant of more severe disease progression.
