Follow-up of Patients With Previous SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Long-term Damage Assessment
COVID-19People affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether they have developed mild forms or a severe form of the disease, complain of nonspecific and entirely new symptoms or complain about the persistence pf them.We intend to follow over time the post-infectious phase of patients discharged from sub-intensive care unit. The aim is to identify symptoms and their frequency of presentation in the SARS-CoV-2 population in the post-acute period.
COVID-19 Transmission and Morbidity in Malawi
SARS CoV 2 InfectionSARS CoV 2 VaccinationSARS-CoV-2 transmission was expected to have a devastating impact in sub-Saharan African countries. Instead, morbidity and mortality rates in nearly the whole region are an order of magnitude lower than in Europe and the Americas. To identify what is different requires a better understanding of the underlying immunological substrate of the population, and how these factors affect susceptibility to infection, progression of symptoms, transmission, and responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Study objectives Determine the risk and predictors of infection and disease among contacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection subjects in Malawi Determine whether innate immune responses lower the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease, and acquisition and duration of vaccine responses. Assess whether alterations in innate immune responses relevant to SARS-CoV-2 are associated with malaria or intestinal parasite infections. Assess the acquisition and longevity of antibodies (Ab) and cellular adaptive responses elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. Assess whether malaria and intestinal parasite infections, chronic/mild undernutrition, and anemia mediate alterations in Ab and other adaptive cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 through innate immune responses or a different unknown mechanism.
COVID-19 Associated With Psoriasis
Psoriasis PatientsCOVID-19A retrospective analysis based on database was conducted to evaluate the correlation between covid-19 infection and the condition and treatment of psoriasis patients.
Cognitive Impairment and Fatigue After Mild to Moderate COVID-19
Post COVID-19 ConditionCognitive Impairment2 moreThe primary aim of the project is to map fatigue, cognitive and visual dysfunctions and possible underlying pathophysiological mechanisms in persons with long-term symptoms after a mild to moderate COVID-19 infection. Secondary goals are to study whether covarying factors such as depression and sleep disorders contribute to the results.
Bioaerosol Sampling Device (BSD) Clinical Study
COVID-19The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the bioaerosol sampling device (BSD) and how it can sample patient bioaerosols (breath) and patient's nares for the detection of COVID-19 viral particles in patients seeking to be tested for COVID-19.
Long-term Follow-up Study of COVID-19
COVID-19The goal of this observational study is to learn the long-term prognosis of patients and the clinical characteristics of complications, which is of great significance for treatment of novel coronavirus infection pneumonia. This trial plans to include 5700 inpatients with positive SARS CoV-2 nucleic acid test results. This trial does not involve the use of specific drug. Participants's health and psychological status will be observed at the preset time points. The blood, feces, urine samples of patients will be collected for relevant tests.
Incidence, Associated Factors, and Burden of Post COVID-19 Condition in Brazil
Post-Acute COVID-19 SyndromeThis is a national retrospective cohort study with internet-based recruitment which intends to enroll 1,694 adult patients with COVID-19 diagnosis during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron wave in Brazil. Participants with confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 after january 2022 will be evaluated in order to assess incidence, potential risk factors and impact of post COVID-19 condition according to the WHO definition on health-related quality of life and other relevant patient-centered outcomes.
Long-term Respiratory Complications in Infants With Perinatal COVID-19
COVID-19Infant3 moreStudy outcomes and endpoints: Primary outcome: to assess clinical characteristics of infants with confirmed COVID-19 infection at birth and to evaluate long-term respiratory consequences of neonatal COVID-19 infection. Secondary outcome: to evaluate the prevalence and natural history of lung function impairment among infants with confirmed COVID-19 compared to infants with no history of COVID-19. To this end, infants will undergo pulmonary function testing (PFT) with the Exhalyzer D device (Eco Medics, Switzerland).
Multiparametric Assessment of Peripheral Blood and Tissue Myeloid Cells. Phenotype for Precision...
COVID-19 PneumoniaWe hypothesise that patients with SARS-Cov-2 infection are characterized by progressive changes in distribution of distinct lung macrophages populations mediated by influx of circulating monocytes into the lungs . Moreover, we also hypothesise that patients with higher rate of MerTKpos alveolar macrophages in the lung lavage will have the lowest rate of lung complications and the best recovery outcome in terms of clinical outcome and need of assisted ventilation supporting the use of macrophage phenotyping as novel prognostic biomarker in patients with SARS-Cov-2 infection. Finally, the definition of the transcriptomic signature of peripheral blood and tissue-derived myeloid cell subtypes will offer new therapeutic target of this uncurable newly discovered infection.
Viral Load Analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus in Nose Versus Mouth Sites
Sars-CoV-2 InfectionIt is a single-center, non-profit experimental study, intended to evaluate the viral load of SARS COV 2 in nasal and oral samples of positive subjects to evaluate any variation and understand which is the most suitable site for carrying out the swab.
