Background: In locations where few people have received coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, health systems remain vulnerable to surges in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Tools to identify patients suitable for community-based management are urgently needed.
Methods: We prospectively recruited adults presenting to 2 hospitals in India with moderate symptoms of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 to develop and validate a clinical prediction model to rule out progression to supplemental oxygen requirement.
Article Synopsis
- The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is highly infectious and declared a global public health emergency, primarily spreading through respiratory droplets, yet other transmission paths remain less studied.
- A study aimed to examine the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the female genital tract to assess risks related to sexual and mother-to-child transmission.
- Thirty-five COVID-19-positive female patients were tested for the virus in their vaginal and cervical secretions using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to understand potential sexual transmission.
