- COVID-19 poses a significant global threat, and serological surveys are essential to accurately measure how many individuals have developed antibodies to the virus, revealing the true infection rates in populations.
- A study conducted between July and October 2020 in Saudi Arabia tested 15,873 serum samples to determine the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2, finding an overall rate of 17%, with the Makkah region having the highest rate at 33.3%.
- The study identified several factors influencing seropositivity, including age, education, and region, while underscoring the need for mass vaccination efforts as most people lacked SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies, indicating low herd immunity.*
Background: The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection had been investigated utilizing serology.
Materials And Methods: This community-based sero-survey was carried out in the neighborhoods of three cities in Saudi Arabia.
Results: Of 5629 participants, 2766 (49.
A 45-year-old white woman established on risankizumab self-presented to our service with pustular psoriasis affecting 60% of her body surface area. No history of pustular psoriasis was described in the 22 years that she had been diagnosed with psoriasis. This, to our knowledge, is the first case of paradoxical pustular psoriasis associated with risankizumab.
