[Clinical, functional and tomographic respiratory sequels of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 at one year of diagnosis: SECUELAR-19 TRIAL].

Introduction: There is scarce information on longterm evolution of hospitalized patients with moderate (MP) and severe (SP) COVID-19 pneumonia.

Objective: to determine clinical, respiratory function, and tomographic (HRCT) impact after being discharged 12 months after diagnosis.

Methods: Analysis according to MP and SP, desaturator patients (DP) in 6-minute walking test (6MWT) and HRCT fibrotic-like pattern (FLP).

Initial clinical management of symptomatic adult patients during influenza A (H1N1) epidemics.

Background: Pandemic influenza A (H1N1) has emerged rapidly in Argentina since May 2009. Preliminary comparisons with seasonal influenza suggest that H1N1 disproportionately affects younger patients, generally causing mild disease, but in a minority of cases can be lethal.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a clinical tool for the initial management of patients with influenza-like syndrome, within the context of the novel H1N1 virus epidemic, to detect patients who need further investigation (e.
