Unlabelled: Extra-colonic infection is rare. Here we describe a sickle cell disease patient with avascular necrosis who presented with persistent bacteraemia due to and septic arthritis in a native knee joint, which responded very well to medical and surgical treatment but recurred multiple times within weeks of the cessation of antibiotics.
Learning Points: can rarely have a wide variety of extra-colonic manifestations.
Objectives: To calculate the seroprevalence of asymptomatic healthcare workers (HCWs) in our institution.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among asymptomatic HCWs in a large hospital during the peak of the pandemic (from July to August 2020 and followed them up until February 2021) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We collected the data in a Microsoft Word document after collecting a single serum sample for detection of antibodies from each participant then we compared the results statically in Microsoft Excel tables.
