This document presents an experts' consensus statement on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection in children. It summarizes the current strategies based on previous diagnosis and treatment of pediatric virus infections. The key points are: 1) 2019-nCoV infections in children can range from asymptomatic to mild or severe pneumonia, with most cases being mild; 2) Diagnosis is based on epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, and laboratory tests detecting 2019-nCoV nucleic acid; 3) Treatment involves supportive care, symptom relief, oxygen therapy, and antiviral drugs like interferon-α; 4) Prevention focuses on isolation of suspected cases and treatment of confirmed cases.
COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It causes symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath that appear 2-14 days after exposure. The virus spreads mainly through respiratory droplets from infected individuals coughing and sneezing, and possibly through touching contaminated surfaces. To prevent infection, one should wash hands frequently, avoid touching the face, disinfect surfaces, maintain distance from those coughing/sneezing, and cough/sneeze into the elbow. Droplets from coughs or sneezes can transfer from surfaces to hands and then to the face, causing infection if introduced to mucous membranes.

3) The outbreak will likely be completely died out by the first week of April 2020, according to the model.
Growing evidence suggests that asymptomatic cases could account for 20-50% of total COVID-19 cases and 10-60% of virus transmission. While the risk of catching the virus from completely asymptomatic individuals is low, many people experience only mild symptoms in the early stages of disease and can still spread the virus. This underscores the need for continued strict social distancing even as testing capabilities expand to better track asymptomatic cases and their role in transmission.
This document provides an overview of COVID-19 including its timeline, transmission, presentation, epidemiology, prevention, and containment plan. It discusses that COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. It outlines the timeline of the outbreak beginning in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. It also discusses transmission modes, signs and symptoms, disease progression, prevention strategies like isolation, quarantine, hand hygiene, and use of personal protective equipment.

At the Epicenter of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Humanitarian Crises in ItalyValentina Corona
The article describes the overwhelmed state of healthcare in Bergamo, Italy due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Clinicians at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo call for a shift from patient-centered to community-centered care. Over 70% of ICU beds are occupied by Covid-19 patients, and hospitals are operating below normal standards of care. The situation requires expertise in public health, epidemiology, logistics and more. Solutions are needed for the entire population, not just hospitals, including home care, mobile clinics, and social distancing to slow the spread. The catastrophe in wealthy Lombardy could happen anywhere without long-term pandemic preparation and mitigation plans.

Italy was hit hard by COVID-19, with high death rates partly due to its aging population and high rates of smoking and chronic diseases. The country's healthcare system was overwhelmed, with limited ICU beds and few reserves. Hospitals struggled with many mildly symptomatic patients being admitted early on, leaving fewer resources for severe cases. Medical personnel were also at high risk of infection due to overcrowding and early exposure before proper recognition of the virus. Other countries can learn from Italy's experience by avoiding bringing suspected but non-severe cases to hospitals, maintaining strict hygiene, and acting swiftly to contain exposures among medical staff.

Clinical chacateristics of novel coronavirua in newborns, infants, and childrengisa_legal
This document summarizes the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 in newborns, infants, and children based on reported cases. It finds that pediatric cases are mainly family cluster cases and clinical manifestations in children are generally milder than adults. While rare, severe infections can occur in children as can transmission from mother to child, though likely not intrauterine. Most infected children recover within 1-2 weeks and it is very uncommon for the infection to progress to lower respiratory tract disease in children.
Growing evidence suggests that asymptomatic cases could account for 20-50% of total COVID-19 cases and 10-60% of virus transmission. While the risk of catching the virus from completely asymptomatic individuals is low, many people experience only mild symptoms in the early stages of disease and can still spread the virus.

It finds that pediatric cases are mainly family cluster cases and clinical manifestations in children are generally milder than adults. While rare, severe infections can occur in children as can transmission from mother to child, though likely not intrauterine. Most infected children recover within 1-2 weeks and it is very uncommon for the infection to progress to lower respiratory tract disease in children.
This presentation showed the impact and the challenges of facing COVID-19 Pandemic and how the world becomes morbid, while the healthcare workforce tries to flatten the "curve".
The editorial discusses the Covid-19 outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus. It summarizes a study describing the first 425 cases in Wuhan, China, noting the median age was 59 and higher mortality in the elderly and those with preexisting conditions. While the current fatality rate is around 2%, it may ultimately be closer to seasonal flu if asymptomatic cases are accounted for. The virus has an estimated reproduction number of 2.2, indicating rapid spread. Countries have implemented travel restrictions and should prepare for broader community spread, potentially using social distancing and isolation measures. Research efforts are underway to develop treatments and a vaccine.
The document provides guidelines for COVID-19 surveillance and response in Punjab, Pakistan. It outlines case definitions, epidemiology of COVID-19, alert thresholds, and surveillance protocols. It describes laboratory diagnosis, contact tracing, and the roles and responsibilities of the Provincial Disease Surveillance and Response Unit. Guidelines are provided for clinical management, laboratory sample collection and transport, and infection prevention and control.
The document discusses coronavirus disease (COVID-19) including its definition, transmission, clinical presentation, course, and diagnostic testing recommendations. It defines healthcare personnel and notes COVID-19 is a new coronavirus strain discovered in 2019 that is zoonotic, mainly spread through respiratory droplets. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Older patients and those with chronic conditions are at higher risk. Diagnostic testing is recommended for suspected cases using molecular tests on respiratory specimens.
The document discusses COVID-19 in children. It notes that fewer cases have been reported in children than adults, with children representing about 14% of total cases. As of May 2021, over 3.9 million children in the US had tested positive. Most cases in children are mild and treatment consists of supportive care. The virus is transmitted through respiratory droplets and contact or surfaces. Family clustering appears to play a role in transmission between children. Symptoms in children tend to be mild and include cough, fever, and pharyngeal erythema.
This document provides an epidemiological update on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as of February 14, 2020. It summarizes the global and regional situation, including 49,070 confirmed cases worldwide with the majority in China, and 22 confirmed cases across the United States and Canada in the Region of the Americas. It assessed the overall regional risk as high and provides guidance and recommendations for national authorities, including strengthening surveillance, laboratory testing, and infection prevention and control measures.
The document discusses the COVID-19 pandemic, including the origins and spread of SARS-CoV-2. It describes key events like the virus being first identified in Wuhan, China in late 2019, the WHO declaring a public health emergency in January 2020, and the virus spreading widely in the United States between late January and February 2020. It also discusses recommendations from the CDC on preventive measures like social distancing and mask-wearing during surges. Finally, it lists common comorbidities and risk factors like older age, obesity, and heart or lung conditions that are associated with more severe COVID-19 outcomes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
