“…Regarding ART, it is clear that 87.7% of PLWHAs used it regularly, which may represent a protective mechanism for the development of more severe symptoms (21,43) of COVID-19, contributing to a faster clinical improvement than that of the general population (6,10) and with a better prognosis (23) ; however, considering that there is no consensus, these findings need further investigation. Furthermore, it was identified that 62 (58.5%) patients were using an antiretroviral regimen containing tenofovir -a finding also present in a cohort study (25) .…”

Clinical progression of COVID-19 coinfection in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus: scoping review

et al. 2022

Objectives: to map the production of scientific knowledge on the clinical progression of COVID-19 coinfection in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods: scoping review, with search strategies in MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and LILACS. Dual independent data extraction and analysis of the material with similarity compilation and narrative synthesis. Results: sample consisted of 35 articles. Fever, cough, and dyspnea were the most prevalent signs/symptoms. Recurrent complications involved desaturation/worsening of oxygen desaturation and pneumonia. No standard pharmacological treatment was identified, and the main interventions involved the provision of supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation. The studies recommended preventive, care, and pharmacological practices. Conclusions: the clinical manifestations, complications, and treatments/assistance care for people coinfected with SARS CoV-2/HIV are similar to those of the general population. Coinfection, overall, does not infer a worse prognosis.

“…There were a few articles about general COVID-19 pathology [284][285][286][287], which included combinations of topics from the above sub-categories. Another few were about co-infection with other pathogens, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) [288,289] and mycoplasma pneumoniae [290]. The remaining articles were about the various other aspects of COVID-19 pathology not mentioned above [291][292][293][294][295][296], such as dealing with a dual outbreak of dengue and COVID-19 [292], and respiratory surveillance wards to detect COVID-19 early [296].…”

Background—One year has passed since the first COVID-19 case in Singapore. This scoping review commemorates Singaporean researchers that have expanded the knowledge on this novel virus. We aim to provide an overview of healthcare-related articles published in peer-reviewed journals, authored by the Singapore research community about COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic. Methods—This was reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) protocol. It included healthcare-related articles about COVID-19 published between 23 January 2020 and 22 January 2021 with a Singapore-affiliated author. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, and local journals were searched. The articles were screened independently by two reviewers. Results—The review included 504 articles. Most of the articles narrated the changes to hospital practice (210), while articles on COVID-19 pathology (94) formed most of the non-narrative papers. Publications on public health (61) and the indirect impacts to clinical outcomes (45) were other major themes explored by the research community. The remaining articles detailed the psychological impact of the pandemic (35), adaptations of medical education (30), and narratives of events (14). Conclusion—Amidst a resurgence of community cases involving variant COVID-19 strains, the resources from the research community will provide valuable guidance to navigate these uncertain times.

“…Clinical and epidemiological information are the important factors in the investigative process. Thus, as a travel history for COVID-19 epicenters, direct or indirect contact with persons suspected or confirmed of SARS-CoV-2 infection was decisive on the front line against COVID-19 in the control, treatment, and care as in diagnosis 16,17,19,21,22,24,26,29,35,[41][42][43] .…”

“…Even though the patients had some main distinctive manifestations of COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 tests using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were persistently negative in different samples at various times during the hospitalization period 16,21,24,25,30,37,38,44 . The principles of the diagnostic methods were nasopharyngeal swabs for RT-PCR 15,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]37,44 , nucleic acid test (NAT) of SARS-CoV 17 , laboratory test 19,20,22,24,31,37,39,40,[42][43][44] , chest radiography 24,27,[29][30][31]34,…”
