“…Similar to our study, male dominance was seen in all the studies reported during the first wave and second wave. [ 9 11 15 17 19 ] The most common comorbid illness found in our patients were hypertension, followed by diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and bronchial asthma. This was again comparable to all Indian studies done during the first and second waves.…”

“…[ 15 ] conducted during the first wave in India reported that ICU admission was needed for 37.7% of patients. Another study by Soni et al ,[ 19 ] which was also during the first wave of COVID-19 in India, reported that ICU admission was required for 15.7% of patients, oxygen supplementation for 16.6% of patients, and NIV for 1.7%. This again proves that the second wave of COVID-19 was more devastating in India compared to the first wave.…”

A BSTRACT Background: The second wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in a significant rise in the number of infections and deaths as compared to the first wave. The published literature till now is limited to tertiary hospitals. We did this study to describe the demographic characteristics and outcomes of patients admitted to a secondary care hospital in central India during the second wave of the pandemic. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective observational study conducted in a secondary hospital in central India. The data of patients with COVID-19 infection admitted between March 25 to May 25, 2021, were retrieved and analyzed. Results: A total of 184 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 54.8 ± 14.5 years. Comorbidities included hypertension (40.2%), diabetes mellitus (29.9%), hypothyroidism (4.3%), and asthma (2.7%). The most common presenting complaints were cough (78.8%), breathlessness (61.4%), and fever (60.9%). The mean duration of symptoms was 5.4 ± 2.6 days. According to High-Resolution Computerised Tomography (HRCT) chest severity score, 29/181 (16%) patients had mild disease, 135/181 (74.5%) patients had moderate disease, and 17/181 (9.5%) patients had severe disease. The majority of the patients received remdesivir (90.2%) and 123 patients (66.8%) received corticosteroids. Half the patients (52.2%; n = 96) required intensive care unit admission, 79.3% (145 patients) required oxygen support, and 8.1% (15 patients) required non-invasive ventilator support. Conclusion: Our study from a secondary hospital setup showed that the second wave was very severe with a high requirement of oxygen support and intensive care monitoring.

Introduction: The outbreak of coronavirus diseases 2019 (Covid-19) caused by SARS-COV-2 which started in Wuhan china led to an alarming level of spread and severity. In Nepal, the first case of COVID-19 was reported on 23.1.2020 and has become a global health crisis since then. The clinical presentation and outcome of patients with COVID-19 have been variable in different countries and therefore it is important to analyze as well as document the clinical behaviors of this disease in the local population so we have reported the clinic-epidemiological profile, outcome, and its association with conjunctivitis during the second wave of this pandemic which hit Nepal badly hoping this study will be helpful to tackle the future surges of COVID-19 as well. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, single-center study where the data regarding epidemiology, demography, common clinical presentation as well as management and outcome of COVID-19 Patients were retracted and analyzed. Results: A total of 238 COVID-Positive patients were admitted out of which 60% were male and 39.9% people belonged to Dang valley itself with dyspnea (67.2%) was the commonest symptoms followed by fever in 59.7% of patients. Out of these patients 9 patients presented with ocular symptom conjunctivitis. Conclusions: Mild conjunctivitis manifesting as conjunctival congestion is common and one of the major ocular manifestations in COVID -19 positive patients.

“…Although it was estimated that there were ~20% asymptomatic cases in first 100 laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection patients in Taiwan [24] , more accurate estimates for the total asymptomatic cases during the pandemic period is still pending for investigations due to the lack of real-time detections of asymptomatic patients at that time. Based on clinical observations or retrospective case-control approach, previous studies revealed that there were 48.5, 52.5, and 57.8% of SARS-CoV-2 infected cases remained asymptomatic in the country [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] . Systematic review and meta-analysis also found approximately 24.2% and 31% asymptomatic cases of infected people [45] , [46] .…”
