Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Observational Study on the Prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections in Cheonan from 2017 to 2021Sun Jung Lee, Tae Su Jang, Jae Kyung KimAlthough the global incidence of sexually transmitted infections is increasing annually, there are few studies in Cheonan that have analyzed the frequency of infection by individual bacterial species by age since 2017. Therefore, in this observational study, we investigated trends in sexually transmitted infections in Cheonan, South Korea, since 2017. From January 2017 to November 2021, 3,297 specimens were obtained … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2024 · 6,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation Rate and Species Distribution of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria From 2014-2021Tae Soung Kim, Ga Yeon Kim, Young Ki Lee, Jae Kyung KimIn Korea, the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections has decreased; however, the incidence of lung diseases attributed to Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing. This study aimed to elucidate the isolation rate and distribution of NTM recently isolated at a Korean test center. Respiratory samples for acid-fast bacilli culture collected between January 2014 and December 2021 at a test center in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2023 · 4,983 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Results for Latent Tuberculosis Infection Diagnosis at a Referral Clinical Laboratory in South KoreaTae Soung Kim, Ga Yeon Kim, Young Ki Lee, Jae Kyung KimThe world health organization states that individuals with Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) are infected with Tuberculosis (TB) bacteria but do not show symptoms of active disease. However, they are at possibility of developing vigorous TB and potentially transmitting the illness to others. In 2018, South Korea reported a 14.8% positivity rate in LTBI screening, with higher rates observed among older … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 25 Oct 2023 · 6,033 accessesView PDFCite

The aim of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies and predictors among health care workers at the Departmental and Teaching Hospital of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 26 Apr 2023 · 5,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Model and Analysis for the COVID-19 InfectionJonathan Tsetimi, Marcus Ifeanyi Ossaiugbo, Augustine AtonujeThe dreaded COVID-19 is a communicable respiratory disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus that causes illness in humans. A study of the transmission dynamics of the disease is essential in the control and elimination of the disease. In this research work, we made some assumptions and employed a deterministic SEIR model in the study of the transmission dynamics … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 6 Jun 2022 · 6,023 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractCOVID-19 Diagnosis in Asymptomatic: RT-qPCR or any other Cost-Effective Method?Mayank Agarwal, Yogesh Arvind Bahurupi, Prasan Kumar PandaOn January 30th, 2020, the World Health Organization announced the COVID-19 outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. In the view of this pandemic, early diagnosis is the mainstay for halting the disease progression. Quantitative real-time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) has been established as the cornerstone for the diagnosis of COVID-19. However, the significance of RT-qPCR positivity … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 2 Jun 2021 · 6,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptomatic COVID-19 Patients: Experience and Lessons from a Developing CountrySylvie Kolani, Houda Alami, El Harch ibtissam et al.The world is facing a pandemic due to the SARS-Coronavirus 2, since late 2019. Many questions remain unanswered regarding the disease course. Key amongst its talking point is the case of asymptomatic patients. This potentially jeopardizes infection control strategy as asymptomatic cases are difficult to identify and hence difficult to isolate. Our study intends to define the clinical and radiological … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 22 May 2021 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
