Novel coronavirus can live in body for 37 days, remains detectable until death

20 Mar 2020 by

Adult inpatients with the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are at an increased risk of mortality if they are older, have high Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and d-dimer >1 μg/mL, according to a China study. Viral shedding can last for up to 37 days among survivors, while the virus appears to be detectable until death among nonsurvivors.

Serum HMGB1 predicts onset, severity of AE-IPF

20 Mar 2020

Increased levels of serum high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is associated with earlier onset of acute exacerbation (AE) in stable idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients and shorter survival in those with AE-IPF, a recent study has shown. This signifies that HMGB1 predicts the acute deterioration of IPF.
