Immune responses and safety of COVID-19 vaccination in atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome patients in Taiwan
Vaccine. 2023 Aug 25:S0264-410X(23)00952-0. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.08.020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare, life-threatening disorder which can be triggered by COVID 19 infection and COVID 19 vaccination then induce multiple organ failure. Our study is the first to evaluate immune responses to COVID-19 vaccination and safety in a cohort of patients in a local single-center study in Taiwan.. Results indicate that vaccines effectively shield aHUS patients from severe COVID-19 complications without significant safety concerns. A double booster dose for the third vaccine is essen...

Hepatitis B reactivation: A possible cause of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine induced hepatitis
CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 vaccine induced hepatitis is a clinical significant complication, and HBV reactivation may account for a possible mechanism.PMID:37349170 | PMC:PMC10281508 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.06.007

Epidemiological characteristics of the three waves of COVID-19 epidemic in Taiwan during April 2022 to March 2023
CONCLUSION: During the three waves of COVID-19 epidemic, the numbers of cases and deaths gradually declined, while the vaccine coverage increased. It may be appropriate to consider easing restrictions and returning to normality. However, continued monitoring of the epidemiological situation and tracking the emergence of new variants are crucial to prevent the possibility of another epidemic.PMID:37301691 | PMC:PMC10213295 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.05.027

A case with prolonged headache after COVID-19 vaccination and later developed Bell's palsy
CONCLUSION: Reactivation of latent herpes virus has been suggested as one of the possible mechanisms underlying the phenomenon, but the causal pathophysiology related to the symptom needs further validation. Moreover, in the event of facial palsy post-vaccination, alternative diagnoses such as Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), Ramsey-Hunt syndrome, Lyme disease, trauma, central nervous system infection (CNS) infection, or stroke should also be considered.PMID:37198509

Viral dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infections in a previously low COVID-19 prevalence region: Effects of vaccination status, antiviral agents, and age
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated the primary viral infection dynamics of the Omicron variant in hospitalized patients. Vaccination significantly affected viral dynamics, and antiviral agents modified viral dynamics irrespective of vaccination status. In elderly individuals, viral clearance is slower than that in adults and children.PMID:37179128 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.04.023

Pediatric glomerulopathy after COVID-19 vaccination: A case series and review of the literature
CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest case series to date of pediatric glomerulopathy after COVID-19 vaccination. From our report, patients with either newly diagnosed or relapse of glomerulopathy after vaccination had good outcomes, and receiving vaccination to prevent COVID-19 infection or complications should be encouraged in pandemic era under close monitoring kidney manifestations.PMID:37147241 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2023.04.014

Achievements of COVID-19 vaccination programs: Taiwanese perspective
J Formos Med Assoc. 2023 Apr 27:S0929-6646(23)00143-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jfma.2023.04.017. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a global health crisis. The specific characteristics of aerosol transmission in the latent period and the contagiousness of SARS-CoV-2 lead to rapid spread of infection in the community. Vaccination is the most effective method for preventing infection and severe outcomes. As of December 1, 2022, 88% of the Taiwanese population had received at least two doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Heterologous...
