RESUMEN
To understand the spread of SARS-CoV2, in August and September 2020, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (India), conducted a sero-survey across its constituent laboratories and centers across India. Of 10,427 volunteers, 1058 (10.14%) tested positive for SARS CoV2 anti-nucleocapsid (anti-NC) antibodies; 95% with surrogate neutralization activity. Three-fourth recalled no symptoms. Repeat serology tests at 3 (n=346) and 6 (n=35) months confirmed stability of antibody response and neutralization potential. Local sero-positivity was higher in densely populated cities and was inversely correlated with a 30 day change in regional test positivity rates (TPR). Regional seropositivity above 10% was associated with declining TPR. Personal factors associated with higher odds of sero-positivity were high-exposure work (Odds Ratio, 95% CI, p value; 2{middle dot}23, 1{middle dot}92-2{middle dot}59, 6{middle dot}5E-26), use of public transport (1{middle dot}79, 1{middle dot}43-2{middle dot}24, 2{middle dot}8E-06), not smoking (1{middle dot}52, 1{middle dot}16-1{middle dot}99, 0{middle dot}02), non-vegetarian diet (1{middle dot}67, 1{middle dot}41-1{middle dot}99, 3{middle dot}0E-08), and B blood group (1{middle dot}36,1{middle dot}15-1{middle dot}61, 0{middle dot}001). Impact StatementWidespread asymptomatic and undetected SARS-CoV2 infection affected more than a 100 million Indians by September 2020. Declining new cases thereafter may be due to persisting humoral immunity amongst sub-communities with high exposure. FundingCouncil of Scientific and Industrial Research, India (CSIR)
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a disorder of the connective tissue that is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and is caused by mutations in the gene coding for fibrillin-1 (FBN1). This condition commonly affects the skeletal system, pulmonary system, ocular system and the cardiovascular system. Surgical intervention is often needed to correct the various deformities affecting the patients to restore the function, improving the patient's aesthetic appearance and quality of life. PRESENTATION OF CASE: It's a rare case report of a young male patient suffering through unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis, obstructive sleep apnea and unaesthetic appearance while being a case of Marfan syndrome. DISCUSSION: This paper highlights the various surgical procedures undertaken to correct the deformities affecting the individual and improving the overall health of the patient. CONCLUSION: Our patient's management shows the necessity of a multidisciplinary, multi factorial and multi-faceted approach with early visual identification and diagnosis.
