To PCR or not? The impact of shifting policy from PCR to rapid antigen tests to diagnose Covid-19 during the omicron epidemic
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had caused huge impacts worldwide. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the mainstay diagnostic modality. In most hospitals in Taiwan, samples for PCR are collected at emergency department (ER) or outdoor clinics to avoid virus spread inside hospitals. Home rapid antigen test (RAT) is a feasible, low-cost, and convenient tool with moderate sensitivity and high specificity, which can be performed at ho…
Appendicitis as a Leading Manifestation of Kawasaki Disease in Older Children
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systematic inflammatory disease with multiple organ involvement. Timely diagnosis and prompt management are essential for successful treatment. KD, with an atypical presentation, remains a diagnostic challenge for physicians. We report a five-year-old boy who presented with appendicitis. An appendectomy was performed; however, his fever persisted. The boy was diagnosed with KD and intravenous immunoglobulin was administ…
Taiwan Government-Guided Strategies Contributed to Combating and Controlling Covid-19 Pandemic
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is highly contagious, and thus has become an emerging health crisis worldwide. The optimal strategies to prevent the spread of this disease are inconclusive, and therefore, the adopted measurements to combat COVID-19 varies in different countries. In mid-March and late-August 2020, we performed internet searches to collect relevant information, from sources such as the website of the World Health Organization. …
