Cluster of COVID-19 variant first detected in India found in Oklahoma

Oklahoman The Oklahoma State Department of Health has identified a cluster of 17 recent cases in Oklahoma of a variant of COVID-19 first detected in India. Three of the cases in the cluster were in people who were fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine, health officials said. Two were partially vaccinated at the time their symptoms began.  There are now a total of 18 confirmed cases of the variant, called B.1.617.2, in Oklahoma, and the cases have been identified across all age groups, according to the Health Department. In each case, the person had symptoms of COVID-19, and none have been hospitalized.

New rapid test identifies N gonorrhoeae in less than 15 minutes

e and analyzes its resistance to ciprofloxacin. The test was used on penile swab samples from 66 patients in Baltimore and 151 patients in Kampala, Uganda. A compact tool performed DNA extraction, PCR, analyzed results and relayed data to patients via a phone application. The test’s overall sensitivity was 97.7% (95% CI, 94.7%-100%), and its specificity was 97.6% (95% CI, 94.1%-100%) for N. gonorrhoeae. Test results were also in 100% concordance with culture results for ciprofloxacin resistance. “The advances demonstrated so far in magnetofluidic cartridge technology show great promise for delivering rapid gold-standard infectious disease diagnostics in a scalable and accessible format which could revolutionize STI treatment and rationalize antimicrobial use and stewardship,” Wang said.

COVID-19 Variants On The Rise, But Full Vaccination Can Help Stop Spread

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 69% of COVID-19 infections in Oklahoma s region are now caused by variant B117. More variants are on the rise, as well. We have not identified any new variants.but variants of interest have grown considerably, said Dr. Jennifer Clark of Oklahoma State University s Project ECHO.    Viruses change constantly through mutation, and a variant has one or more mutations that differentiate it from other variants. There are three classifications for variants: variants of interest, variants of concern, and variants of high consequence. While there are no variants of high consequence (meaning vaccine resistant) in circulation, Oklahoma State Department of Health s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Gitanjali Pai says there is evidence completing a full vaccine cycle can protect against variants.
