Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

After several pneumonia patients were reported to be positive for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in December 2019, it rapidly spread across the world. There have been more than 270 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 5.3 million deaths have been reported. In addition, a total of approximately 8.4 billion vaccine doses have been administered.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine aims to highlight the current state of the global pandemic and its association with various otorhinolaryngologic diseases. Numerous cases have reported that COVID-19 infection and vaccination could induce various otorhinolaryngologic symptoms. Therefore, through this Special Issue, we would like to investigate various otorhinolaryngologic diseases related to COVID-19 and consider appropriate medical responses.

Dr. Min Young Seo
Guest Editor

It has been claimed that a tighter, reinforced quarantine strategy was advocated to reduce the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during major outbreaks; however, there have been no prior quantitative studies examining the effectiveness and duration of such a reinforced quarantine. Consequently, the purpose of this research was to determine the impact of a “tighter, reinforced” quarantine during the third COVID-19 breakout wave in South Korea, which occurred between late 2020 and early 2021. The efficacy of the quarantine was determined by comparing the number of newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients between the “prediction model” and “actual observed data.” Two prediction models were developed using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA; 1, 0, 0) model. The effect of a “tighter, reinforced” quarantine, which would show as an immediate drop in the number of new cases, predicted its efficacy by lowering the number of new cases by 20,400. In addition, the efficacy of the quarantine lasted up to more than three months. The findings of our investigation confirmed the beneficial influence of “tighter, controlled” quarantine laws during a widespread COVID-19 epidemic. During an epidemic, when the population has not yet developed immunity to respiratory viral diseases, our study may be evidence for implementing stricter quarantine restrictions in order to reduce the number of new cases.

Patients with severe pneumonia of unknown etiology presented in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. A novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), was isolated from the respiratory tracts of these patients. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined respiratory diseases due to SARS-CoV-2 infection as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Many researchers have reported that the nasal cavity is an important initial route for SARS-CoV-2 infection and that the spike protein of this virus binds to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on epithelial cell surfaces. Therefore, COVID-19 is thought to significantly affect nasal symptoms and various rhinological diseases. In this review, we summarize the association between COVID-19 and various rhinological diseases, such as olfactory dysfunction, rhinosinusitis, and allergic rhinitis. Full article
