| Abstract: | Background: The new SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron, responsible for a cluster of cases in South Africa and now spreading around the world including India. It carries mutations associated with enhanced transmissibility and partial resistance to vaccine induced immunity. Method: In this case series, we included 104 patients who tested positive for Omicron variant of COVID-19 and observe to collect data regarding demography, vaccine status, clinical manifestation, inflammatory markers, lung imaging and outcome. Results: The mean age of omicron infected patients was 37.96 years (37.96 ± 19.57) with female preponderance (61.54%). 90.38% patients were found to be asymptomatic and 69.23% patients were fully vaccinated. 80% patients were remained unexposed to previous COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 related inflammatory markers not raised significantly. All patients are discharged safely at home after an average seroconversion period of 5.65 days without any adverse event. Conclusion: Omicron is found to be less severe but highly transmissible variant of concern which might be escape from natural immunity or vaccine derived immunity. |
