自2021年11月24日首次向世界卫生组织报告严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2变种B.1.1.529（omicron）以来，上个月已在90多个国家检测到omicron变种病例。我们调查了 2021 年 12 月 4 日至 17 日在韩国国家医疗中心隔离的首批 40 名 omicron 变异患者的临床和流行病学特征。患者的中位年龄为 39.5 岁。 22 名患者 (55%) 是女性。 17 名患者 (42.5%) 已完全接种疫苗，没有人再次感染 omicron。十八人 (45%) 最近有国际旅行史。一半患者（19人，47.5%）无症状，其余患者症状较轻。六名患者（15%）在胸部影像上显示肺部浸润；然而，没有人需要补充氧气。这些轻微的临床特征与其他国家最近关于 omicron 变体的病例报告一致。
Since severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 variant B.1.1.529 (omicron) was first reported to the World Health Organization on November 24, 2021, the cases of the omicron variant have been detected in more than 90 countries over the last month. We investigated the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the first 40 patients with the omicron variant who had been isolated at the National Medical Center in South Korea during December 4–17, 2021. The median age of the patients was 39.5 years. Twenty-two patients (55%) were women. Seventeen patients (42.5%) were fully vaccinated, and none were reinfected with the omicron. Eighteen (45%) had recent international travel history. Half of the patients (19, 47.5%) were asymptomatic, while the others had mild symptoms. Six patients (15%) showed lung infiltrations on chest image; however, none required supplemental oxygen. These mild clinical features are consistent with recent case reports on the omicron variant from other countries.
