    Abstract Cough- and asthma-like symptoms are common adverse reactions to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi). However, attributing these symptoms to the use of ACEi might be masked by clinical confounders. We report a 68-year-old female residing in a long-term acute-care facility for patients requiring prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation treated for years with ACEi. Daily reversible bouts of life-threatening severe bronchospasm gradually developed over 6 weeks and abruptly resolved following the cessation of ACEi treatment. The late appearance of bronchospasm and the unique clinical setup of chronic invasive ventilation in a patient with smoking-related chronic obstructive lung disease are among the principal confounders that delay the identification of the causative association between ACEi and respiratory compromise. Chronic positive pressure ventilation may also conceal small airway reactivity and obstruction, similar to auto-positive end-expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP). Conceivably, angiotensin receptor blockers should be preferred over ACEi in such patients.

    Abstract Background: The management of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic depends amongst other factors on disease prevalence in the general population. The gap between the true rate of infection and the detected rate of infection may vary, especially between sub-groups of the population. Identifying subpopulations with high rates of undetected infection can guide authorities to direct resource distribution in order to improve health equity.
    Methods: A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was conducted between April and July 2021 in the Pediatric Emergency Department of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel. We compared three categories: unconfirmed disease (UD), positive serology test result with no history of positive PCR; confirmed disease (CD), history of a positive PCR test result, regardless of serology test result; and no disease (ND), negative serology and no history of PCR. These categories were applied to local prevailing subpopulations: ultra-orthodox Jews (UO), National Religious Jews (NRJ), secular Jews (SJ), and Muslim Arabs (MA).
    Results: Comparing the different subpopulations groups, MAs and UOs had the greatest rate of confirmed or unconfirmed disease. MA had the highest rate of UD and UO had the highest rate of CD. UD significantly correlated with ethnicity, with a low prevalence in NRJ and SJ. UD was also associated with larger family size and housing density defined as family size per number of rooms.
    Conclusion: This study highlights the effect of ethnicity on disease burden. These findings should serve to heighten awareness to disease burden in weaker populations and direct a suitable prevention program to each subpopulation's needs. Early awareness and possible intervention may lower morbidity and mortality.
