Symptoms of the new novel coronavirus can persist for weeks in patients who do not need to go to the hospital for treatment. This was revealed in a new medical study.
The study included a group of 272 patients with COD 19, 41% of whom persisted for 3 weeks after the onset of cough symptoms, 24% had difficulty breathing and 23% had difficulty sniffing or tasting. The senses were not working.
Another 23% had nasal congestion and 20% had headaches.
The researchers said that the symptoms of COD 19 can persist beyond the isolation period, so there is a need to raise awareness among patients and medical staff that these symptoms will gradually disappear.
The patients from the United States were diagnosed with the corona virus by Nestle Swab and were treated at a virtual clinic.
He was cared for at home until the symptoms improved and treatment was given 10 days after the onset of symptoms and 5 days after the corona virus test.
The researchers also looked at data from patients who belonged to the medical staff for an average of 20 days.
They found that the most common symptoms in these patients were cough, headache, loss of sense of smell or taste, nasal congestion and body aches, while very few people showed digestive symptoms.
But those who had digestive problems lasted longer, as 10% had cholera that lasted for at least 3 weeks.
The researchers acknowledged that their research was limited and that fever data may not be complete because patients were asked if they still had a fever.
He said that persistence of symptoms such as difficulty in breathing could lead to normal activities of the patients.
The results of the study have not yet been published in a medical journal but on a website called medRxiv.
Medical research in China has shown that a new novice coronavirus can kill a patient in an average of 18.5 days.
The study analyzed data from 191 patients admitted to Jin Yantan Hospital and Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital in Wuhan from December 29, 2019 to January 31, 2020.
This is the first study to examine the progression of serious symptoms.
As of February 1, both hospitals had admitted patients with severe code 19 symptoms, with 137 discharges and 54 deaths.
The study found that the average duration of discharge was 22 days, while the average duration of death was 18.5 days.
The average duration of fever in the recovering people was about 12 days, which was the same as in the dead, but only about 50% of the healthy people had a cough and difficulty breathing. Decreases after 13 days.
As far as those who die from the disease are concerned, the onset of the infection starts on the 9th day, while severe kidney or heart injury can last up to the 15th day.
The researchers also found that patients who survived could transmit the virus to healthy people for up to 37 days, a longer period than previously thought.
China of China. Bin Kao, a professor at Japan Friendship Hospital and Capitol Medical University, said: Can
“A negative test of code 19 should be made mandatory before allowing patients to go home from the hospital,” he said.
The study also found that 30 percent of hospitalized people had high blood pressure and 19 percent had diabetes. Blood clots also increase the risk of death.
Researchers say that old age, symptoms of infection at the time of admission, diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes are the leading causes of death.
In older people, the immune system weakens with age and can exacerbate the spread of the inflammatory virus, leading to further inflammation that can damage the heart, brain and other organs, he said. Can
During the study, researchers compared the clinical records, treatment data, laboratory results and other data of those who recovered and those who died.
They found that dying patients were older (average 69 years old) and had a higher rate of organ failure, while factors such as infections were also seen.
People with severe cases also have lower white blood cell rates, increased levels of interleukin 6 (biomarker of inflammation and chronic diseases), and increased sensitivity to trophonin I, which causes heart attacks.
The researchers said that these factors could be used to determine which patients may be at higher risk for hospitalization
