The epidemic situation in our country is happening complicatedly, you need to update some other covid-19 symptoms to limit the risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus.
In recent days, people across the country have been "holding their breath" to monitor the situation of Covid-19 again, especially in Da Nang and Quang Ngai, new cases in the community have not found any trace of F0. Facing this tense situation, all people in all regions of the country also need to improve their knowledge and add new information to cope with the COVID-19 epidemic .
We all know that the most common symptoms of a COVID-19 infection include: a dry cough, fever, and difficulty breathing .
Common manifestations of Covid-19 infection.
However, according to the researchers, there are other symptoms that are less common but also require special attention, typically diarrhea .
An observational study analyzes data from the multicast population in China, conducted by staff members of the COVID-19 Medical Experts Group in Wuhan published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology on March 18 shows that digestive problems such as diarrhea , vomiting and abdominal pain appear in many COVID-19 positive patients.
This is surprising because we have never thought of it before, but the fact is that half of the infected people have experienced it. More specifically, compared to those without gastrointestinal problems, the group with gastrointestinal diseases had a higher risk of death from COVID-19 infection .
Specifically, in the first 204 cases of COVID-19 in 3 separate hospitals in Wuhan with the mean age of the patient was 54.9 years (107 males and 97 females), the researchers confirmed the Respiratory symptoms are the most common sign of a COVID-19 infection. But more importantly, up to 99/204 patients (48.5%) surveyed had gastrointestinal symptoms as the condition worsened over time. It is worth mentioning that some of these patients did not even have respiratory symptoms despite confirmed positive for the virus.
In addition, those with gastrointestinal symptoms , including loss of appetite or loss of appetite (83.8% of patients), diarrhea (29.3%), vomiting (0.8%), and pain abdomen (0.4%) also had "worse clinical outcomes and a higher risk of death than those without gastrointestinal symptoms", Dr. Brennan MR Spiegel, co-editor of the Journal of Criteria. American chemistry has explained in the research publication.
Given the fact that patients with no gastrointestinal symptoms were more likely to be cured and discharged from the hospital than patients with symptoms, (60% of those with no gastrointestinal symptoms were discharged, compared with only 34.3% of patients have gastrointestinal symptoms), Dr. Spiegel emphasized "it is necessary to pay attention to diarrhea symptoms to raise doubts about the possibility of COVID-19 infection early in the treatment process, even before respiratory symptoms appear and develop ”.
It is reported that the first patient in the US infected with COVID-19 after being admitted to the hospital reported abdominal pain and diarrhea. According to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers then took a sample of the patient's stool and tested it, and they found the RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in it.
Another study shared on biorXiv, a platform that published pre-publishing scientific papers, said it discovered an enzyme marker of the corona virus in the colon and small intestine cells of positive patients .
Some people with COVID-19 in Vietnam have also reported diarrhea, vomiting or nausea.
However, these symptoms can be relatively rare: A study published on pre-publication medRxiv looked at data from 1,099 COVID-19 patients. The results indicate that less than 4% of these people have diarrhea and about 5% experience vomiting.
These uncommon symptoms were not highlighted in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) official public guidelines.
Previous research showed that a SARS patient in 2003 with diarrhea spread the virus in feces through wastewater, exposing an entire apartment complex in Hong Kong.
Dr. Susan Kline, spokesperson for the American Infectious Diseases Association, told MedPage Today that gastrointestinal symptoms were "not uncommon" in SARS-infected patients during the deadly 2003 outbreak of the dangerous virus. .
Dr. Kline also said that there are many medical conditions that cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting, even if it is not the main symptom. Watching for gastrointestinal symptoms can be a very important precaution during outbreaks of COVID-19.
Thanks to these symptoms, patients can be monitored, proactively isolated early, and treated earlier.
