Medical staff performed a cesarean section under "reload", and gave birth to a baby girl at noon on the 24th. This is also the first case of a new type of pneumonia in Hubei Province where a highly suspected mother gave birth successfully.
            27-year-old Ma Li (pseudonym) and her husband live in Jiangxia. They have been undergoing regular pregnancy tests since pregnancy last year and have never noticed any abnormalities. On the morning of January 23, Ma Li went to the Jiangxia District People's Hospital for a checkup and found that the fetal heart was too fast in her abdomen. When she was hospitalized in the afternoon, she found that her temperature was high. Subsequently, the patient went to a fever-designated hospital for a high-level suspicion of a new coronavirus pneumonia through a chest CT examination. To avoid the risk, the child must be delivered as soon as possible. However, due to the tightness of the beds in major hospitals, her husband took Mary to many hospitals and was not successfully hospitalized.
            6 On the morning of the 24th, at 6 am, Mary again suffered from fever and shortness of breath. When she arrived at Zhongnan Hospital, her husband's mood collapsed.

At present, the maternal accounting test has been sampled and is waiting for a confirmed diagnosis. The initial examination of the newborn is normal.
            "This is the first time I have worn protective clothing for surgery. Generally, a caesarean operation that can be completed in half an hour, this time it took more than an hour." Surgeon Guo Juanjuan said that the medical staff wore heavy protective clothing and Wearing goggles not only restricted the field of vision, but also caused heavy movements, so the operation time was twice as long as normal. After the operation, everyone was sweating, but seeing the new life of "check-in" in this special period, it was full of joy. (Reporter Wu Ye, Correspondent Gao Xiang, Li Yan)

                    January 24, 2020 18:43 Source: Caixin.com
                    The kit is insufficient and the patient is highly suspected to be undiagnosed. The risk of cross-infection in mixed clinics cannot be underestimated, people expect the Wuhan "Xiaotangshan Hospital" to be completed soon


                    Mr. Wu: No kit

                    "I really hope to be able to do a virus test. Is it Wuhan pneumonia? Give a statement. But the hospital does not have a kit for Wuhan pneumonia virus test and cannot be diagnosed." Mr. Wu told Caixin reporter.

                    Mr. Wu's father is 62 years old and lives at a distance of three kilometers from the South China Seafood Market. Wu's father is a chef who works as a chef in a public institution. He commutes to the South China Seafood Market every day by work.

                    On January 13th, Wu's father had a fever. He had a three-day suspending needle in the community hospital, and the fever was gone. On the 19th, he had a fever again and was rushed to the emergency center at Wuhan Central Hospital. He had routine blood tests and routine tests such as A and B streams. No problem. On January 21, he had a fever of 38 degrees again. On January 22, Mr. Wu took his father to Wuhan Red Cross Hospital to take a chest lung CT scan. The CT showed a severe lung infection. The doctor recommended hospitalization. "The doctor told me that there was no bed, so I registered the phone and said that if there was a bed, I would be hospitalized directly. If there was no bed, I would get an injection every day. I would go home and isolate and come back tomorrow."

                    Wu's father had a serious lung infection. He performed routine investigations such as A and B. From the symptoms and CT, he was highly suspected of Wuhan pneumonia. ”However, no test was performed and the diagnosis could not be confirmed. Mr. Wu asked Wuhan Red Cross Hospital to give his father During the virus test, I was told that the hospital did not have a virus test kit and could not perform the test. "If the test is impossible, the diagnosis cannot be confirmed, and it is difficult to be hospitalized without the diagnosis. "

                    Similar to Mr. Wu's father, Mr. Li, who is suspected to be infected with pneumonia in Wuhan, also has the same distress. "I also know that I am a mobile virus source, but the hospital does not accept me and I have no choice." Mr. Li said, The biggest problem with confounding is cross infection.

                    A doctor at Wuhan Red Cross Hospital told Caixin reporter that only a few top three hospitals in Wuhan have a test box for Wuhan pneumonia. Wuhan Red Cross Hospital currently does not have a test box. The hospital will send suspected patients at high risk to the province. The CDC reported that the provincial CDC had taken samples from the Red Cross Hospital. As for how many cases were sampled and tested by the Provincial CDC at the Red Cross Hospital, medical staff declined to say. Caixin reporters conducted ten random investigations of fever patients in the fever clinic. Six of them had lung infections on CT, but none were selected for virus testing.

                    An imaging doctor at a third-tier hospital in Wuhan said that 70% of the patients admitted to his hospital for a fever diagnosis had lung infections, but none were diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia, and the hospital did not have a kit for detecting Wuhan pneumonia virus. . "These people are all highly suspect patients."

                    Ms. Wang: Eight people in the family are difficult to be hospitalized

                    Ms. Wang, who lives in Zhongyi Road, Jiang'an District, is even more unfortunate. Her family of eight had a lung infection and repeatedly requested hospitalization, but all failed.

                    Ms. Wang Wang told Caixin reporter that she was impressed with Wuhan pneumonia because one of her neighbors was sent to hospital for isolation after having a cold and fever, and died in less than a week. Subsequently, her relatives, the aunt, her uncle and her children were recruited for viral pneumonia. This made her alert, taking her temperature every day. On January 18th, the body temperature was 38.1 degrees. I went to the hospital for routine tests and found no problems. He had a fever on January 19, and has not had a fever since. The temperature measured in the hospital on the 22nd was 36.6 degrees.

                    After she had a fever, Ms. Wang still felt walking panting and coughing. On January 19, she underwent a CT scan at the Wuhan Central Hospital and found shadows in the lungs. The doctor said it was viral pneumonia. "I asked the doctor if it was Wuhan new type of pneumonia. The doctor said yes, but the diagnosis can only be confirmed by the kit."

                    On January 20, Ms. Wang found that her husband also started to pant, and his limbs were weak. On January 21, Ms. Wang's husband was performing a CT at Wuhan Central Hospital. There was also a virus in the lungs. Ms. Wang speculated that she had transmitted it to her husband. Because her husband also suffered from kidney disease and was very weak, on January 22, Ms. Wang accompanied her husband to the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital to request admission procedures, but could not register. The reason is that her husband's temperature test was only 37.2 degrees, which did not reach the 37.3 degrees required for fever diagnosis. "She dialed the hotline of the Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Commission and finally settled it. Because of kidney disease, Ms. Wang's husband requested hospitalization, but was informed that the beds were being disinfected, and they could not be opened until they were all vacated.

                    On the same day, the aunt and uncle who often walked in the same district with Ms. Wang also had fever. The two went to Wuhan Red Cross Hospital for treatment, and the CT film was still a lung infection. Ms. Wang's aunt also suffered from rectal cancer, but she was still unable to be hospitalized. She just registered and let her wait for a phone call.

                    "If I quarantine in time, my husband, uncle, and uncle may not be infected with the virus." Ms. Wang said she was guilty but could do nothing about it.

                    Mother-in-law Yu: Helplessness in the mixed clinic

                    What is more worrying is those patients with ordinary fever, because according to the new regulations, fever patients with a body temperature of 37.3 degrees will go to the hot spot for diagnosis and treatment. High-risk suspected Wuhan pneumonia patients are mixed with ordinary patients. The 69-year-old mother-in-law had a fever of 38.7 degrees. There was no problem with CT. The community hospital that usually treats common fevers and colds could no longer diagnose fever patients. Mother-in-law was diverted to Wuhan Red Cross Hospital. Although wearing a mask, she was exposed to high risk for a long time. Among infected people, Grandma Yu felt even more uncomfortable. "I usually have a common fever in a community hospital and I don't have to wait in line. Now I'm overcrowded and I've queued for five hours. It's not my turn. It's too hard to see a disease, and I'm worried about cross infection." Yuma said.

                    Mixed visits are also helpless for hospitals. A doctor from Wuhan Red Cross Hospital also acknowledged that there is a certain problem with the mixed medical system. "Today is the first day of the implementation of the new regulations. Everything has a process of adjustment, but the starting point for this decision is good. Make adjustments. "The medical staff said that the hospital will issue a medical mask to every fever patient in an effort to avoid virus infection. However, several medical staff in Wuhan Red Cross Hospital were diagnosed with Wuhan pneumonia.

                    On January 23, Wuhan decided to launch the SARS "Little Tangshan Model" to focus on treating Wuhan pneumonia and highly suspected cases to avoid spreading infection. For a large number of highly suspected patients, the only hope is that this hospital will be completed soon.

                      Fever cough is not the only first symptom of pneumonia due to a new coronavirus infection
                      2020-01-24 19:45:50 Source: Xinhua News Agency

                      研究 Expert research by Wuhan University People's Hospital found that after infection with new type of coronavirus pneumonia, patients do not necessarily show symptoms of fever and respiratory system first, and there are also symptoms of digestive system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, ophthalmology and so on.

                      Wuhan University People's Hospital released on January 24th "The first symptoms of non-respiratory system are highly valued-identification and protection of patients with new type of coronavirus pneumonia (2019-nCOV)", reminding medical staff and the public to be highly vigilant about non-respiratory symptoms The first symptom of new pneumonia.

                      The "Notice on the Issuance of a New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Trial Implementation)" issued by the authoritative department recently pointed out that the clinical manifestations of new coronavirus pneumonia are mainly manifested by fever, fatigue, and dry cough. In the multidisciplinary department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Gastroenterology, People's Hospital of Wuhan University, many cases of "atypical" cases have been discovered during the diagnosis and treatment of new pneumonia.

                      于 Professor Yu Honggang, director of Department of Gastroenterology, People's Hospital of Wuhan University, introduced an "atypical" case. A 45-year-old man went to the outpatient department of gastroenterology for 3 days due to diarrhea. The doctor repeatedly asked the medical history to confirm that he had a history of exposure to the new coronavirus pneumonia, but no obvious fever and related respiratory symptoms. Thorough CT was performed after the consultation between the doctor and the patient. The results showed multiple sheet-like ground glass-like shadows in both lungs, and a new coronavirus nucleic acid test in the throat swab was positive, and the diagnosis was finally confirmed.

                      Professor Chen Guozhong, one of the study moderators and director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical I, Wuhan University People's Hospital, introduced that in many clinical cases, the patient did not have typical respiratory symptoms such as fever and cough at the time of consultation, and only the first symptoms of digestive system symptoms: Such as mild appetite, fatigue, poor mentality, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc .; first manifestations of neurological symptoms such as headache; first manifestations of cardiovascular system symptoms such as palpitation, chest tightness, etc .; first manifestations of ophthalmic symptoms such as conjunctivitis ; Only mild sore limbs or lower back muscles.

                      Experts reminded that the above-mentioned patients with non-respiratory system as the first performance are easy to go to relevant departments for treatment, especially in gastroenterology. The lack of obvious specific clinical manifestations increases the difficulty of diagnosis, easily leads to missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis, and increases the chance of infection. Medical staff must be alert to patients with poor appetite, fatigue, muscle soreness (including mild soreness), and mental disorders, and make timely investigations. Such "atypical" patients need to strengthen self-isolation, and medical staff should also strengthen self-protection.

                          The reporter combed and found that on January 10, the new coronavirus gene sequence was announced to the public, and many companies announced the development of test kits. Among them, Shanghai Genuo (hereinafter referred to as Shanghai Genuo) affiliated to Sinopharm China Biological is the first company to successfully develop a test kit.



                          On January 13, Soworld Biotech announced that after 3 days of overnight research and development, the development of a new coronavirus nucleic acid detection kit was completed. On January 15, BGI announced that its subsidiary Shenzhen BGI Yinyuan Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully developed a test kit.


                          On January 20, Kehua Biological announced that Tianlong Technology, a subsidiary of the company, urgently tackled the development and production of test kits. On the same day, Shengxiang Bio announced that the kit was successfully developed in only 72 hours, and the test results can be obtained in as short as 30 minutes. On the same day, Daan Gene confirmed in an interview with the media that the company has developed a kit.


                          On January 22, Xilong Science responded to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's attention letter and stated that its subsidiary Icway Bioassay Kit had been listed.


                          From the information released by various companies, there is currently sufficient production capacity of test kits. Wu Qingyi, the secretary of the company, said in an interview today that the company is providing the market with a production rate of 100,000 copies per day. The relevant person in charge of Shanghai Jeno also told the media today that according to the calculation that each kit can be used for 50 people, the current production volume of the kit can be used for tens of thousands of tests.


                          Most logistics have stopped shipping, transportation becomes a new problem


                          Although many biotechnology companies have successfully developed kits, the "National First Provincial Coronary Virus Infection Pneumonia Case Confirmation Procedure" issued by the National Health and Medical Commission only circled the kits of three companies to choose from.


                          The above documents mentioned that the provincial CDC nucleic acid detection kits can be selected from three companies: Shanghai Pharom Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Genuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Berger Medical Technology Co., Ltd.


                          Kobayashi (pseudonym), a sales person responsible for the supply of a new coronavirus kit from a biological company in Hubei, told reporters that there is no technical difficulty in developing the kit. Many companies have successfully developed the virus gene sequence within a short period of time after the virus gene sequence was announced. Only three companies were named in the first document of the Health Commission, so the disease control department could only go to these three companies for procurement, and the output naturally could not keep up. "Some people with disease control responsible for procurement took cash and went to the door of these three companies to squat Wait for the kit. "


                          Due to the urgency of the epidemic, all companies that have developed kits have not yet obtained formal registration qualifications. Kobayashi told reporters that the registration process of the kit is complicated, and it normally takes two to three years to obtain formal registration qualifications.


                          Since January 22, the National Health and Medical Commission has repeatedly revised many documents such as the prevention and control of new-type coronavirus pneumonia, and the diagnosis and treatment plan, and has not made recommendations to the test kit vendors. Since then, the procurement of kits everywhere is not limited to three companies. The reporter was informed that many biological company kits have been supplied to the disease control centers of many provinces and cities nationwide.


                          But delivery has become a new challenge. Wu Qingyi said that since most of the logistics had been suspended before the Spring Festival, the company's sales staff basically adopted the personal delivery model.


                          For blocked areas, the detection kit is even more difficult to access. Kobayashi told reporters that after the Wuhan access corridor was closed, the kits could not enter Wuhan. Yesterday, colleagues of the company took thousands of human kits and took them to Wuhan.




                          Daily testing samples will be increased from 200 to 2000


                          The kit can give test results within 3 hours, but a case is not diagnosed so quickly.




                          According to an official report, from January 16 to January 22, the process of detecting suspected cases in Wuhan is as follows: the first diagnosis of the hospital through standardized pre-diagnosis, combined with clinical examination, laboratory examination and chest imaging examination; After the consultation, suspected cases were confirmed and sampled. The disease control center of the jurisdiction transferred the samples to the city's disease control; the city's disease control center transferred to the provincial disease control center for nucleic acid testing. The provincial CDC can detect more than 200 samples every day. It takes about 2 days from the start of sampling to the return of results.



                          Why not send a kit to the hospital for direct testing? In fact, not all hospitals have biosafety labs that meet protection requirements.



                          According to China's "Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control Law", since the country has incorporated the new type of coronavirus pneumonia into the Class B infectious diseases, adopting Class A management, the detection of samples of this type of pathogens is managed according to highly pathogenic pathogenic microorganisms, and the relevant samples are tested and transported It must meet the relevant requirements of biosafety management, and pathogen-related experimental activities should be carried out in a biosafety laboratory with the corresponding protection level.



                          Waiting for the disease control department to issue a test result, will it affect patient treatment? A person familiar with the Wuhan medical system told reporters that at present, doctors at hospitals in Wuhan that receive fever patients at selected sites through consultations, combined with lung CT and other test results, even if there is no test result from the kit, can basically determine whether the patient may be infected with the new coronavirus. , And be treated in accordance with the corresponding diagnosis and treatment process.



                          However, the official number of confirmed cases depends on the test results of the kit. According to the National Health and Medical Commission monitoring program, nucleic acid testing is an important step in the diagnosis of suspected cases of new coronavirus pneumonia.



                          On January 18 and 19, Wuhan reported a sudden increase in the number of confirmed cases. One of the reasons was that for the first time on January 16, a test kit was obtained from the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention and a nucleic acid test was performed on suspected cases.



                          The reporter learned from the Wuhan Municipal Health and Health Committee that, starting on January 22, Wuhan has designated some hospitals and municipal disease control centers and other biosafety laboratories with corresponding protection levels to carry out the detection of pathogenic nucleic acids in related samples. The first batch of 10 institutions is expected to be fully operational. It can detect nearly 2,000 samples per day. It is planned to urgently transport 30,000 copies of kits to the designated testing institutions. At present, 6,000 copies have been distributed.



                          With the continuous distribution of 30,000 kits, it is still unknown whether the number of confirmed patients will increase significantly.

                              First patient diagnosed with pneumonia cured by new coronavirus discharged from Zhejiang


                              Langzhong New Network, Wenzhou, January 24th (Reporter Zhang Yuhuan and Pan Qinwen) On the 24th, a simple farewell ceremony was held in the outpatient hall of Wenzhou Central Hospital Medical Group (Wenzhou Sixth People's Hospital). On the same day, the first patient diagnosed with pneumonitis infected by a new coronavirus in Zhejiang Province was discharged here.


                              It is understood that Mr. Yang, the first confirmed patient with pneumonitis infected by a new coronavirus in Zhejiang Province, was admitted to the hospital for treatment on the 17th, and returned to normal body temperature after consultation with the Wenzhou diagnosis and treatment expert group, and the respiratory pathogens on January 18 and 20 The nucleic acid test was negative, and after careful care by medical staff, he has recovered and was discharged.

                              Mr. Ye Yang has lived in Wuhan for a long time and is engaged in home improvement business. After driving back to Wenzhou on January 3, fever symptoms appeared the next day. "I installed an elevator in Wuhan and felt feverish when I came back. When I came to the hospital, I found out that this new coronavirus-infected pneumonia. After admission, the hospital took good care of me every night and took my temperature for 4 hours a day. No matter Day and night, the care is very attentive. I am very grateful to the doctors and nurses who treated me, they worked hard. "

                              On the same day, Mr. Yang's elder brother came to meet him and was discharged from the hospital. He recalled that after discovering Mr. Yang's fever, his family immediately reported the information and cooperated with the isolation treatment for the first time, which defeated the disease so quickly and effectively. "The reason why we are so proactive is that since we have this infectious disease, we must be responsible for ourselves, our families, and the society. If we conceal the disease, spreading it is harmful to everyone."

                              Mr. Dai Jianyi, the chief physician of Mr. Yang, said that currently there is no targeted medicine for pneumonitis infected by the new type of coronavirus. Therefore, his treatment of Mr. Yang mainly improves the patient's immunity through related methods and makes the patient heal themselves. "After receiving the notification, we immediately vacated the ward and admitted this patient. We are also very happy with his recovery and it is instructive for us to follow up with other people. This disease, I feel it can be cured and it is controllable of."

                              Mr. Dai Jianyi said that after Mr. Yang was discharged, the hospital would also return to him to follow up the physical condition. "We remind citizens to wear a mask, wash their hands frequently, not to cough, and to target the three transmissions of droplets, air, and contact. Generally, it will be much better than one meter away from patients."

                              As of 24:00 on January 23, Zhejiang Province has reported 43 confirmed cases of pneumonitis with new coronavirus infection, 6 severe cases (8 cases in total, 2 of which have been converted to mild cases), and 1 discharged patient. (Finish)
