Symptoms in Lion City are less runny
(Singapore, 18th) Many local cases of Singapore infected with the new type of coronavirus pneumonia have fever, cough and diarrhea. Unlike ordinary flu, these patients are not much runny.
Su An, the clinical director and senior consultant of the National Infectious Diseases Center, who revealed the clinical characteristics of Singapore's new crown pneumonia patients to the media for the first time. He (Shawn Vasoo, 41) also revealed that they did research on 19 patients participating in the investigation and found that about half of the stool had the virus. He was not surprised by this and emphasized the main transmission channel of the crown disease virus. Still droplets of the respiratory tract.
This new outbreak, like SARS, is a coronavirus. "Some people with SARS also have a fever and cough, and some people have diarrhea."
Feces may not have symptoms
Dr. Warsaw speculates that the virus may enter the large intestine through the digestive system or blood, but some people have no symptoms even if the virus appears in their stool.
About one-third of crown disease cases at the Singapore Infectious Disease Centre have diarrhea, but diarrhea may not be caused by the new virus.
This is reminiscent of the fact that hundreds of people in Hong Kong's Amoy Gardens may have contracted SARS due to fecal transmission during SARS in 2003. Just last week, a team of Chinese infectious disease experts Zhong Nanshan and Academician Li Lanjuan also isolated the virus from the patient's stool samples, confirming that live virus does exist in the stool.
"To be on the safe side, we told patients to cover the toilet before flushing, because the stool may be infected with viruses."
The National Infectious Diseases Center, which was just completed last year, is the main town for controlling the epidemic and isolating multiple confirmed cases. Due to the large number of cases exposed, doctors can also see some preliminary trends.
Dr. Hua Su revealed that patients with new coronary pneumonia are different from common cold patients and do not have a runny nose, but the cause is unknown for the time being. The common symptoms of the patient are fever, muscle aches, and pneumonia of varying degrees in half.
"Some people say that you can tell whether a germ or a virus infection is based on the color of sputum or snot. In fact, it is not clear, let alone whether the color of the snot is different between the virus and the virus. We have to test before we know.
5 days before someone is diagnosed
Dr. Huasu said, "We have a few patients with preliminary symptoms such as fever and muscle soreness, but the genetic test could not detect it, and it was not detected until the fifth day. This is more complicated and not everyone is admitted to the hospital Or the diagnosis will be confirmed as soon as symptoms appear, so laboratory reports, patient visits, X-ray imaging, and physical examinations can be used to infer the possibility of infection. "
There are currently five infection groups in Singapore. He pointed out that these local cases are not necessarily related to people from China, but because they are close to each other.
New Crown Pneumonia Questions and Answers:
① Q: Will I get sick from eating hot pot?
A: If the food is cooked, it should not be a hot pot problem. I believe that one of them is sick and everyone sits close. The steam in the hot pot is also a possibility (to let the virus volatilize), but it should not be the reason, it should be relatively close contact.
In fact, droplets from a cough can be sprayed up to one meter away. If others breathe in, they can become infected. If you have a stronger cough, you may spray further.
②Q: Will the patient be able to pass from person to person without symptoms?
Answer: It is not impossible, but there is not enough medical evidence. In the case of influenza, the symptoms can be passed on to people the day before the symptoms are not too obvious, and they are contagious within 7 days after the symptoms appear. Measles can be transmitted to others 4 days before the symptoms appear, and it will not be transmitted a few days after the erythema appears. Measles can be transmitted to as many as 18 people per person, so the measles vaccination is mandatory.
New crown pneumonia may be transmitted from one person to three to four people, and it should be symptomatic. For example, the cough is transmitted to others.
③Q: Is the new coronary pneumonia more severe in the second week?
A: Not everyone does, and most people disappear within a week. Only a few, about 20%, will have inflammation of the lower respiratory tract (trachea and bronchi), and more severe ones have to be admitted to the intensive care unit.
However, entering the intensive care unit does not mean that it will not improve. We have patients in the intensive care unit. After the respirator is installed, the situation improves and the breathing tube has been drawn out. We are also very happy. We are also concerned about those who are still in the intensive care unit, and we must do our best to restore their lung function.
④Q: How do I distinguish between new coronary pneumonia and bone pain fever?
Answer: The body soreness of new crown pneumonia is different from bone sore fever. Patients with osteoarthritis are less likely to have cold symptoms such as dry cough, runny nose or sore throat. The main symptoms are fever for 5 to 7 days, muscle aches and headaches, especially eye socket pain, or back pain.
