According to an article published on The Times website, experts from the British College of Critical Care Medicine said that by observing the situation of thousands of critically ill patients who survived in COVID-19, it was found that COVID-19 virus could attack the human body in all directions, and the patients' lungs, hearts and other organs would be damaged by COVID-19 virus, which would take as long as 15 years to recover. COVID-19 is very serious.
The feelings of COVID-19 infected people during their illness are very painful. The Daily Express reported that Jamie East, a British patient, attacked many British people's claims that COVID-19 just had a "bad cold". He said that in that "terrible week", he not only could not move, but also lost his appetite, "just like being hit by a truck." 」
Medical research has found that COVID-19 can attack not only human respiratory system, circulatory system, excretory system and digestive system, but also human reproductive system and nervous system.
COVID-19 mainly causes lung injury. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, which mainly affects the lungs. Therefore, COVID-19's first injury is the lung, and the recovery of lung diseases needs a process.
According to the data of the British College of Intensive Care Medicine, about 65,438+07% of the critically ill patients in COVID-19 developed the so-called "Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome" (ARDS). These patients have a strong inflammatory reaction in the lungs, and even there is water in the lungs. They can't breathe without medical help. Even with the help of "artificial lungs", they can gradually recover, but the repair of their lungs takes a long time, often lasting several years.
1/5 The infected people in COVID-19 suffered from heart damage. According to an article in Scientific American magazine on April 6th, in addition to lung injury, many patients in COVID-19 suffer from heart problems-they died of cardiac arrest. One out of every five patients suffers from heart damage, which can lead to heart failure and death even in patients with no signs of respiratory distress.
American research confirmed that coronavirus pneumonia-19 attacked the testis. Two scholars under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) also published the latest research results, pointing out that spermatogonia, interstitial cells and sertoli cells in male testis are all targets of novel coronavirus's attack, and if infected, it may lead to male sperm failure.
Zhang Ming, an associate professor at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, and others published a paper on the "MedRxiv" website, pointing out that COVID-19 damaged male reproductive function and attacked testicles, resulting in significant changes in sex hormone levels.
Viruses can affect the sense of smell and taste, and about 20% of patients in China have abnormal sense of smell and taste. The command center also pointed out that there is an opportunity to list this symptom as one of the symptoms in the future.
Professor Zhang Nanji, an immunologist from Taiwan Province Province and former Institute of Microbial Immunology of Yangming University, explained: "Because COVID-19 mainly attacks the nasal cavity, and your mouth and nasopharynx are connected, just like when you eat noodles, you may choke and flow out of your nose, so the virus may also flow in it. SARS before 17 was a coronavirus, and there are still patients who have not recovered their sense of smell and taste.
Professor Zhang Nanji, who attacked the brain and caused meningitis and abnormal mental state, mentioned in an exclusive interview with Hehe Health a few days ago that meningitis and abnormal hearing may occur in COVID-19 in the future. "Because if the virus goes up, the most worrying thing is that it may hurt the meninges. Although there are fewer opportunities, if hearing is damaged, it may also affect people's sense of balance. 」
Japanese medical institutions have found that COVID-19 can attack people's brains. A COVID-19 patient has diseases such as meningitis because of the presence of COVID-19 in his bone marrow fluid.
The New York Times reported that in early March, a 74-year-old man went to the emergency room in Florida with cough and fever, but X-ray examination showed that he had no pneumonia and asked him to go home for observation. But the next day, he "lost the ability to speak". There were patients in Italy, so he had psychological obstacles.
There are also studies that are harmful to the kidneys and intestines. Recently, the research team of China Third Military Medical University published an uncensored paper on medRxiv, which confirmed that COVID-19 could directly attack the kidney. However, this symptom did not appear in Taiwan Province province.
In addition, diarrhea has been included in the definition of diagnostic notification in COVID-19. Zhang, the expert convener of the command center, said that the diarrhea of the confirmed patients ranged from light to heavy, and some people even had diarrhea seven or eight times a day. Domestic case statistics also found that the virus amount of infected people was the highest within one week of onset.
Therefore, although COVID-19 has a high chance of being cured, its harm and influence on the body should not be underestimated. Each of us should try our best to avoid being infected with this virus, and strive to prevent and control the epidemic and prevent infection.
