Initial symptoms of coronavirus?
summary
The symptoms after coronavirus infection are similar to those of SARS. Patients with coronavirus infection may have acute and severe respiratory diseases, accompanied by fever, cough, shortness of breath and dyspnea. Severe cases may have renal failure and death. But there are many similarities with SARS virus. It can spread easily not only among people, but also in hospitals. It is not clear whether the new virus is transmitted through coughing, sneezing or other indirect routes. Initial symptoms of coronavirus? Let's talk about it.
Initial symptoms of coronavirus?
Over 50% mortality! Compared with SARS 10 years ago and h7n9 virus not long ago, this data is even more startling. Recently, New Coronavirus, which has appeared in many countries, has been tagging a "SARS" virus.
Compared with the mystery of infection source, researchers have a better understanding of the mechanism of New Coronavirus invading the human body. Erasmus medical center in the Netherlands reported in the authoritative journal Nature online that there is a protein named "dipeptidyl peptidase-4" on the surface of some cells of human respiratory tract, and the virus will use this protein as the "landing point" to attach to respiratory tract cells, invade cells and cause infection.
If a specific antibody is used to affect the protein on the cell surface, New Coronavirus will lose the "landing point" and cannot infect healthy cells. This discovery helps to develop new methods of prevention and cure, but also reveals that New Coronavirus has great potential threats. Because the protein dipeptidyl peptidase-4 exists not only in human cells, but also in bats and other animals, the virus may use this protein to spread among multiple species.
matters needing attention
Once confirmed infection should take isolation care, medical staff should be equipped with appropriate equipment to prevent infection. Coronavirus is usually more vulnerable, after leaving the human body survival time is only about 24 hours, most disinfectants and cleaners can kill this virus.
