Symptoms of transmissible atypical pneumonia?

Atypical pneumonia is relative to typical pneumonia, which is usually caused by common bacteria such as pneumococcus. The symptoms were typical, such as fever, chest pain, cough, expectoration and so on. Laboratory examination showed that the white blood cells increased, and antibiotic treatment was effective. Atypical pneumonia itself is not a newly discovered disease. It is mostly caused by virus, mycoplasma, chlamydia, Rickettsia and other pathogens. Symptoms, lung signs and blood test results are not as obvious as typical pneumonia infection. Some viral pneumonia antibiotics are ineffective.

Atypical pneumonia is caused by a coronavirus. Because the pathogen has been identified, it can be called coronavirus pneumonia. Hong Kong researchers said that the main route of transmission of coronavirus pneumonia is indirect contact. Coronavirus can survive in vitro for several hours, and can be infected by touching eyes, mouth and nose with hands. The University of Hong Kong has developed antibody test and virus gene test, in which the gene test can know whether you are infected with SARS within hours, and can distinguish coronavirus pneumonia from other types of pneumonia.

Most people with atypical pneumonia developed after 4 days of infection, with fever as the first symptom, lasting more than 39 ℃ for several days. Some people can be accompanied by headache, chills, fatigue, joint pain, body aches, diarrhea. The symptoms of respiratory tract are obvious, such as dry cough, little sputum and occasionally bloody sputum. In severe cases, dyspnea symptoms such as breathing acceleration and suffocation appear after 5 days. Very few patients have respiratory failure. If the diagnosis and treatment is delayed, they may die.

matters needing attention

1. Keep the working and living environment ventilated (especially the units with high-end decoration and central air conditioning should open windows regularly for ventilation), and disinfect the indoor environment when necessary (fumigate with 15% Peracetic acid, 7 ml / m3, 1-2 hours a day); 2. Try to reduce activities to places where people are concentrated; 3. To shorten the time of visiting patients, 16 layer cotton gauze mask should be worn and replaced every four hours. It is better to visit through windows; 4. Pay attention to personal hygiene, wash hands with soap and running water frequently; 5.
