Expert: Severe patients may be more contagious than mild patients
Time: 13 February 2020 Source: Beijing Daily Client Author: Editor: Li Tuo Tian Chao

At 9 pm on February 13, the Hubei Provincial New Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Work Headquarters held the 23rd press conference. A reporter asked a question on infectious problems in severe cases.

According to Zhang Nufu, captain of the medical team of Guangzhou Support Wuhan Union Hospital and deputy director of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, the infectiousness is related to the number of viruses. The data show that 60% of patients have virus in the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the virus has also been detected in the patient's blood and stool. High viral load in critically ill patients. In mild patients, the lower viral load of the upper respiratory tract is also infectious. Theoretically, the infectivity of the severe patients may be higher than that of the mild patients.

Wartime Status Order

Party Committee of Beijing Centers for Disease Control

In order to further discipline, compact responsibility, and ensure that all prevention and control work is carried out in an efficient and standardized manner, the Party Committee of the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a wartime state order, requiring its party members and employees to fully recognize the "critical period", "critical moment", and "keys" The urgency and importance of the moment, consciously established a "very conscious" and entered a "wartime state."

The first is to insist on using "state of war" to lead the thinking.

The center not only fulfills the city's epidemic prevention and control duties, provides professional technical support duties for government decision-making, but also implements the "unit responsibility" of the "quartet responsibility" to protect the safety and health of all employees, both of which are equally important and cannot be sidelined. Under the unified leadership of the Party Committee, it unconditionally obeys the decision-making and deployment of the Party Committee in the wartime state and serves the current prevention and control work.

Criteria for referral to an intensive care hospital? Is there any other way to spread it? Hubei Provincial Conference Response

Original title: Criteria for referral to an intensive care hospital? Is there any other way to spread it? Hubei Provincial Conference Response

On February 13, the Hubei Provincial New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters held the 23rd press conference, inviting experts from the Central Steering Group Medical Treatment Team and Tong Chaohui, Vice President of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, and Guangzhou Support Wuhan Medical Union Medical Team The team leader, Zhang Nuofu, the dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, and Zhang Dingyu, the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, introduced the progress of Wuhan's critical care.

其他 Other transmission routes are possible

Zhang Nuofu, deputy director of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said that in the ICU, about 60% of the critically ill patients can detect the virus in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, and the viral load is very high. In addition to the respiratory tract, in the critically ill patients Viruses have also been found in blood and stool, and other routes of transmission are possible.

The upper respiratory tract viral load in mild patients is low, but not absolute. Whether the respiratory viral load of the elderly must be higher than mild, there is no such data now. In theory, the infectivity of the severely ill patients is higher than that of the mild, especially in the later stage, as the virus medium may be more viral. But mild patients are also contagious.

病 Compared with SARS

Tong Chaohui, deputy director of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, said that patients with new coronary pneumonia have a severe respiratory failure. Compared with SARS in 2003, the disease progresses faster and hypoxia develops significantly. In addition, the patient ’s heart The attacks are very severe, and this type of patients is more difficult to treat than before. Therefore, we propose to closely observe the vital signs of such patients, such as changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen. Second, strengthen breathing support. Third, we must actively support invasive ventilator mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane lung support.

What are the criteria for referral to intensive care hospitals?

Tong Tonghui said that when the hospital was built, a work manual was formulated, including admission criteria and critical referral criteria. For the transfer-out criteria, for example, those who are older, have a variety of underlying diseases, whose body temperature is greater than 38.5 degrees after two days of treatment, oxygen saturation is less than 93% under non-oxygen conditions, and the respiratory rate is greater than or equal to 30 times, No autonomy, etc.

Call on recovered patients to donate plasma

Zhang Dingyu, director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, said that Jinyintan Hospital only treats severe and critically ill patients, so the number of severe and critically ill patients is increasing, leading to a slight increase in the absolute number of deaths. The majority of deaths are elderly and some with basic diseases. Patient-oriented. Jinyintan Hospital is also currently in the process of recovering patients with plasma infusions, and has also shown some preliminary results, because patients with rehabilitation have a large number of comprehensive antibodies to fight the virus. Zhang Dingyu also called on patients with new coronary pneumonia to make a plasma donation after recovery to work together to rescue patients who are still struggling with the disease.

How to improve treatment and reduce mortality?

Zhang Nufu said that to improve treatment and reduce mortality, the first is the problem of the treatment place. We are now handing over critically ill patients to large hospitals; the second is the problem of equipment. At the national level, many critically ill patients have been given some equipment, including noninvasive. , Invasive and ECMO, CRT and other equipment; the third is the treatment of problems in the ICU. There are also personnel issues. A very professional ICU team is mobilized from across the country. There are places, equipment, and professional staff. I believe that there will be a good result in the treatment of this critical illness in the future.

How to treat elderly patients with underlying diseases?

定 Zhang Dingyu said that the largest discharged patient is currently 90 years old and has hypertension and diabetes at the same time. Therefore, the combination of hypertension and diabetes in elderly patients is not terrible. The first is early detection and early treatment. This is a treatment principle for all diseases. The second is to actively control the primary disease and control hypertension and diabetes. The third is to strengthen the patient's early warning and monitoring, and to actively deal with any bad signs. When it does not reach the critical condition, we can treat him as a serious condition, which may improve the cure rate of patients.

Zhang Nufu, deputy director of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, said that such patients need early intervention measures, such as moving non-invasively and invasively forward, and treating the primary disease, and improving his treatment in this way. Success rate. For elderly patients, it is also necessary to pay attention to nutritional support, because if these elderly patients have a poor basic state and insufficient nutritional support, it may also cause unsuccessful treatment of it.

何 Why the clinical diagnosis is added to the diagnostic criteria?

Tong Tonghui said that increasing the number of clinically diagnosed cases should be in line with our clinical diagnosis and treatment practices and clinicians' diagnosis and treatment ideas. At the same time, adding this level of clinical diagnosis will help bring suspect patients who meet the standard into the clinical diagnosis according to the standard. It is conducive to the management of these clinically diagnosed patients. For example, mild patients can be treated in isolation, and it is more conducive to the treatment of severe patients. This will allow more suspected patients in the past to meet clinical diagnostic criteria and get a better treatment and management. Through clinical diagnosis, it is definitely better to treat these critically ill patients in the inpatient hospital than to put them in the suspicion.

[A woman in Chengdu has been negative for 4 nucleic acid tests. The 5th was diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia] This is a new coronary pneumonia case that was diagnosed after the first people's hospital of Chengdu: Nucleic acid tests were negative for 4 times. After the doctors took samples through the bronchoscopy, the 5th test was confirmed. The hospital's vice president Wang Yongsheng said that the current understanding of new coronary pneumonia is still not completely clear. It is for this reason that, in order to do its best to avoid missed diagnosis, "the case of no fever in some cases of new coronary pneumonia and the possibility of negative nucleic acid tests" are included in the daily practice of medical staff.:tiphat:https://www.weibo.com/6105713761/ItUw5n4D4?ref=feedsdk&type=comment#_rnd1581604639300

Early in the morning to see the latest notification from Hubei Province, the number increased significantly.

Hubei latest notification: 14840 newly diagnosed cases including 13332 clinical diagnoses

Just a day ago, the number of new cases in Hubei was only 1638, which nearly doubled overnight.

why?

In the briefing, there was a statement--

Recently, Hubei Province has carried out investigations on previous suspected cases and revised the diagnosis results, and diagnosed new patients according to the new diagnosis classification. In order to be consistent with the classification of case diagnosis issued by other provinces across the country, starting today, Hubei Province will include the number of clinically diagnosed cases into the number of confirmed cases for publication.

According to the situation and understanding of Tao Ran's notes, make a few comments.

First, the data changed because the diagnostic criteria changed.

Previously, whether a patient was diagnosed was mainly based on the results of nucleic acid tests, and combined with CT imaging, cough, and other symptoms were needed to make a comprehensive judgment.

With the deepening of epidemic prevention and control and the continuous accumulation of clinical data, a new situation has gradually emerged-

Due to the slow time of nucleic acid testing, some patients cannot be diagnosed and admitted, but the clinical manifestations of the disease are highly suspected of neocoronary pneumonia.

If the identification criteria are not changed, it will be difficult for these patients to receive effective assistance, which will also have a negative impact on the overall epidemic prevention and control.

The main change this time is to incorporate clinical diagnosis into the scope of confirmed diagnosis.

Secondly, data changes reflect seeking truth from facts, indicating that "receivables and exhausted payments" are accelerating.

Including the number of clinically diagnosed cases in the statistics of confirmed cases is a realistic change.

This change is beneficial to the treatment of patients and the prevention and control of the epidemic, and will have a positive impact on accelerating patient admission and speeding up epidemic prevention and control.

At the same time, we should also see that the changes in the numbers are mainly reflected in the new classification of confirmed and suspected patients, and the total amount of data has not increased rapidly. If the admission process is put in place, the relevant data will also drop quickly.

In the end, the epidemic prevention and control has reached the most critical stage, and there must be no slackness.

Again, the relationship is significant, and we must not be perfunctory, slack or retreat.

Could you please introduce some of your housekeeping skills, and what are their advantages and specialties in critical care?

Han Ding, Deputy Director of Peking Union Medical College Hospital:

This question is very good, in fact each hospital has its own advantages. What we undertake is the intensive disease intensive ward for the infectious diseases in the Tongji Hospital's New China Hospital, that is, the most severely admitted patients. Therefore, the hospital was very well prepared. The director of the severe infection and respiratory department in the rear area came to support. Many experts and medical staff have experience in fighting SARS.

At the same time, we brought related specialists to support Wuhan, including experts in liver, digestive function, kidney and even nervous system, endocrine metabolism. Because critically ill patients will eventually accumulate in various organs and have some basic diseases, we will make full use of this comprehensive advantage and expert advantage. The most advanced treatment support methods in China should be used. We treated a total of 32 patients. In addition to conventional intravenous drugs and nutritional support, almost all of the critically ill patients were intubated on the ventilator. Individual patients also used ECMO, emergency pericardial puncture and drainage, etc. to achieve the goal of reducing mortality.

Zhou Jun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital:

The China-Japan Friendship Hospital has advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. On the whole, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital has achieved coverage from the prevention of respiratory diseases to the research and treatment of end-stage respiratory diseases. This time we want to give full play to the advantages of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. The experts from the relevant teams have come to Wuhan, and it can be said that a very strong technical force has formed. In order to give full play to the level and role of this team, the China-Japan Friendship Hospital shipped three consecutive batches of equipment worth more than 15 million yuan from Beijing in less than ten days, including invasive ventilators, ECMO, and bedside hemofiltration. And monitors. I believe our team will be able to play a role in intensive care and reduce mortality. Thank you.

Ma Xin, Deputy Dean of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University:

This time Huashan Hospital came to Wuhan, it brought very capable backbones and high-precision equipment. In the backbone, our Infectious Diseases team and Infectious Diseases team provided very important support. Everyone knows that Professor Zhang Wenhong, the net red doctor, is the director of our infectious disease department. This time, I brought some other directors from their department to the medical team. The Department of Infectious Diseases of Huashan Hospital is a discipline with a glorious history, ranking first in the country for 9 consecutive years. They have accumulated a wealth of experience in the control of infectious diseases.

Our infectious physician played a huge role in this epidemic prevention process. Because epidemic prevention and control, process design, and sensory control design are very important, this time our mobile hospital is set up in Hongshan Stadium. This is a square cabin hospital with 800 beds. We quickly treat 500 to 600 patients. This is a huge challenge. Because the gymnasium is not a medical institution, the courtyard feel process is particularly important. Its architectural pattern, electrical wiring, water, and toilets are not designed according to the hospital. At this time, the hospital feel experts play an important role. He wants to line up troops and reasonably divide clean areas, polluted areas, and semi-polluted areas. First of all, reduce the infection rate of medical staff and strive for zero infection. In addition, through reasonable division, patients can be well isolated. Yesterday, 28 patients were discharged from the Fangcai Hospital of Hongshan Stadium. The sensory control team of Huashan Hospital made a very outstanding contribution.

The day before yesterday, our team of 210 people took over the intensive care unit in the Guanggu District of Tongji Hospital. Professor Chen Yi, deputy director of the infection department, divided the rehabilitation ward into very fine polluted areas, semi-polluted areas and clean areas to provide our medical team A very good working environment, while allowing critically ill patients to receive safe treatment.

In addition to the personnel, we also have sufficient footholds in Huashan Hospital on the high-precision equipment. Everyone knows that during the epidemic prevention and control and the treatment of severe pneumonia, ECMO, non-invasive ventilator, invasive ventilator, hemodialysis equipment and equipment are needed, and this time we have brought them. I believe that these high-precision technology and high-precision equipment will play a very important role in the treatment of critically ill patients. Thank you.

Xinhua News Agency: Regarding the medical treatment of New Coronary Pneumonia, the principle of "Four Concentrations" is adopted. What does it specifically refer to and what kind of effect do you hope to achieve?

Zhou Jun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital:

In accordance with the principles of centralized patients, centralized experts, centralized resources, and centralized treatment, it is necessary to concentrate the strength of superior forces to enable timely and effective treatment of critically ill patients. Specifically, on the one hand, the patients are brought together, especially for the critically ill patients, to be treated intensively, and the advantaged resources are used to carry out treatment in relatively strong medical institutions. Although Wuhan is very strong in medical resources, medical technology, and strength, it still seems inadequate to face so many patients, and it needs to gather the nation's main forces. Many hospitals across the country have brought some key equipment and strived to improve the cure rate and level of patients.

Therefore, I think the "Four Concentrations" principle is very important for controlling the entire epidemic. Thank you.

CCTV reporter from CCTV: According to the previous press conference, the Tongji Hospital Sino-French New City Hospital is a hospital for the treatment of critically ill patients. The medical teams of many domestic top hospitals are gathered here. Could you please ask the team leader to introduce them in Tongji Hospital? How did the AFP campus work?

Han Ding, Deputy Director of Peking Union Medical College Hospital:

There are a total of 18 national, provincial and municipal medical teams in the Tongji Hospital's Sino-French New City Hospital District, and each medical team has about 150 people. How does such a large team work? It depends on the overall division of labor and cooperation. The overall deployment and guidance was carried out by Director Ma Xiaowei of the National Health Commission. Each medical team is responsible for the construction of a ward, and each ward has about 50 beds.

Each medical team forms a multidisciplinary collaborative team in the ward to treat patients, and these medical teams conduct remote consultations and remote rounds by remote means and behind. In addition, these medical teams also set up medical offices with each other, which is responsible for organizing patient consultations throughout the entire hospital area, and performing treatment quality control and safety management.

These medical teams are from the top domestic hospitals. I believe that when we cooperate, we will have the confidence and ability to complete the tasks entrusted to us by the country. confidence. Thank you.

Zhou Jun, Secretary of the Party Committee of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital:

The China-Japan Friendship Hospital, like the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, undertakes the treatment of patients in the China-French New City Hospital of Tongji Hospital. We are all members of the Tongji Hospital family and work under the specific leadership and arrangements of Tongji Hospital. The China-Japan Friendship Hospital has also undertaken a ward and 50 beds in the Tongji Hospital District. The hospital has been fully filled up, and all of them are critically ill, and a considerable part of them are critically ill. After we came to the hospital to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, we first designed a series of procedures from receiving patients to transferring patients, including patient identification, rescue, transfer, critical case discussion, and death case discussion.

The second is to establish a new system, including a transfer system, a duty system, and a medical staff hospital sensory control system, which requires everyone to work in strict accordance with the self-protection series of specifications. These systems are very necessary, we are facing an infectious disease, and we must be able to ensure that the team members achieve zero infection. In the next step, we need to classify patients according to the centralized management model, centralize the critically ill patients, and let the main expert resources work harder on the critically ill patients. At the same time, we are preparing to carry out the next series of ECMO and invasive ventilator treatments. Strive to adopt such a series of arrangements so that the entire medical work can achieve our desire to increase the cure rate and reduce the mortality rate while ensuring the quality and safety of the medical treatment. Thank you!

Reporter of Central Radio and Television Central Broadcasting Corporation: This question was raised to Dean Ma Xin. According to our understanding, the medical team of Shanghai Huashan Hospital is distributed in multiple hospitals. Could you please tell us how the medical team works, especially the critical care? aspect.

Ma Xin, Deputy Dean of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University:

There are a total of four medical teams from Huashan Hospital to Wuhan. The first four-person medical team is at Jinyintan Hospital and the second four-person medical team is at Wuhan Third Hospital. These are two small medical teams. The third medical team is in the square cabin hospital of Hongshan Stadium. This team has 46 people, and the fourth team has a larger number of 215 people. In the intensive care unit of the Guanggu District of Tongji Hospital, these four teams are in the distribution of materials. It is a unified management and unified deployment. Whoever has a shortage or shortage of materials, the four teams discuss each other and deploy each other. In terms of personnel management, we are relatively independent, but sometimes we need consultations and individual support, and we also support each other.

The most distinctive of these teams are the 3rd and 4th, and the 3rd is a team of square cabin hospitals. This team's work style is different from our other teams, because everyone knows that the square cabin hospital is also A new thing is a coordination thing for our doctors and for our patients. A generous cabin may have 1,000-2000 beds and a small number of 500 beds. During the treatment here, our team needs to cooperate with each other. At the beginning, there were certain challenges. Like Hongshan Stadium, a total of 13 medical units work here. We need all of us to cooperate with each other, and everyone needs to be very coordinated. Here we rely on the People's Hospital of Wuhan University. The People's Hospital of Wuhan University serves as a foundation and a foundation. Everyone cooperates with the work of the People's Hospital of Wuhan University. As a supporting unit, we give full play to our strengths and different strengths to bring out our strengths. . Therefore, the operation of the square cabin hospital is quite good, and there are preliminary good results. A large number of patients will be discharged from the hospital.

In terms of critical care, we have received the intensive care unit of the Guangji Branch of Tongji Hospital. Although there are not many beds, all of them are critically ill patients. A considerable part of them need to use ventilators, invasive ventilators, ECMO. Our requirements are also very high. Counting down to 20 nurses and 4 to 5 doctors for each case, we will put them in critical care. There will be many invasive operations in the rescue process, and the risks are relatively high, which poses a great challenge to the doctor's requirements for sensory control. We also brought the elite team of sensory control experts, infectious diseases department, and ultrasound department from the hospital. I believe that they can run together and learn from each other, which will definitely give them critical care.

Coronary pneumonia recovered from plasma therapy for over 10 people, clinical signs and symptoms improved significantly
Time: 13 February 2020 Source: @ State-owned small new authors: Editor: Li Tuo

Recently, there have been heavy news in the treatment of new crown pneumonia. Sinopharm @ 中国 生物 CNBG has completed the collection of plasma from some of the recovered patients, and carried out the preparation of new crown virus-free plasma products and immune-free globulin. After rigorous blood biosafety testing, virus inactivation, and antiviral activity testing, special immune plasma has been successfully prepared for clinical treatment!

With the close cooperation of all parties, on February 8th, based on the new coronavirus-infected pneumonia diagnosis and treatment program (the fifth edition) as a guide, the first phase of the new crown-free plasma for 3 critically ill patients was carried out in the First People's Hospital of Jiangxia District There are currently more than 10 critically ill patients treated with follow-up hospitals. Clinically, after 12 to 24 hours of treatment, the main inflammatory indicators in the laboratory were significantly reduced! The proportion of lymphocytes increased, key indicators such as blood oxygen saturation and viral load improved, and clinical signs and symptoms improved significantly.

New crown special free plasma products are plasma donated by high-priority new crown virus specific antibodies donated by rehabilitation patients, processed after virus inactivation, and tested against new crown virus neutralizing antibodies and multiple pathogenic microorganisms. Treatment of patients.

From the perspective of clinical pathogenesis, most patients with neocoronary pneumonia after treatment and rehabilitation will produce specific antibodies against neocoronavirus in the body, which can kill and clear the virus. At present, under the premise of lack of vaccines and specific therapeutic drugs, the use of this special-free plasma product to treat neocoronavirus infection is the most effective method, which can significantly reduce the mortality of critically ill patients.

New crown pneumonia, fourth-generation virus infection appears
Post time: 13/02/2020-16:46 Change time: 13/02/2020-16:46


In Chongqing, China, nine new cases of new coronavirus have been confirmed in the past day, and the total number of cases has increased to 518. Experts from the local health and health committee reported that two "fourth-generation infection cases" had appeared for the first time a few days ago. In addition, the proportion of third-generation infection cases has increased significantly, indicating that the chain of infection is prolonged, further increasing the difficulty of prevention and control. The fourth-generation infection represents that the virus was transmitted from person to person three times after the first infection.

According to Dongsen News today, a fourth-generation infection has appeared! Chongqing officials announced that "two cases have occurred and the proportion of third-generation infection cases has also increased. The official website of the Chongqing Municipal Health and Health Commission reported on the 13th that from 12 to 24 o'clock on February 12, 2020, Chongqing reported 9 new confirmed cases of new pneumonia, One new severe case was added, one severe case was converted into a normal case, two severe cases were converted into critical cases, two critical cases were converted into severe cases, and 15 new cases were discharged.

As of 24:00 on February 12, Chongqing had reported a total of 518 confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia, 29 cases of severe cases, 24 cases of critical cases, 3 cases of deaths, and 102 cases of discharged patients. A total of 18,925 people were closely tracked. , 11,755 people have been released from medical observation, and 7170 people are still receiving medical observation.

The report quoted experts suggesting that as the investigation of suspected cases continues to increase throughout the city, the range of close contacts will also expand, which will indirectly protect the susceptible population, and the proportion of suspected to be diagnosed and the proportion of close contacts to be diagnosed will decline. This will play a positive role in the prevention and control of the epidemic in the coming week; however, among the new cases, the proportion of third-generation infection cases will increase significantly, and the source of the infection also found that two cases of fourth-generation infection occurred for the first time on February 10, and the chain of infection was extended. The difficulty of control is further increased.

It is worth mentioning that as early as January 24, a detailed information on neo-crown pneumonia published by the World Health Organization (WHO) showed that there were fourth-generation infection cases in Wuhan and second-generation infection cases outside Wuhan. However, the WHO did not release details later.

An excellent read on the situation.
One clearly sees dedicated people trying to manage a disaster, lacking adequate resources and effective tools.
It is not obvious that our own health care system will perform better, perhaps not even as well.

Meanwhile, the economic impact remains a wild card. China is still poor, most people need to get paid to be able to eat.
Industry is reacting to the outbreak by deferring the restart of production, so the workers don't get paid.
The crisis may impact areas not yet hit by the virus as a result.

Clinical diagnosis of new crown pneumonia
2020-02-14 04:27:40 Source: Sanxiang Metropolis Daily

The Hubei Provincial Health and Health Committee notified on February 13 that from 00:00 to 24:00 on February 12, Hubei Province newly added 14840 new cases of pneumonia (including 13332 clinically diagnosed cases). This number caused concern. So what are clinically diagnosed cases and why should we increase clinically diagnosed cases? Professor Zhang Weidong, director of the Second Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, and member of the Hunan Provincial New Coronary Virus Infection Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Team, and a member of the provincial expert group, explained it (scan the eyebrow QR code to listen to expert explanations).

Why is there a significant increase in confirmed cases?

Experts believe that the significant increase in confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia announced on the 12th in Hubei is due to the inclusion of 13332 clinically diagnosed cases in the confirmed cases. According to the "New Coronavirus Infected Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Program (Trial Fifth Edition)", patients who were temporarily negative for nucleic acid testing in Hubei area or were unable to perform nucleic acid testing, but whose imaging characteristics met the criteria for new coronary pneumonia were included in clinical diagnosis.

Professor Zhang Weidong explained that the clinical diagnosis is a special case, that is, the case meets the epidemiological history, there are any three clinical manifestations of fever, fatigue, and dry cough, and the imaging (chest CT) shows a new crown virus infection. The performance, although he (she) has not been tested for nucleic acids, is also called a clinically diagnosed patient.

The purpose of this is to get the cases treated in time. After the clinical diagnosis is confirmed, the patients can be treated with new coronary pneumonia, which is good for control.

Are there any clinically diagnosed cases in other provinces outside Hubei?

Professor Zhang Weidong said that there may be, but the imaging manifestations of ordinary pneumonia and neocoronary pneumonia are not very different. At present, it is the period of high incidence of influenza. Therefore, if the patient does not have a history of exposure, when CT related symptoms appear, he will be considered as general pneumonia such as influenza pneumonia. Instead of first thinking about new coronary pneumonia. Taking Hunan as an example, the diagnosis of new coronary pneumonia patients requires a positive nucleic acid test.

Why does Hubei Province do this?

Professor Zhang Weidong said that the main situation is different. There are too many people with close contact history in Hubei Province. Therefore, when the patient's chest CT shows symptoms of new coronary pneumonia, he will be included in clinical diagnosis and receive new coronary pneumonia in time.

How do you understand this sudden increase in data? Professor Zhang Weidong analyzed that there are several reasons. The first is the lack of manpower before. Now medical personnel are sent to support the country to speed up the testing. Secondly, the new clinical diagnosis cases today are all suspected cases before, so the data will suddenly increase.

In summary, the national data shows a downward trend these days, especially outside Hubei Province. Although the number of patients is still increasing, the increase has slowed significantly, which is a good trend.

Professor Zhang Weidong reminded that, for everyone, apart from abiding by the relevant state regulations, they still have to wash their hands frequently, go out less frequently, wear masks, and not gather.
