[Voice of Hope June 26, 2023](Editor: Li Wenhan) Are you still disturbed by the new crown? Otorhinolaryngology clinic physician Zeng Jiacheng shared that the latest research shows that the incidence of sequelae of new coronary pneumonia is at least 10%, and the possible damage is still difficult to estimate. It is not just the respiratory and gastrointestinal system, but damage to multiple organs of the body, including heart disease. , liver, spleen, lung, kidney, pancreas, and immune, blood vessel, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and nervous systems. Some symptoms can last for several years, or even life, especially neurological symptoms and impaired cardiopulmonary function.

“Liberty Times” quoted Zeng Jiacheng’s article in the Facebook fan page “Book Rice Worm’s Eating Diary” that according to the latest review article of “Nature reviews” appeared in more than 10% of infected patients, at least 65 million people in the world have long-term infection. In the new crown, and the number of people continues to increase, there may be, but not necessarily, multiple organ damages in the same case at the same time as follows:

heart:Manifestations include chest pain, palpitations, possibly impaired cardiac function, inflammation of the myocardium, orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

lung:Manifestations include coughing, dyspnea, and possibly abnormal gas exchange.

Pancreas:May have diabetes, impaired pancreatic function.

immune system:There may be an autoimmune disease, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).

Gastrointestinal tract:Symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea may be due to an imbalance of intestinal bacteria, or the persistence of viruses in the gastrointestinal tract or virus storage places.

nervous system:Manifestations include impaired cognitive function (brain fog), fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory loss, tinnitus. Possible autonomic dysregulation, chronic fatigue syndrome or myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), neuroinflammation, decreased cerebral perfusion, small fiber neuropathy.

Kidney, spleen, liver:Possible organ damage.

Blood vessel:Manifestations such as fatigue may have coagulation dysfunction, deep vein thrombosis, abnormal vascular endothelial cells, small vessel disease, microembolism, pulmonary embolism, and stroke.

reproductive system:Manifestations include erectile dysfunction, increased severity and frequency of PMS, irregular menstruation, and decreased sperm count.

Initial infection (later year):Increased risk of pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrest (sudden death), heart failure, mortality, stroke, diabetes.

Choshinkan:Increased risk of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), autonomic disorders.

Superinfection (last six months):Lung, blood coagulation, cardiovascular, neurological, fatigue, increased risk of death.

Zeng Jiacheng said that studies have shown that there are currently five possible mechanisms for the sequelae of the new crown, including immune disorders, intestinal bacterial imbalances, induced autoimmunity, thrombosis, abnormal endothelial cells, and disabled nerve conduction. When the symptoms of new crown symptoms begin vary with the person and the type of symptoms. For example, neurological symptoms generally start weeks to months after infection; , paresthesia, hair loss, blurred vision, and swelling of lower extremities are more common one year after infection than two months after infection; abnormal sense of smell occurs on average 3 months after infection, and it is a small number of neurological symptoms that will improve over time.

Zeng Jiacheng said that it is a pity that only a small number of patients with new crown will recover. 85% of patients with new crown still have symptoms one year after infection, and there is currently no standard diagnosis and treatment method for new crown. The results of traditional examinations are likely to be normal. . And whether the vaccine can prevent the new crown? One study showed no effect; others showed partial protection (15-41%).
