A research study published recently in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine revealed that fever, cough, and shortness of breath are known symptoms of Coronavirus, but other warning signs can include poor blood sugar control and gastrointestinal complaints..
According to a report by the American “Washington Post” newspaper, researchers analyzed nearly 12,000 visits by adult patients to emergency departments in five hospitals in New York City, and found Corona virus in 57.5% of patients who went to hospital due to weakness, fall, or a change of mental state. . 55.5% of the arrivals were due to blood sugar out of control, and 51.4% of the patients whose main complaint was a gastrointestinal problem..
Patients 65 and over tended to have atypical complaints, such as diarrhea, fatigue, and weakness. Patients with dehydration, altered mental state, falls, and high blood sugar were more likely to die in the study..
The study author Christopher Clifford of the Icahn College of Medicine confirmed the new findings can help hospitals provide better care and protection for family members and people who work with the elderly to better recognize the potential warning signs of coronavirus infection.
