Harianjogja.com, JAKARTA–Most of Covid-19 patients are people without symptoms or only mild symptoms. However, this condition cannot be taken lightly.
Many Corona Covid-19 virus patients have mild symptoms who progress to severe and require hospitalization.
Even though more than 80 percent of cases of the Corona Covid-19 virus are mild. So that medical experts are worried about an increase in hospitalizations when mild cases develop into severe.
Even more surprising, there are many hospitalization cases due to the Covid-19 corona virus from the healthier 20-40 year age group.
Even people without comorbidities can experience extreme symptoms when infected with the Corona virus. Scientists have previously warned that people who take the disease lightly usually experience severe conditions.
The following was reported by the Times of India, 4 reasons that cause mild symptoms of the Covid-19 corona virus to get worse.
1. Cytokine storms
Cytokine storms are one of the most threatening consequences of Corona Covid-19 virus infection. This condition is also the cause of the “silence” mild Ccorona virus infection growing worse.
This condition can cause autoimmune disorders that make the immune system mistakenly attack healthy cells. In the end, it results in the degradation of the vital organs and a lesser person is severely infected.
2. The oxygen level decreases
The respiratory system is the organ that is most severely affected by the Covid-19 corona virus. This condition can also cause a loss of oxygen supply to the lungs, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.
An oxygen level that falls below 90 is considered a warning sign. In fact, the patient will find it more difficult to realize the condition if the drop in low oxygen levels is not accompanied by signs of degradation, usually called hypoxia.
3. External factors
In many cases, external environmental factors also make a diagnosis of the corona virus scary. Pollution problems and cold temperatures can increase respiratory problems.
In people who suffer from chronic problems and are infected with the corona virus, the slightest problem can become a big problem. Air pollution can also cause lung damage, reduce immunity and worsen inflammation.
4. Delayed Covid-19 tests
Many people with mild coronavirus symptoms are getting worse because they are diagnosed later than normal. The delay in medical treatment made the condition worse.
