A new study in the medical journal The Lancet found that a 50-year-old patient in Wuhan died within 13 days. Since the mild symptom caused by the new strain of Corona virus causes lung damage to the last breath.A team of more than 10 experts from the China Center for Infectious Diseases Research analyzed the data on biopsy of the lungs, liver and heart of patients who died on January 27. After being diagnosed with the new strain of Corona virus 13 days ago.This man came to Wuhan City (Hubei Province) to work on January 8-12. By January 14, the initial symptoms of chills and a dry cough appeared. But he continued to work, not to the hospital. Wuhan is where the COVID-19 outbreak broke out late last year.On January 21, he went to the hospital and the doctor gave a chest X-ray and 24 hours later was confirmed to be infected with the new strain of Corona virus.Doctors used various drugs to save him. These include: anti-infection drugs alfa-2b, drugs to treat HIV / AIDS are lopinavir, ritonavir and moxifloxacin antibiotics. Purpose to prevent secondary infection. He also received steroid pain medication to treat pneumonia, severe breathing problems and hypoxemia.Patients reduce fever thanks to intensive treatment. But it became increasingly difficult to breathe and blood oxygen levels plummeted to the last day of life.His heart stopped beating after experiencing Acute Respiratory Syndrome (ARDS). ARDS occurs when fluid builds up in the alveoli, which are small, elastic air sacs in the lungs that help carry oxygen into the bloodstream and release carbon dioxide.Although the doctors tried their best, he took his last breath on January 27. The patient died within 13 days after the first mild symptoms.In addition, liver biopsy samples of patients showing moderate and damaged fatty liver status were thought to stem from the new strain of Corona virus or the side effects of the drug.The new study, published on February 18, provides information on the mechanism of the new strain of Corona virus that attacks patients' lungs. The expert group also acknowledged the analysis was limited by relying on autopsy and biopsy data, according to Fox News.The pathological characteristics of COVID-19 are very similar to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) because the two diseases are also caused by the Corona virus strain.As of Feb. 19, the new strain of Corona virus, which causes the COVID-19 epidemic, has infected more than 74,180 people and killed 2,006 people across mainland China. The number of deaths due to the new strain of Corona virus is much higher than that of SARS (774 deaths, 2002-2003) and MERS (more than 850 deaths in 2012).
