بریده‌ها و براده‌ها

امروز مدیر کل سلامت وزارت بهداشت فرانسه اعلام کرد،   مطمئن شدند که یکی از #علایمی که برای #تشخیص #مبتلایان به کرونا جدی گرفته نمی شد، تقریبا یک #علامت_قطعی ابتلا به این ویروس هستش.

🔴 این #علامت شامل از دست دادن ناگهانی #حس_بویایی و #حس_چشایی بدون گرفتگی بینی و بدون آبریزش بینی میباشد.

ایشون اعلام کردند که این علایم اکثرا در #بیماران_جوان دیده شده که حالت #ضعیف تر بیماری رو دارند. 

🔴بسیاری از اساتید در ایران هم علامت مشابه رو هنگام همه‌گیری کروناویروس در ایران گزارش کردند.

Statement from ENT UK and BRS – Friday 20th March
Fifth Sense were sent the following statement by Prof Claire Hopkins, President of the British Rhinological Society, and Prof Nirmal Kumar, President of ENT UK on Friday 20th March, which has also been sent to Public Health England.
There is new evidence for the loss of smell as a symptom of COVID-19 infection. We are circulating the following intelligence to Public Health England with regards to anosmia….details can be read below:

Post-viral anosmia is one of the leading causes of loss of sense of smell in adults, accounting for up to 40% cases of anosmia. Viruses that give rise to the common cold are well known to cause post-infectious loss, and over 200 different viruses are known to cause upper respiratory tract infections. Previously described coronaviruses are thought to account for 10-15% cases. It is therefore perhaps no surprise that the novel COVID-19 virus would also cause anosmia in infected patients.
There is already good evidence from South Korea, China and Italy that significant numbers of patients with proven COVID-19 infection have developed anosmia/hyposmia. In Germany it is reported that more than 2 in 3 confirmed cases have anosmia. In South Korea, where testing has been more widespread, 30% of patients testing positive have had anosmia as their major presenting symptom in otherwise mild cases.
In addition, there have been a rapidly growing number of reports of a significant increase in the number of patients presenting with anosmia in the absence of other symptoms – this has been widely shared on medical discussion boards by surgeons from all regions managing a high incidence of cases. Iran has reported a sudden increase in cases of isolated anosmia, and many colleagues from the US, France and Northern Italy have the same experience. I have personally seen four patients this week, all under 40, and otherwise asymptomatic except for the recent onset of anosmia – I usually see roughly no more than one a month. I think these patients may be some of the hitherto hidden carriers that have facilitated the rapid spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, these patients do not meet current criteria for testing or self-isolation.
While there is a chance the apparent increase in incidence could merely reflect the attention COVID-19 has attracted in the media, and that such cases may be caused by typical rhinovirus and coronavirus strains, it could potentially be used as a screening tool to help identify otherwise asymptomatic patients, who could then be better instructed on self-isolation.
Given the potential for COVID-19 to present with anosmia, and the reports that corticosteroid use may increase the severity of infection, we would advise against use of oral steroids in the treatment of new onset anosmia during the pandemic, particularly if it is unrelated to head trauma or nasal pathology (such as nasal polyps).
Yours sincerely,
Prof Claire Hopkins, Prof Nirmal Kumar
