[Look at China News, June 3, 2023](Look at the comprehensive report by Chinese reporter Li Xiaokui) Recently, an article about “experts say it cannot be ruled outEryangThe news that there will be “three yangs in the future” has aroused great concern among the people. The academic journal “Natural Medicine” also released a related research reminder earlier that repeated infectionWuhan pneumonia(new crown)VirusCauses damage to vital organ systems.
The Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission released a weekly epidemic report for the 20th week of 2023 on May 25, showing that from May 15 to 21BeijingThe city reported 25,544 cases of 14 kinds of legal infectious diseases, and 1 death. The number of reported cases of notifiable infectious diseases in Beijing this week has risen again compared with last week. Respiratory tract infectious diseases are the main reported diseases, accounting for 96.5% of the reported cases.
The top five diseases with the highest number of reported cases were Wuhan pneumonia virus infection, other infectious diarrheal diseases, influenza, tuberculosis and viral hepatitis.
So far, the number of cases reported in Beijing has been at the top of the list for 4 consecutive weeks. From the 17th to the 20th week, the number of notifiable infectious diseases reported in the city was 6438, 10508, 18081, and 25544. The number of reported cases in the 20th week was nearly four times that of the 17th week.
As for whether there will be repeated infections after the “two positives”, Luan Rongsheng, a professor of epidemiology at the West China School of Public Health, Sichuan University, said that according to the existing monitoring data, the incidence of Wuhan pneumonia is only 1% to 2%, and most of them are initial infections. , only a small number of people are secondary infections, the “two positive” rate is actually very low. However, Luan Rongsheng also said that it cannot be ruled out that repeated subsequent infections such as “two yang” and “three yang” can not be ruled out.
So, what harm does multiple infection with Wuhan pneumonia virus do to the body?
According to a related study published in the academic journal “Nature Medicine” in November 2022, the risk of multiple infections includes increased risk of all-cause death and hospitalization; increased risk of new coronary pneumonia and chronic fatigue; increased risk of heart disease and coagulation disorders; Increased risk of gastrointestinal, renal disease; increased risk of pulmonary sequelae.
Relevant researchers also reminded that “accumulated over a long period of time, each infection brings the patient closer and closer to the edge of exhaustion, which is why avoiding a second or third infection is important for people to continue to maintain health.”
Wang Guiqiang, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Peking University First Hospital, said that according to research data, repeated infection with the new coronavirus may have a certain impact on severe high-risk groups, including aggravating the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes.
Hu Yang, deputy director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, also said that after Wuhan pneumonia infection, the patient’s white blood cells and neutrophils will decrease, which in itself will lead to low immunity of the body, which can sometimes be felt by the body , Sometimes I can’t feel it, but not feeling it doesn’t mean there is no effect. This is also the reason why many people have repeated throat discomfort during this period. The low immunity after the new crown infection will actually cause many sequelae.
In addition, experts also reminded that patients with severe pneumonia in the previous infection, if the sequelae of symptoms are not completely cured, there is still a high probability of re-infection after this re-infection, and the inflammation of the lungs is developing even if It can improve, but it may also leave sequelae of fibrosis. This situation has a greater impact on lung function. Any life-threatening disease affects survival time by reducing lung function.
