Most of these patients are home self-test antigen positive, and then come to the hospital. At present, there are three or four patients in the respiratory ward. They are infected with the new crown after suffering from underlying disease.”Usually fever is more than three days, we recommend a chest CT, some patients have pneumonia performance, severe patients recommend hospitalization.
Why are people repeatedly infected?
Liu Jianbo, chief physician of the respiratory department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told reporters: “At present 'two yang' cases are more common, there are also 'three yang'. The mechanism of such repeated COVID-19 infection is complex, and it is speculated that it is mainly due to the fact that some people have not established an effective immune barrier after infection, or the protective antibody is not maintained for a long time, but the specific mechanism needs further research.”
