Her husband peter cuneo were among the 1st people in germany to contract the coronavirus back in march as they emerged from quarantine 2 weeks later they thought everything would be fine but we were wrong because even now 5 months later susanna is still suffering from the effects of the virus before she was very active and highly sporty thats all changed. As you can see mood come im very tired i can easily go to bed and fall asleep at 8 oclock that wasnt the case before and thats the main problem the tiredness its really debilitating. Shes not alone many doctors say they see patients who are struggling to fully recover after an acute Coronavirus Infection years the persons posts here were seeing patients who are dogged by Health Problems for weeks even months afterwards even though the virus is no longer present and they should actually be healthy again. Nicole has also suffers from exhaustion during her illness with coronavirus she lost her sense of taste and smell 3 months later she can still barely smell anything not even her Morning Coffee does for me its very limiting because i cant really explain it its something that really affects my quality of life. The cause could be an impairment in the all factory bold during the sars outbreak in 2002 experiments on animals showed the virus could work its way through the nerve endings in the linings of the nose and the olfactory nerve to the brains of factory system before heading on over the sign ups is. Its likely that this can also occur with kovac 19. Could be that some of these patients have actually suffered some brain damage because with patients who present only with impairments to their senses of taste and smell which is a common neurological symptom when we investigate them with imaging we can see damage to the factory bulb. The psychological stress caused by the pandemic could play a role to call haskett hope shell one day return to her old self but she says her brothers experience has scared her as a man called out that im kind of and my brother didnt have any proper symptoms and hes only started to feel really bad since he recovered he has pains in his joints his knees really hurt he constantly has the feeling that hes out of breath also artemis as yet no one knows what is actually causing such symptoms or how long they could go on for researches across the globe are working to come up with answers but itll be some time before they have them. All of course joins us from the university of good again where hes a senior physician great to have you on the show you found covered 19 could affect the kidneys early on and that can be detected detected in a urine sample whats that mean for the course of the disease. Yes indeed well we know that such group of patients are quick 90 get sicker than others so days after onset of the symptoms we be know that some need i. C. U. Care and much allergy so our idea actually was to diffuse the urine to it identify the sub group here in terms of well once the urine gets i was the chief in terms of the organ infection tells us that this patient is at risk. So i actually use this urine sample to try to identify you as im with the organ failure patient at rest to say this is a good warning sign of a serious infection are there other warning signs to yes i think there are higher if you imagine yourself being affected as a cope with 19 patient being at home canteen it is hard for your Family Doctor to check you every day for all different science of. Organ failure so if you use this you want dipstick its easy to use like a pregnancy test it makes it a lot easier for your Family Doctor to to identify your area that you are at risk. And so once you are identified the Family Doctor will take a closer look at you can transfer you to the hospital what about knowing yourself whether whether or not youre at risk before it even gets that far mean some people have mild symptoms some have not and others get really sick because it doesnt all come down to how healthy we are. Its a very good question that is really how to answer because we are still in the one face in code 19 and the data are confusing. Everywhere in the world so let me put it to affect us that i think are quite important here the 1st vector is bet like so if you are a male in your fiftys or sixtys. And if your immune system simply over x. And we dont know why some it was it was a systems over eric to become seriously ill some other factors of course are being overweight of being a smoker and that that also play a role here. And the 2nd i think even more important factor is exposed for him so the higher the virus wont you are exposed to the higher your risk is. Think of this. People being in operation potties they we had high exposure and by the way that the highest exposure extreme i have for the Health Care Workers at the Emergency Departments and i. C. U. Is being exposed to see going to europe patients so please be aware that the Health Care Workers are at the highest mix and definitely when it comes back to the patient if they take all the boxes in a show to get seriously ill what may just can you take. Well just to make sure that this is not an official recommendation by myself or your us that you have as of my personal opinion here is. If our rhythm including the ewing dipstick tells you that this patient is a crisp i would consider it to point and the 1st point is to anticoagulation yourself more aggressively to to create instrumentality irans because we know that trump in public about major can plan the setting and the 2nd point is that once you are at risk to deteriorate it was very tempting to start the antiviral medication you actually have earlier before you would get sicker briefly as far as the length of time that a patients can suffer as a possible to predict the extent of damage. We simply do not know it would not be fair to if youre clear answer here. Just dont know enough about the the long term consequences of quick 19. For sure we know. At present that this isnt which a disciplinary just a clean we need to take care of and so we course sure need all the internists a specialty is after this infection too to make sure that for example. The chronic renal failure might suffer outre this infection is detected and treated each and you physician all of the course at the university of getting and thank you very much for joining us today. Your turn to ask the questions if you havent already getting contact on how you tube channel will get out science correspondent Derek Williams to look into a topics you bring up. To People Living with hiv have an increased chance of dying from kovac 19 a number of different studies have looked at this issue and although the data is still pretty limited mostly they agree that people who are living with hiv and that are on an effective Treatment Program where the antiviral medication are not any more likely to contract or die from covert 19 than 10 people who dont have a child in the u. S. Centers for Disease Control currently lists having the immunodeficiency diseases as only may be affecting outcomes a key aspect of that though is certainly going to be whether or not hiv patients continue to get the antiviral therapies that are are keeping their disease in check the United Nations program thats responsible for Global Action on hiv has warns that in 2020 there could be up to half a 1000000 additional aids deaths in Subsaharan Africa of loan caused not by patients catching covert 19 but because its disrupting supply lines for and access to the medications that those patients need to survive that would basically wipe out all of the progress thats been made in the fight against aids over the last decade.
