The new respiratory coronavirus COVID-19 is particularly worrying for the 2.7 million Australians who already suffer from asthma. That's roughly  one in nine  people. Viral respiratory infections, in particular those that cause the common cold, typically trigger flareups of asthma. They are the main reason for asthma episodes in both children and adults during autumn and winter. So it's natural for asthmatics to fear they may be more at risk during the coronavirus pandemic. We do not yet know if asthma sufferers are at risk of more serious problems than others in the event of an infection, but they can do some things to reduce the impact of infection, whether catching a cold or a coronavirus infection. Good asthma control Asthma causes inflammation in the lining of the airways of the lung, and the condition is long-term for most asthma patients, adults or children. It can lead to a progressive narrowing of the alveoli, and normal lung function may no longer return. Good asthma ...

Coronavirus causes hepatitis! A woman was transferred to the emergency department at Northwell Health Hospital in New York, where her laboratory tests showed high levels of liver enzymes with a dark color of urine, then her temperature rose on the second day of her care so that doctors would then discover her infection with the new Coronavirus, according to a report of researchers from the hospital. This is the first documented case of a patient with COVID-19 who suffered acute hepatitis symptoms as the first symptom of the disease before respiratory symptoms appeared, according to the report, which was published on the website of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. According to previous data on the disease, most of the early signs of COVID-19 infection are symptoms affecting the respiratory system such as fever, shortness of breath, sore throat and cough, in addition to pneumonia that is inferred by radiographs, although disruption of liver enzymes is not an uncommon symptom of ...

Coronavirus «coronaviruses» belong to a group of viruses that infect animals, and its name is derived from its crown-like or aura-like appearance, as it contains bulbs of bulbs that emerge from its surface and give it a distinctive look. COVID-19 disease was caused by the new coronavirus, SARS-Cove-2. Coronavirus infection is in one of two ways: either an infection in the lungs causes some cases that people call colds or an infection in the intestine that causes diarrhea. COVID-19 disease begins in the lungs, as is a common "cold" that is also caused by coronaviruses but then causes immune system sabotage which can lead to death or long-term lung damage. Genetically, the SARS-Cove-2 virus is very similar to other coronaviruses that affect the human respiratory system, such as the Coronavirus associated with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-Cove), and the Coronavirus associated with the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-Cove virus). However, subtle genetic diff...
