Treatment should not be delayed to avoid less risk.
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis analyzed data from hundreds of patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 and seasonal flu. And they found similar consequences. The results of their scientific work were published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. Excerpts from it were published by Lenta.ru.
Scientists have found that in both cases the consequences can be extremely dangerous and long-term. For the flu – if it was protracted.
Now is the epidemic season for influenza, and it is being diagnosed more and more often.
The scientific publication says that both types of viruses remain at risk of death for up to 18 months following infection. There are also malfunctions of many systems and organs, and repeated hospitalizations are not uncommon.
But the greatest likelihood of a fatal outcome is limited to the first 30 days.
The significant difference between infection with one and the other virus is that the causative agent of influenza is respiratory; it most strongly affects the respiratory tract.
In comparison, SARS-CoV-2 is completely non-selective; it attacks the kidneys, the brain, and the heart. He is also more aggressive.
We told you earlier: if insomnia is accompanied by another symptom, you should urgently consult a cardiologist to avoid sudden death in your sleep.
