[Reporter Wu Liangyi/Taipei Report]The Wuhan pneumonia (COVID-19) outbreak in China caused a large number of people to return to Taiwan; a Taiwanese businessman was diagnosed following returning from China, and the X-ray photo showed “big white lung” “. Zhuang Renxiang, spokesman of the Central Epidemic Command Center, said that the hospital has already asked the hospital to send the patient’s specimen, and it has just been delivered. If the amount of virus is enough, the virus can be sequenced.
A 60-year-old Taiwanese businessman who returned to Taiwan felt unwell for 3 days and was tested positive by a quick test. However, he did not report immediately. It took 4 or 5 days. The weather was not getting better, so I came to see a doctor to get medicine. The X-ray photos showed that the “big white lung” had already developed severe pneumonia. Now antiviral drugs can’t stop the progress. It is critically ill and intubated. It is also recommended to do virus sequencing See which mutant strain is infected.
Zhuang Renxiang pointed out that the hospital has already asked the hospital to send the patient’s specimen and it has been delivered. The case entered the country in late December. At that time, there was no PCR test for Chinese inbound passengers, but now the specimen will be re-tested following receiving the specimen. , If the Ct value is lower than 26 (higher virus load), virus sequencing can be done.
Zhuang Renxiang said that since January 1 this year, my country has begun to implement the “Strengthened Quarantine Project for Chinese Airline Passengers”, and conducts saliva PCR screening for Chinese immigrants. Those who are positive and have a Ct value lower than 26 will be sequenced for the virus. If a doctor evaluates a case and needs to collect a test, he can contact the CDC to send the sample.
