Coronavirus disease 2019 is an infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Many symptomatic patients have influenza-like symptoms such as fever, respiratory symptoms (cough, sore throat, and nasal discharge), headache, and malaise. In some cases, oxygen is required within a week of onset, and in more severe cases, the patient is admitted to the intensive care unit after around 10 days of onset. In the COVIREGI-JP registry of hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019, patients with renal dysfunction, liver disease, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes tended to be more severely ill after hospitalization than patients without comorbidities. It has also become clear that symptoms can persist even after the acute phase has passed.
2019冠状病毒病是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2引起的一种感染。许多有症状的患者有流感样症状,如发热、呼吸道症状(咳嗽、咽痛和流涕)、头痛和不适。在某些情况下,发病一周内需要吸氧,在更严重的情况下,患者在发病约10天后被收入重症监护病房。在2019冠状病毒病住院患者的COVIREGI-JP登记中,肾功能不全、肝病、肥胖、高脂血症、高血压和糖尿病患者住院后往往比无合并症患者病情更严重。也已经明确,即使急性期过后症状仍可能持续。
