Causes, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Complications of Covid 19




Causes of Corona Virus (COVID-19)
Corona virus infection or COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus, which is a group of viruses that infect the respiratory system. In most cases, coronaviruses only cause mild to moderate respiratory infections, such as flu. However, this virus can also cause severe respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

It is suspected that the Corona virus was initially transmitted from animals to humans. However, it was later discovered that the Corona virus was also transmitted from human to human.

A person can get COVID-19 through a variety of ways, namely:

Accidentally inhaling saliva splashes (droplets) that come out when people with COVID-19 cough or sneeze
Hold the mouth or nose without washing hands first after touching an object affected by saliva splashes of a COVID-19 sufferer
Close contact with people with COVID-19, such as touching or shaking hands
Corona virus can infect anyone, but the effect will be more dangerous or even fatal if it occurs in elderly people, pregnant women, people who have certain diseases, smokers, or people whose immune systems are weak.

Corona Virus Diagnosis (COVID-19)
To determine whether the patient is infected with the Corona virus, the doctor will ask about the symptoms experienced by the patient. The doctor will also ask if the patient is traveling or living in an area that has a case of Corona virus infection before symptoms appear.

To confirm the diagnosis of COVID-19, the doctor will carry out the following follow-up examinations:

Rapid test as a filter
A throat swab test to examine sputum samples (PCR test)
Chest radiograph to detect infiltrates or fluid in the lungs

Provide fever and pain relievers that are safe and in accordance with the patient's condition
Encourage sufferers of COVID-19 to do independent isolation and adequate rest
