One study shows that gastrointestinal symptoms can sometimes be the only signs of a corona infection.

Now German researchers are expressing themselves.

  • A new study from Canada has new findings on possible signs of

    corona infection

    .

  • Gastrointestinal complaints

    are apparently the only symptoms of many Corona * infected people

  • Researchers

    from

    Germany

    are now commenting on the

    Corona

    study.

Update from Saturday, November 21, 2020, 9:50 a.m

.: According to a study from Canada, every sixth

corona

patient

is said to

suffer exclusively from gastrointestinal complaints.

In addition, these

symptoms are

often associated with severe disease.

A

German team,

consisting of gastroenterologists and

virologists

, has now

examined

the infection process

more closely

in an

intestinal model

.

The

researchers used

specially grown small intestines from embryonic stem cells

for the

investigation

.

Professor Jan Münch from the Institute for Molecular Virology at the University Hospital Ulm explains how the coronavirus

can dock

in the

intestine

: This only works if a special receptor (ACE2) and a certain protease (TMPRSS2) are present in the tissue.

In biochemistry, certain proteins are called receptors.

These special proteins are said to have consistently been found in healthy

intestines

and particularly frequently in the duodenum.

Corona with gastrointestinal complaints?

Researchers from Germany with new findings

A

Covid 19 infection can also cause

the loss of specialized

intestinal cells

, which can ultimately lead to the symptoms of

diarrhea

and

nausea

.

Given the question of how this process can be prevented, which came

researchers

to the conclusion that the

Ebola

-Medikament

Remdesivir

should show a good action.

According to

the authors of the research

, the drug should

block

the reproduction of

SARS-CoV-2

.

As merkur.de * reports, the

WHO

(World Health Organization)

advises

against the use of remdesivir.

Study from South Korea: amount of viral corona RNA was the same in all patients

Update from Thursday, November 19, 2020, 6.49 a.m.:

Many

corona patients

have only very

minor or inconspicuous symptoms

.

Some do not even realize they are infected and believe that they have seasonal flu or gastrointestinal infections.

That can be fatal.

Because just because you

don't notice

the

corona disease

doesn't have to be less contagious.

As a

new study

from South Korea shows, the amount of viral RNA in patients with few or unusual symptoms is the same as in patients with severe

symptoms

.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) contains the genetic information of the

virus

, comparable to DNA in humans.

The medical portal aerztezeitung.de reported on the study.

The

RNA

was taken from the

corona patients

by throat swabs and sputum samples.

The researchers make it clear, however, that the results are not conclusive evidence of a similar risk of infection between patients with few and many symptoms.

The detection of viral RNA should not be equated with the

presence of

infectious

viruses

.

Many corona patients have only very minor or inconspicuous symptoms.

Some do not even notice that they are infected and believe that they have seasonal flu or gastrointestinal infection.

That can be fatal.

Corona infection: gastrointestinal complaints often occur in sick people

First report from Wednesday, November 18, 2020, at 9:01 a.m

.: Kassel - We now know that a

corona infection

cannot necessarily only

cause symptoms

similar to the flu.

Because even if most

Covid-19

patients suffer from flu-like symptoms, the virus can not only spread in the respiratory tract, but also in other organs.

The

gastrointestinal tract

is often

affected.

Corona disease: gastrointestinal symptoms can be the only signs

As researchers from

Canada have

now found out, gastrointestinal complaints occur more frequently in corona patients than initially assumed.

Early reports from the early days of the

pandemic

reported corresponding

symptoms

in up to 50 percent of infected patients.

However, these signs were only noticed as a side

effect of

a

Covid 19 disease

.

The fact that nausea,

abdominal pain

and diarrhea can now also appear as the only signs of a

corona

disease is surprising.

The Canadian scientists from the

University of Alberta came

to

this conclusion

after a new study.

Corona: Research group has evaluated 36 studies

A research group led by the physician Mitchell Wilson evaluated a total of 36 studies that recorded the symptoms of

corona

patients.

The scientists also used some methods to examine the

gastrointestinal tract

.

The symptoms of an infection with the #Coronavirus can be very different.

However, because the disease is very mild in most cases, it is important that we adhere to the AHA formula in order not to unknowingly infect others.

The result shows that about 18 percent of all infected people had

gastrointestinal complaints

.

In the case of 16 percent of the people examined, these

symptoms were

the only signs of the

coronavirus

.

This would mean that at least one in six corona patients only suffers from gastrointestinal complaints and has no other complaints.

Study: 18 percent of all corona infected people had gastrointestinal complaints

In addition, the researchers from the University of Alberta found that there are apparently some typical indications that indicate a

coronavirus

infection when examinations of the abdominal cavity

are carried out

using

computed tomography

: For example, some

corona

patients show inflammation of the thin and thin areas Colon, as well as air in the intestinal wall and even

intestinal perforations

.

Even if these

symptoms are

rather rare, they could point to patients with a severe course of

Covid-19

: "When we see these things, we don't necessarily know that a patient has Covid-19.

Because there are various possible causes.

One of these possible causes, however, is infection with the

virus,

”said physician and radiologist Mitchell Wilson.

Gastrointestinal symptoms?

According to researchers, a corona infection could be the reason

Wilson

goes on to explain

that the

SARS-CoV-2

pathogens infect the cells of the intestine and can then cause visible changes in the gastrointestinal tract.

Such

symptoms

could also

mean

an illness from the

coronavirus

.

The study results were published in the journal "Abdominal Radiology".

According to the doctor, people who

suffer from

diarrhea,

abdominal pain

or vomiting should definitely

think about

a possible

corona infection

.

Wilson also warns that compliance with

hygiene rules is

particularly important in the current situation.
