    On December 30, the medical administration and medical management office of Wuhan Health Committee issued the emergency notice on the treatment of pneumonia of unknown causes According to the notice, some medical institutions in Wuhan have seen pneumonia patients of unknown causes The notice requires all medical institutions to track and count the treatment situation in time, and report to the superior timely as required At present, the expert group of the national health and Health Commission has arrived in Wuhan and is carrying out relevant testing and verification As soon as the news came out, the local people in Wuhan were panic stricken and self-conscious As if the illness came in the Korean movie "flu"? In fact, I don't think it's necessary for everyone Although we must pay enough attention to the medical environment around us, we should not be too nervous or flustered, let alone spread rumors There are three reasons 1 Just like that year, when SARS came, it was the first time that the country faced such a major epidemic, but it still won the "war" with its strong mobilization and scheduling ability and unprecedented execution So, now our country, absolutely has the ability to face all disease disasters, we need to have confidence in our country and our medical level 2 As the source of the incident, Wuhan has taken the most appropriate measures in the first time, and the local government also has the most first-class virus research institutions in the country It is only a matter of time before the virus is detected 3 "Unexplained pneumonia" is a term put forward by the Ministry of health in order to better detect and deal with SARS, human avian influenza and other pneumonia with similar performance and certain infectivity after the SARS epidemic, which does not mean that it is the same as SARS By the way, the medical knowledge of pneumonia in internal medicine refers to the inflammation of the terminal airway, alveoli and pulmonary interstitium, which can be caused by pathogenic microorganisms, physical and chemical factors, immune damage, allergies and drugs The most common is bacterial pneumonia, which is usually a great threat to the health of children and the elderly However, the information in this news appears-- "Fever, dyspnea, double lung infiltrative lesions on chest radiograph" and "infection regardless of age" can preliminarily judge that this time is not bacterial, but viral pneumonia As the name suggests, the main cause of viral pneumonia should be virus infection At present, there are known coronavirus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, measles virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus However, the diagnosis still depends on the etiological examination, virus isolation, serological examination and virus antigen and nucleic acid test results to determine the specific cause of the infection Only in this way can we treat the disease and rely on the corresponding drugs The specific reason why the pneumonia event was hotly discussed was the "unknown cause" mentioned in CCTV news, which caused the public's speculation that "the virus is a new virus, and there is no relevant treatment drug at present" Because the current treatment of viral pneumonia is different from that of bacterial infection If it is bacterial infection, antibacterial treatment is fundamental, while viral pneumonia is mainly bed rest, room air circulation, attention to isolation and disinfection, prevention of cross infection and other symptomatic treatment At the same time, give sufficient vitamins and protein, more water and a small amount of multiple soft food, intravenous infusion and inhalation as appropriate Oxygen Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed and remove the secretion of upper respiratory tract in time In principle, sensitive antibiotics should be used in the treatment of bacterial infection Then there will be the treatment of virus suppressive drugs, such as ribavirin, acyclovir, ganciclovir, oseltamivir, adenosine arabinose, amantadine, etc., which are currently on the market I believe everyone has heard about them Now the most worrying thing is that once the laboratory results show that the pneumonia infection is a special virus infection, can the existing virus inhibition treatment be effective? Can existing therapeutic drugs be covered? How effective is it? However, at present, it seems that 7 of the 27 cases in Wuhan are in critical condition, the rest are controllable, and 2 cases are expected to be discharged in the near future This also shows that the disease has been preliminarily controlled With the efforts of many domestic experts and many pharmaceutical production institutions, I believe that the recovery of the disease is only a matter of time! What we can do is to fully prepare for prevention, strengthen physical exercise, enhance physical fitness and avoid contact with pathogens That's all We believe in the country, medical treatment and science We hope that patients will recover soon Responsible editor | penicillin statement: This is the original article of Yaozhi online The opinion only represents the author, not the position of Yaozhi online You are welcome to exchange and supplement in the message area If you need to reprint, please be sure to indicate the author and source of the article.
