Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 in non-epidemic areas: report of 57 cases
To investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in non-endemic areas.
Methods
2
From January 2020
the Nanjing Public Health Medical Center began to treat confirmed patients. Retrospective analysis was carried out in 57 patients with identified novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia and having been discharged for the epidemiological characteristics
clinical signs and symptoms
laboratory test results
and CT images.
Results
2
The 57 patients were at an age ranging from 5 to 97 years (median 37 years)
and 29 males (50.9%) and 28 females (49.1%). Among them
35 cases had clear contact with the epidemic area Wuhan
and 16 were clustered cases. The average incubation period was 7.4 d for the disease. In them
54 cases occurred locally
23 patients had fever as the first symptom
and 13 patients had normal temperature. Other main first symptoms included dry cough (14 cases
24.6%) and body aches and fatigue (5 cases
8.8%). The patients with decreased peripheral white blood cell count accounted for 26.3%
those with reduced lymphatic or eosinophils count for 47.4%
those with increased average platelet volume for 24.7%
elevated serum ALT or AST levels for 15.8%
raised CKMB for 5.3%
and those with decreased blood potassium for 40.4%. All patients had lung illness and were positive to nucleic acid test
and 66.7% of them got both lung involved. Of the 57 patients
26.3% were mild and 73.7% were ordinary. Their average length of hospital stay was 10.1 d
and they had an average course of 15.6 d. All of them were treated with interferon αb1 combined with acetylcysteine
47 cases were combined with kriging
and 18 cases with abidol. All the 57 cases were improved and discharged.
Conclusion
2
All these cases in Najing are almost imported from the epidemic area. The clinical classification is mainly ordinary type. Low fever
dry cough
sore throat and systemic soreness
decreased lymphocytes
ground glass shadow in CT images
and positive to nucleic acids are the main clinical features of the disease.
