Concerns about the corona virus related to the risk of concern other than the elderly contact the patient organisations increased significantly -…

the Social welfare and the ministry of health has today issued a general guidance to the municipality for older people on the protection. Older people in addition to the corona virus can cause serious symptoms including those of working age, who have severe basic diseases. Part of the patient organisations could do with a certainty also, the risk categories of the working-age protection.

the corona virus infection in the risk group includes, inter alia, part of the diabetes or severe heart or lung disease sufferers. In addition, the risk group includes people with cancer, including cancer care are underway, and those people whose resistance is weakened by the medication because. These include, for example rheumatic and transplant patients. In all these disorders, organ damage increase the risk markedly.

in cases of Serious illness of the lungs first in danger

in Severe coronavirus cases, virus can cause pneumonia, which in turn is the dangerous part of the basic sick people. The risk is increased, for example, in severe diabetes, if glucose level is elevated and treatment of balance bad.

If you have diabetes, which clearly is associated with additional diseases, cardiovascular diseases or kidney problems, would act in the same way as with older people so I would strive to be home, says specialist Anu Heikkil diabetes association.

Coronary heart disease is the Finnish most common cause of death. Its severity, however, varies from mild to severe. Corona virus like any other infection you load the lungs but also the heart.

When the corona virus in the sufferers develop pneumonia, then also the heart strain is. The heart and lungs is kind of a series connected system and very close making with each other.

infection in the context of persons with heart failure, this heart failure symptoms get worse. They may need in hospital care, says the chief Anna-Mari Hekkala the heart association.

the Virus is not edellenkn know it all

the Various patient organisations have contacted the corona virus is spread. For example, the breathing association, the heart association and diabetes association in daily contact, and site visits have multiplied the normal compared to that. Concerned communications has been on a daily basis. Patients have been established for chat services and information added.

arrhythmia knowledge, such as heart palpitations may a medical point of view have a mild phenomenon, but the patient may experience it serious. We will not be able to make a list, where each can be considered its own risk, and therefore, then, this situation raises fear and anxiety, said Hekkala.

Health and welfare institution, THL:n the current according to the instructions, the attending physician will assess whether a persons basic disease so hard, that he has the risk of getting serious corona virus infection. Part of the difficulty clearly, basic sick at all, despite exposure to close contacts, particularly strong exposure is now, for example, hospital work.

for Example, coronary heart diseased people of working age need to agree with your employer with the arrangements. After all, we doctors, who were ill with coronary artery disease and most likely will end up to work like everyone else, said Hekkala.

Test would bring peace of mind also long-term sick

Heikkil and Hekkala estimate that the majority of the basic ill, too ill to be the corona virus mild. Still a serious risk of illness to the patient long-lasting epidemic is of particular charging period.

Epidemic-time and uncertainty may at worst take weeks. Mild symptoms test severe basic diseases of the patients would reduce stress, assess Hekkala.

I Saw THL to determine the disease with an increased risk of serious illness risk:

Severe heart disease uncontrolled a lung disease diabetes, which is associated with organ damage, chronic liver or renal impairment resistance to a debilitating disease such as active chemotherapy in the treatment of leukemia or lymphoma (not maintenance treatment)resistance to strongly weaken the medication (for example, high-dose cortisone therapy)
