Abnormal Coagulation parameters are associated with poor prognosis in patients with novel #coronavirus #pneumonia

aledopress

In the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus infection in Wuhan, China, significantly abnormal coagulation parameters in severe novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) cases were a concern.. Conventional coagulation results and outcomes of consecutive 183 patients with confirmed NCP in Tongji hospital were retrospectively analysed. Results The overall mortality was 11.5%, the non‐survivors revealed significantly higher D‐dimer… Continue reading Abnormal Coagulation parameters are associated with poor prognosis in patients with novel #coronavirus #pneumonia

..Of 138 hospitalized patients with NCIP, the median age was 56 years (interquartile range, 42-68; range, 22-92 years) and 75 (54.3%) were men. Hospital-associated transmission was suspected as the presumed mechanism of infection for affected health professionals (40 [29%]) and hospitalized patients (17 [12.3%]). Common symptoms included fever (136 [98.6%]), fatigue (96 [69.6%]), and dry… Continue reading Clinical Characteristics of 138 Hospitalized Patients With 2019 Novel #Coronavirus–Infected Pneumonia in Wuhan, China

Homologous recombination within the spike glycoprotein of the newly identified #coronavirus may boost cross‐species transmission from snake to human

The current outbreak of viral pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, China, was caused by a novel coronavirus designated 2019‐nCoV by the World Health Organization, as determined by sequencing the viral RNA genome. Many patients were potentially exposed to wildlife animals at the Huanan seafood wholesale market, where poultry, snake, bats, and other farm animals… Continue reading Homologous recombination within the spike glycoprotein of the newly identified #coronavirus may boost cross‐species transmission from snake to human
