Doctors also notice early onset of complications
Of late, doctors are noticing changes in clinical presentation of COVID-19 patients and radiological findings in young patients that have led them to analyse the variations when compared to last year. As COVID-19 cases continue to surge, health officials and doctors have been noting that a significant number of patients are now in the lower age group. They were reporting with variations in clinical presentation, early onset of complications and changes in lung findings. E. Theranirajan, Dean, Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, said clinical presentations remained the same in most patients. However, there were certain variations in radiological findings. “In some patients, the lung presentation included nodular patterns with bilateral involvement. We have seen CT scans with such variations as opposed to our earlier findings of ground glass opacities. We have taken samples for biopsy, and our teams are analysing such CT findings,” he said.More Related News
