The symptoms of omikron infection are atypical, and therefore the spread of the virus is more insidious. In terms of clinical manifestations, omikron infections are similar to upper respiratory tract infections caused by other viruses, and lack specific manifestations, which makes clinical differential diagnosis more difficult, and the spread of the virus has become more insidious.
Infected cases are mainly mild and common type, and the symptoms are relatively mild. The main clinical manifestations include cough, sore throat, fever, etc. Some patients have symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, fatigue and headache. In addition, patients had atypical imaging changes. Overall, the proportion of patients with severe disease is also not very high.
For the new coronavirus mutant strain Omicron, both treatment and prevention and control should be handled cautiously, and once a suspected case occurs, it should be reported promptly and treated symptomatically after identifying the cause of the disease.
Tip: The “new coronavirus pneumonia” mentioned in this article was renamed to “new coronavirus infection” on December 26, 2022 by the National Health Commission.
