On the other hand, some people may become infected without feeling very light symptoms, or even without symptoms.
6 types
What we mentioned above is complete symptoms, but a recent study has found that these symptoms come in groups, and accordingly there are 6 types of Covid-19 disease caused by infection with the Coronavirus.
The study was led by researchers from King's College London, and published on the King's College London website.
The researchers found that each type of infection with Covid-19 is characterized by a specific set of symptoms, and that each type differed in the severity of the disease and the need to provide support to the patient's respiratory system during the recovery phase.
The six types of Covid-19 disease are:
- The first type: influenza-like, but without flu-like with no fever, and symptoms of headache, loss of sense of smell, muscle pain, cough, sore throat, and chest pain.
- The second type: flu-like, but with fever and loss of appetite (flu-like with fever) and symptoms of headache, loss of sense of smell, cough, sore throat and hoarseness.
- The third type: gastrointestinal where the patient suffers from diarrhea, with symptoms of headache, loss of sense of smell, loss of appetite, sore throat, chest pain and without coughing.
- The fourth type: severe level one with fatigue, headache symptoms, loss of smell, cough, fever, hoarseness and chest pain.
- Fifth type: severe level two, confusion, fatigue, headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, coughing, fever, hoarseness, sore throat, chest pain and muscle pain.
- Type VI: severe level three abdominal and respiratory, in which a person develops shortness of breath, diarrhea, severe abdominal pain with a headache, loss of smell, loss of appetite, coughing, fever, hoarseness, pain in the throat, chest pain and fatigue Muscle confusion and pain.
The researchers also found that the possibility of the patient in each of the six groups needing respiratory support, such as oxygen or placing on a ventilator, is the following:
- The first type: 1.5%.
- The second type: 4.4%.
- The third type: 3.3%.
- The fourth type: 8.6%.
- Fifth type: 9.9%.
- The sixth type: 19.8%.
In general, the fourth, fifth and sixth types affect older and weaker people, and they were more likely to gain weight and have pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or lung disease compared to people of the first, second and third types.
