Excerpts
With the ongoing spread of COVID-19, it’s no surprise that new symptoms are emerging from the illness, which doctors and officials have been rushing to
defend against while attempting to fully understand.
Kawasaki disease-like symptoms in children
A dangerous inflammation of the heart and other organs has been detected in a handful of kids, reported “
Today.”
“The way this is affecting the heart is completely different than what we usually see in Kawasaki disease," said Dr. Jane Burns, director of the Kawasaki Disease Research Center at the University of California, San Diego. "This is new because this is primarily the heart muscle that is failing.”
Foot sores
One strange side effect of coronavirus could be foot sores, according to a team of Spanish physicians.
The researchers say that the marks are "similar to chickenpox or measles."
While the so-called "COVID toe" symptoms have mainly appeared in children and adolescent with COVID-19, it has also been detected in some adult patients.
'Fizzing'
Some COVID-19 patients have warned of a peculiar symptom
referred to as "fizzing."
The side effect — a buzzing sensation felt throughout the body
One user, @miafia, described the "electric feeling on my skin" that she felt from her first day of COVID-19 symptoms.
Dr. Daniel Griffin, who estimates that he’s seen about 50 coronavirus patients daily since the illness gripped New York, says he’s heard mention of the reaction.
“Clearly it’s been identified, but we’re just not sure yet how widespread it is,” Griffin, who is chief of infectious disease at ProHealth Care Associates, told New York Post..
Loss of smell
"In Germany it is reported that more than 2 in 3 confirmed cases have anosmia,” they wrote. “In South Korea, where testing has been more widespread, 30% of patients testing positive have had anosmia as their major presenting symptom in otherwise mild cases.”
Loss of taste
In addition to loss of smell, COVID-19 patients have reported loss of taste.
"What is most unusual about this new finding is that the loss of smell or taste was the only presenting symptom in a group of patients under the age of 40 who ultimately tested positive for the COVID-19 virus," Levitin wrote in an email to USA TODAY.
Pink eye
This week it was revealed that coronavirus can spread to the eyes.
On March 24, the American Academy of Ophthalmology shared an alert warning that COVID-19 may cause conjunctivitis, or pink eye, in about 1-3% of infected people, reported
TODAY.
