ABSTRACT
In order to avoid the risk of COVID-19 among our clinic staffs, remote medical care using tablet-type devices was conducted in our fever outpatient clinic. In about 5 months, there were 87 patients with COVID-19 diagnosed by PCR test. Among them, 24 patients (15 men and 9 women, average age 36.2 years) were treated with Kampo medicine. Four of 24 patients required hospitalization. All patients, including those hospitalized cases, improved their symptoms during the observation period. We believe that Kampo medicine is effective in the early treatment of COVID-19. In addition, we consider that remote medical care using tablet-type devices is one of the useful methods in the treatment of highly contagious infectious diseases.
ABSTRACT
Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (NCP) is a class B infectious disease, which is prevented and controlled according to class A infectious diseases. Recently, children′s NCP cases have gradually increased, and children′s fever outpatient department has become the first strategic pass to stop the epidemic. Strengthening the management of the fever diagnosis process is very important for early detection of suspected children, early isolation, early treatment and prevention of cross-infection. This article proposes prevention and control strategies for fever diagnosis, optimizes processes, prevents cross-infection, health protection and disinfection of medical staff, based on the relevant diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control programs of the National Health and Health Commission and on the diagnosis and treatment experience of experts in various provinces and cities. The present guidance summarizes current strategies on pre-diagnosis; triage, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of 2019-nCoV infection in common fever, suspected and confirmed children, which provide practical suggestions on strengthening the management processes of children′s fever in outpatient department during the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic period.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the disease spectrum and the epidemiologic characteristics of fever patients,providing effective and precise medical service for them.METHODS The disease spectrum and the epidemiologic characteristics of 9376 cases of fever or intestinal disease patients from Oct 2007 to Mar 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS Among those patients with fever,there were 57.99% patients with respiratory infection,followed by 18.60% cases with gastroenteritis,12.74% cases with infection at other sites and 4.59% cases with tonsillitis.The fist priority was given to the patients with severe syndromes and acute onset.CONCLUSIONS Fever cases usually have complicated disease history,with an easy-to-change character of disease status. This study will provide some clues to improve our future medical service for fever patients.
