COVID-19 and Marfan/VEDS/LDS: Your Questions Answered
29:51-33:04
Can we have the next slide? So the next couple of slides is just go over some important points on how to treat yourself if you do get some kind of flu or cold or virus such as COVID so that you can take care of yourself at home. So Enid, can you go over some of these briefly?
以降のスライドでは、インフルエンザや風邪、COVID-19のようなウイルス性の感染症にかかった場合に、家庭で対応する場合の重要なポイントについて見ていきたいと思います。Enid先生お願いします。
Yeah, the, the first thing that I would say is that and you should pay particular attention to a new symptom. Many patients who have Marfan syndrome or related disorders or don't have what we call a chronic cough or they have a chronic shortness of breath or reduced exercise capacity and if those symptoms are virtually unchanged and they simply represent kind of an issue that you've had for a very long period of time, that's not something that should alarm you in the context of COVID.
まず重要なのは、これまでに経験のない症状に注意するということです。マルファン関連疾患の多くの方、いわゆる慢性咳のない方、常に息切れの症状がある方、運動能力が落ちている方については、こうした症状に変化がなく、長期にわたり症状が継続している場合には、新型コロナウイルスという観点では問題ないでしょう。
COVID should be attached to new symptom or an escalation in a symptom that you, you chronically have. So when it comes to cough or cold medications, I would say that if this is a new complaint meaning a new sore throat, a new fever, a new incident of chest congestion or runny nose, etc. that, that should alert your primary care physician because these respiratory viruses like COVID and others, they often start with an upper respiratory infection or relatively mild symptoms and I'm sure you've heard about this symptom of not being able to taste or not being able to smell as well as, as you did before.
COVID-19では新たな症状が出たり、以前からある慢性的な症状が悪化する可能性があります。喉の痛みや発熱、胸の閉塞感、止まらない鼻水などの症状があれば、かかりつけ医に伝えるべきです。新型コロナウイルスのような呼吸器関連のウイルスは上気道炎や比較的軽度の症状から始まるのが一般的です。すでにご存知だと思いますが、味覚や嗅覚が機能しなくなるという症状もあります。
So it can seem rather subtle and that's one of the reasons to know whether you fall into a high-risk group because even if you're having what we would call a subtle symptom, you need to notify your physicians.
目立たない症状かもしれませんが、ハイリスクとなるかどうかの判断材料となりますので、そうした些細な症状でも担当医に伝える必要があります。
