Well-known doctor, Tritan Kalo through a Facebook status, has attracted the attention of citizens, doctors and nurses by reminding them that they should not focus only on Covid-19 and forget about other seasonal viruses.
According to him, this pandemic has overshadowed the clinical acumen seeking and diagnosing multiple seasonal infections. Kalo, clarifies that not every symptom displayed during this period such as sore throat, temperature above 37 degrees or body rupture is necessarily Covid-19, as this period are present more than ever seasonal viruses.
"What can be hidden in the shadow of infection by Sars-Cov2 / Covid-19…. Fixation after the risk of spread and infection by Sars-Cov2, has overshadowed and blurred the clinical and epidemiological acuity of research and diagnostics of a range of infections which are numerous and accompany these hot summer months.
Temperature above 37 degrees Celsius, breakage, scratching of the throat or its pain, a slight cough, redness or itching of the eyes, abdominal pain and sometimes accompanied by vomiting or diarrhea, discharge on the skin of the body but especially of the feet of elements imitating a fungal or exanthematic infection, etc., immediately address our attention as the general public and as professionals, mainly only to the infection Sars-Cov2 / Covid-19…. We are wrong, we are over-diagnosing cases with this infection, "And we are underestimating the fact that this season has always been associated with numerous febrile infections." - writes among others Kalo.
