The results of a medical study conducted by a government hospital in Beijing revealed the case of a fifty-year-old man who died as a result of an emerging coronavirus, that he suffered severe damage to the lungs and liver, symptoms that occur in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
It is worth noting that the SARS virus when it spread in 2002 and 2003 led to the death of about 800 people in more than 20 countries, while the MERS outbreak in 2012 resulted in the death of about 860 people.
The researchers conducted a study on samples from the body of the 50-year-old man who contracted the disease on January 14th, then died about two weeks after his injuries, and after taking samples from his body it was found that he had damaged the alveoli in his lungs and his liver was exposed to an infection that may be caused by either the Corona virus Al-Mustajid, or drugs used to treat it, are corticosteroid medications, and it was also found that he had damaged but less severe heart tissue, indicating that the infection “may not weaken the heart directly”.
And another study conducted at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland warned that corticosteroid drugs, which are anti-inflammatory used in the treatment of corona and warned by the World Health Organization, can lead to complications such as diabetes, bone tissue death and delayed virus removal.
Five Chinese scientists recently warned against the use of these drugs in new corona patients, except in advanced cases, indicating that giving patients high doses may lead to infection with other types of infection.
