– On the 11th (local time), Italian media reported that an 86-year-old man infected with Corona 19 had three fingers died and amputated.
Finger necrosis is known to be caused by a’cytokine storm’.
Cytokine storm is a phenomenon in which the immune substance cytokine is secreted excessively and attacks normal cells.
It is pointed out as one of the causes of worsening the condition of people infected with Corona 19.
The old man did not have fever and cough, which are common symptoms of Corona 19, but his fingers began to turn black and he visited a hospital and was diagnosed with Corona 19.
Earlier in February, a 54-year-old man living in California, USA, had two fingers amputated due to a muscle injury due to the aftereffect of Corona 19.
