In severe form of the disease Chinese coronavirus attacks the hemoglobin in red blood cells, making them incapable of transporting oxygen to cells, think Italian scientists from the University of Verona.
In such situations, artificial respiration is useless. Scientists point out that the level of hemoglobin significantly decreased in patients with more severe form of the disease compared to those who have coronavirus infection was easier or asymptomatic, writes MigNews with reference to Hematology, Transfusion and Cell Therapy.
Scientists have found that the progressive decline in hemoglobin concentration may reflect the progression of clinical deterioration. The difference between patients in serious condition and those who have the disease proceeded easily made up -7,1 grams per liter.
New data can change clinical guidelines for the treatment of infected, scientists say.
Previously doctors of the Federal medical and biological center named after Burnazyan conducted a pilot treatment of patients with coronavirus in the chamber.
