一位皮肤科医师罹患新冠肺炎的经历

Experience of a dermatologist with COVID-19

没想到自己会成为这次疫情中最先感染新冠肺炎(Coronavirus disease 2019,COVID-19)的医务人员之一。自2020年1月22日以来的7天时间里,我经历了突发寒战、高热、极度乏力、头痛、腹泻、咳嗽、气喘、呼吸困难;经历了不安、绝望到淡定面对疾病的转变。当时因无法及时收治入院,自行居家隔离,自行购药治疗,后体温退至正常,症状逐渐消失。我回顾了自己居家隔离的经过,根据切身体会,总结了一些有关COVID-19防治的经验,包括:不能刻意隐瞒病史、为何选择居家隔离、何时寻求医疗指导和住院治疗、关于居家隔离期间的抗病毒治疗方案选择、感染期间的营养和休息、关于传播途径和群体防疫策略的思考等,供同行们借鉴也欢迎批评指正。

I did not expect to be one of the first group of medical staff infected with the virus in the Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) epidemic. In the 7 days since January 22, 2020, I have experienced sudden chills, high fever, extreme fatigue, headache, diarrhea, cough, asthma, and difficulty breathing;I have experienced changes from uneasy and despair to calmness. Because during the initial outbreak, a large number of patients could not be admitted to the hospital in time. I can only choose home quarantine and purchasing medicines for treatment. Later, my body temperature returned to normal level and those symptoms gradually disappeared. I have described the process during home quarantine, and based on my own experience, I summarized some experiences in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, which including:patients cannot deliberately conceal medical history, why choose home quarantine, when to seek medical guidance and hospitalization, how to select antiviral treatment options, nutrition and rest during home quarantine, thinking about transmission routes and herd strategies. I hope these experiences can provide references for colleagues and welcome any criticism.
