If the body temperature is abnormal, is it a new type of pneumonia?

Novel pneumonia generally refers to the infection of the new coronavirus. When a patient has symptoms of abnormal body temperature, it may be due to a variety of reasons, not necessarily caused by the new coronavirus infection.

1. It is not a case of new coronavirus infection

1. Influenza: After the influenza virus invades the human body, it will cause the body to produce an inflammatory reaction, which can cause the symptoms of fever, which can be manifested as abnormal body temperature;

2. Acute upper respiratory tract infection: it is usually a disease caused by viral infections such as rhinovirus, and there will also be abnormal body temperature in the early stage of the disease;

3. Bronchitis: When bacteria or viruses enter the body, they will stimulate the bronchial mucosa, and then cause local congestion and edema, which can also show the above conditions;

4. Pulmonary tuberculosis: It is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which mainly invades lung tissue, trachea, bronchi and pleura, and the clinical manifestations are mainly characterized by low-grade fever, cough, sputum production, hemoptysis, etc., and such phenomena may also occur.

2. The situation of novel coronavirus infection

If you have recently been exposed to a person who has been diagnosed with the new coronavirus, you may be infected and develop the disease, because the new coronavirus produces many metabolites during replication, and these substances affect the thermoregulatory center, causing abnormal increases or decreases in body temperature.

If the body temperature is abnormal, is it a new type of pneumonia?

It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time, and then follow the doctor's instructions for targeted treatment after clarifying the specific cause. You should also take protective measures at ordinary times, wear a mask when you go out, and avoid goingabortionVolume-dense places.
