(Reporter Feng Ning correspondent Li Fengzhi) Recently, Ms. Zhang and Ms. Wang suffered from the same "disease" and went to Zhengzhou Central Hospital for treatment. Both of them are dizzy and weak, but they have no symptoms such as fever, cough, expectoration and dyspnea. However, their chest CT results startled the doctor.
Both of them showed ground glass shadow on lung CT, which was similar to that of COVID-19. The hospital immediately handled it according to the observation, and after everything was properly placed, the problem appeared again. Although the CT images are very similar, the doctors repeatedly questioned the patient’s medical history and learned that they had no contact history, never been to Wuhan, and there was no confirmed patient in the community. The symptoms and hemogram did not conform to COVID-19, which made the doctors very puzzled.
Just when everyone thought more and more wrong, the director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine found a clue. It turns out that during their stay at home, the two ladies regularly sprayed high-concentration 84 disinfectant at home every day for fear of COVID-19, and did not open the window for ventilation, thus causing allergic alveolitis. Allergic alveolitis refers to a group of diffuse interstitial granulomatous lung diseases caused by repeated inhalation of various antigenic organic dust and low molecular weight chemicals by susceptible people. Repeated attacks can cause pulmonary fibrosis and even develop into respiratory failure.
After three days of anti-allergic treatment, the chest CT was reviewed, and the images of Ms. Zhang and Ms. Wang basically returned to normal.
