I contracted #COVID #Delta variant in early Nov, 2021 which resulted in a #cytokine storm that nearly almost killed me. Here’s how it went.
In late Oct, I took the family to Kentucky for a 5-day vaca. Upon returning in early Nov on a Friday, I was feeling fine.
By Sunday, I started to get mild symptoms (chills, headache, fever, fatigue). I chalked this up to be a cold / flu which I could sleep off and get better. So I popped a couple of Advils and Tylenols and went to sleep. Temp stayed around 100-101
offering comprehensive #cytokine profiling (including RANTES levels), to help Drs understand the pathogenesis of Childhood Inflammatory Disease Related to #COVID19 #Leronlimab pdf.reuters.com/htmlnews/htmln…
Recent reports in parts of the U.S. and Europe suggest a rare and potentially fatal inflammatory disease linked to #coronavirus is afflicting a small number of children. #Leronlimab may be able to help calm #CytokineStorm
Condition resembles a rare childhood illness called #KawasakiDisease, which has similar signs and symptoms and can lead to enlargement of blood vessels that in severe forms may cause heart damage. #Leronlimab has shown to help calm #CytokineStorm and maybe good #treatment

In this study, we have developed a fast and cost-effective method
for reverse genetics of coronaviruses by combining two approaches developed by others..As the genomes can be divided into multiple short fragments, mutations can be introduced into individual
fragments easily.

#Remdesivir begins distribution in the #USA today via #EUA.
I thought would write down some practical #tips based on my #qualitative anecdotal experience after personally treating close to 200 patients with #COVID19.
For quantitative results, wait for the papers¬—thread

“this juice works, doc!” When you hear similar expressions 1-2 days after starting #remdesivir multiple times, you start to wonder. Don't recall a similar proportion of patients smile after feeling so sick 1-2 days earlier with #COVID19. x/n? Wait for the papers.
Like #treatment for any severe infectious disease (meningitis, Gram-negative bacteremia, influenza pneumonia, etc), earlier is always better. #COVID19 is no different. #Remdesivir stops #SARS-CoV2 replication, but won’t heal the lung injury.

#Obesity and #COVIDー19 have been in the headlines recently.
The link between the two is now undeniable.
Let’s take a look at WHY they are so tightly linked molecularly, physiologically, and anatomically in this #tweetorial.

We learned quite a bit about obesity and viral infection in 2009 during the #H1N1 epidemic. Obesity led to:
🔼risk of ICU admission
🔼viral shedding
🔼recovery times
But WHY?

The story is complex, but inflammation plays a critical role.
Individuals with obesity are in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation as evidenced by altered levels of several cytokines such as TNFα, IL-6, and CRP.

Starting a series on clinical Pearls I am gathering in #COVID19 patients based on experiences of many experts
Will add as we go along
Feel free to add your own observations/experiences

Anosmia is likely the most specific #COVID19 related symptom
30% of patients have anosmia as their 1st symptom

#covidclinicalpearls /2
Around 90% of patients have fever.
50% maybe afebrile at the time of presentation
Fever tends to be very resistant to routine measures in hospitalized patients
There is no consensus that NSAIDs are to be avoided in #COVID2019 patients
