專家提醒,新冠抗病毒藥物治療應把握症狀出現5日內的黃金治療期,越早接受評估越有利於降低重症風險。

〔記者侯家瑜/台北報導〕新冠疫情仍在社區傳播,疾管署最新資料顯示,近4週呼吸道病原體檢出率中新冠占32.4%,約每3名呼吸道症狀患者就有1人感染。感染專家提醒,光靠咳嗽、喉嚨痛、發燒等症狀,很難靠「猜的」分辨病因,尤其高齡者、孕產婦及慢性病患者等重症高風險族群,更不能等到症狀惡化才就醫,應把握症狀出現5日內的黃金治療期,落實「要篩不要猜、就醫不等待」。

台灣感染症醫學會理事長張峰義指出,曾感染新冠不代表後續病況較輕或重症風險降低,根據疾管署研究顯示,再次感染者的全因性死亡風險可能增加4倍。他提醒,高風險患者若確診,抗病毒藥物應愈早使用愈好,務必把握症狀出現5日內的治療時機,以降低住院及重症風險。除了高齡及慢性病族群外,心血管疾病、肺部疾病、糖尿病控制不佳、腎功能較差、過度肥胖,以及使用免疫抑制劑、血液腫瘤等免疫功能較弱者,也都屬於需要特別留意的族群。

台灣基層糖尿病學會理事長陳宏麟表示,新冠感染可能出現發燒、咳嗽、喉嚨痛、倦怠、肌肉痛、頭痛、呼吸急促及腹瀉等症狀,與流感或其他呼吸道感染相當類似,單靠症狀很難判斷。臨床上最擔心的是民眾把新冠當成普通感冒,先自行服用成藥、在家觀察,直到出現呼吸困難才就醫,尤其慢性病患者更容易因此錯失治療時機。

他呼籲,高風險族群出現疑似症狀後,應先快篩並就近前往基層診所,由醫師進行專業評估;若首次快篩陰性但症狀仍持續,可間隔48小時後再次檢測,避免一次陰性就認定「不是新冠」。

台灣急診醫學會秘書長李智晃則指出,根據衛福部113年急診醫療統計概況,約每5名急診就醫者中,就有1人是因呼吸系統疾病就診。當新冠疫情短時間內快速升溫,勢必增加急診候診、待床及整體醫療量能壓力,因此更應落實分級醫療,讓症狀較輕的患者能在基層獲得適當評估與治療,將急診資源留給真正的急重症患者。

不過,李智晃提醒,若出現喘、胸悶、皮膚發青、無法進食、尿量減少、心跳過快達100次/分,或收縮壓低於90mmHg等警示症狀,就不能再觀察,應儘速前往急診就醫。

對於家中有長輩或慢性病患者的照顧者,台灣感染管制學會理事長陳宜君建議,家中可備妥快篩試劑,當長者出現疑似症狀時協助篩檢,避免因行動不便或就醫不易而延誤。日照中心、長照機構等群聚場所也應善用在宅醫療及分級醫療資源,提供高風險族群就地或就近的篩檢、評估與處置,落實「早篩、早診、早治」。

Open Questions

  • 未來幾週新冠疫情是否會進一步升溫?
  • 基層醫療院所的抗病毒藥物存量是否充足?

The North City Health Bureau sent personnel to conduct an inspection and found that the refrigerator fan and hand towel holder were not clean. They have been tested for sweetness and spicyness and hand examinations are being clarified.

A patient with stage 4 chronic kidney disease almost died after eating two grapefruits at one go, resulting in hyperkalemia and a heartbeat that plummeted to 40 beats per minute. Doctors warn that patients with kidney disease should avoid eating grapefruit because it is rich in potassium ions and contains furanocoumarins, which can affect drug metabolism.
