X-rays reveal ... this is how the lungs of the "Corona" patient

The new Corona virus has been linked in the minds with a "killer" disease that has claimed the lives of more than 250 people in China, but the reality of what the virus does in human lungs is still unknown to many.

Lung x-ray images of a 33-year-old sick woman showed the effect of the virus, which had spread from central China's Wuhan city, and caused great global panic after spreading to more than 20 countries.

The woman lives in Wuhan, but has traveled to Lanzhou, west of the recently affected city, and there symptoms of the disease are emerging.

The woman felt a slight fever after 5 days of coughing, which led her to visit a hospital in Lanzhou, and her time was 38.8 degrees, according to the Business Insider website.

In the hospital, doctors informed her of the new virus, guided by a severe shortage of white blood cells, which is a symptom of the infection.

First white rays appear on the lower corners of the lungs, which doctors call "tinted grinded glass", and indicate a partial fullness of the air sacs in the lung, which causes a feeling of suffocation.

In the second x-ray, which depicts the lung condition 3 days after the first, white spots appeared to increase, despite the start of treatment.

The pictures were provided by a hospital belonging to Lanzhou University and published by the "Radology" medical newspaper.

Paras Lakhani, a radiologist at Thomas Jefferson University, who looked at the x-rays, commented that these white spots indicate fluid in the alveoli.

Symptoms of the "Corona virus" differ among people with it, some of whom feel only dry throat and mild headache, while others may experience fever, cough and breathing problems, while a small percentage of patients develop pneumonia that causes swelling of the lungs and fluid secretion in them.

Corona virus mainly causes respiratory disease, and it is transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets, coughs or sneezes.

It is noteworthy that the woman is still persisting in treatment, while reports did not indicate any developments in her health yet, although doctors ruled out her infection with pneumonia.
