The case study is part of the larger Rutgers research that was done on 1000 patients admitted to hospital after being corona infected. These patients were admitted to the hospital between March and May 2020 and then discharged.
Blood clot
A team of researchers from ‘Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School’, based in New Jersey, America, has developed a possible blood clot in people’s arms due to coronavirus. The case has been informed. This discovery has been published in a journal called Viruses. Through this, it helps to understand better how the inflammation caused by COVID-19 can be caused by blood clot. Also, how can it be treated.
This case study is part of the larger Rutgers research that was done on 1000 patients admitted to hospital after being corona infected. These patients were admitted to the hospital between March and May 2020 and then discharged. However, due to COVID, there have been reports of ‘Deep Vein Thrombosis’ (DVT) i.e. blood clot in the legs. But this is the first study in which an 85-year-old elderly person has a blood clot due to corona.
Elderly was suffering from corona infection and blood clot
Payal Parikh, an assistant professor at ‘Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School’, said the elderly patient complained to his doctor of swelling in his left arm. After this, he was admitted to the hospital for further treatment. Here, along with an elderly patient Corona getting infected, he was also found suffering from blood clot in the arm. Parikh has done this study with the director of ‘Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine’ and Professor Martin Blesser of ‘Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School’.
Healthy and active people do not have blood clot
Payal Parikh said that during the hospitalization, the oxygen level of the elderly patient did not decrease. In the hospital, he was treated for a blood clot in his arm. Often, blood clot is caused by inflammation caused by stability. He said that blood clot is not quick in healthy and active people. Most of the cases of blood clot are seen in the feet. Only 10 percent of blood clot cases are seen in the arms and 9 percent of them can be treated. Parikh said that it is a matter of concern that 30 per cent of these patients were those who had blood clots up to their lungs, which was fatal.
