Covid-19 an 'Incidental Finding' in Most Hospitalised Patients, Queries on Boosters Up as Cases See Uptick
News 18As Covid-19 cases continue to register a spike across India, doctors are noticing “mostly mild” cases not requiring hospitalisation. As per doctors dealing with Covid-19 patients in multiple states, the majority of the patients are being treated symptomatically and Covid-19 has mostly been an “incidental finding” when patients are being admitted for other complaints. Dr Sumit Ray, medical director and critical care head at Delhi-based Holy Family Hospital, told News18.com that “people coming to us with serious illnesses have Covid-19 as an incidental finding but it is not Covid-19 which is bringing them to hospitals in the majority of the cases”. Similarly, Dr Arjun Khanna, head of department of pulmonary medicine, said most Covid-19 patients under his assistance are “doing very well on home therapy, and no specific treatment is being given”. “One patient required oxygen therapy whereas one was earlier on the ventilator but now he is recovering well,” Ray said, adding that this year, there were more patients for influenza, including H1N1 and H3N2.
