Depending on the mutation of the coronavirus, the main symptoms can also change, said Natalya Pshenichnaya, deputy director for clinical and analytical work of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor.
According to RIA Novosti, she said that with the Indian strain of the virus, pain in the abdomen and joints, nausea, loss of appetite and even hearing are more common. With reference to the data of Indian doctors, Pshenichnaya added that microthrombosis of the lower extremities (which can lead to the development of gangrene) and diarrhea are more common in patients, while fever, cough and loss of smell are less common.
“First of all, you need to understand that all the symptoms of COVID-19 are nonspecific, including the loss of smell, which occurs in 70-80% of cases. Now there is some change in the spectrum of dominant early clinical manifestations in connection with the emergence of new strains of SARS-CoV2, ”the agency quotes the expert.
