New symptoms: doctors have reported frequent cases of atypical course of COVID-19

Doctors report new symptoms among young people with a positive result for coronavirus. Some of them did not have a traditional fever for COVID-19, but other manifestations were observed, atypical for most previously recorded cases, writes Daily voice.

The most obvious symptom of COVID-19, fever, was largely absent from people in their 20s and 30s. However, doctors across the country working in states with peak coronavirus cases have repeatedly reported that young patients are experiencing abdominal pain.

When the United States pandemic was just beginning, abdominal pain was not considered a defining symptom of the disease.

Headache, another symptom that is now being seen more frequently, was also not on the original list of symptoms reported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some young people who have recently become ill have reported suffering from “debilitating migraines.”

"Headaches are seen that are not always controlled by pain medications like acetaminophen," said Dr. Karen Landers with the Alabama Department of Public Health.

A preliminary study suggests that more than 80% of people aged 20 and younger may not have any symptoms after being infected with coronavirus.

The study was conducted by the Bruno Kessler Foundation in Trento, Italy, in collaboration with the ATS Lombardy COVID-19 task force and other initiatives.
