Cerebral fluid leaks from woman's nose after COVID-19 test

In Iowa, a 40-year-old woman began to leak cerebral fluid from her nose after a swab for a COVID-19 test. Writes about it Dailymail.

Health professionals often jokingly refer to the elongated cotton swabs used for many coronavirus tests as brain scrapers.

But for a woman from Iowa, the joke became too close to reality.

Soon after she went to get tested for COVID-19, the woman's nose began to drip profusely, her head began to hurt, she was so nauseous that she was already vomiting.

When her head and neck were numb and she tasted metal, the woman went to the doctor and a scan showed a hole at the base of her skull.

Спинномозговая жидкость — защитная прозрачная жидкость, окружающая головной и спинной мозг — капала из ее носа.

This is the first time doctors have reported an alarming and potentially dangerous condition caused by dangerous swabs for coronavirus testing.

But in a report on the disease, doctors at the University of Iowa noted that the condition was not caused by a smear alone. The woman had an undiagnosed skull defect, and when a tampon punctured a small hole, it became wide enough for cerebral fluid to drain.

Nearly 104 million Americans have been tested for the coronavirus since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent their first batch of coronavirus tests in February.

During this time, more than seven million people have tested positive for COVID-19. It is estimated that less than five percent of all people tested were likely to get false positives, while others were likely to get false negatives.

Когда тестовых наборов не хватало и город внезапно оказался наводненным коронавирусом, официальные лица Нью-Йорка посоветовали не проходить тестирование на COVID-19, если у кого-то нет симптомов заражения — как для сохранения наборов, так и из опасения, что люди могут просто заразиться в местах, куда они пошли сдавать анализы.

Но никто никогда не сообщал о проблемах со здоровьем в результате самого тестирования — до сих пор.

The woman, whose name is not indicated in the protocol of the disease, was to have an operation to remove a hernia in July.

By then, non-urgent and elective surgeries had resumed in the United States, but hospitals still require COVID-19 testing before surgeries to protect doctors, nurses, and the healthcare system itself from coronavirus outbreaks.

COVID-19 tests are now conducted using samples taken in one of three ways: a nasopharyngeal swab, a lower mouth (nostril) swab, or saliva collected in a test tube.

The woman had a nasopharyngeal swab, which clinicians inject into the far upper portions of the nostrils, where the nasal passage joins the throat.

Над этим карманом находятся слои мышечной и соединительной тканей, а затем — твердая кость черепа (у большинства людей).

Soon after the examination, the woman felt nausea in addition to a runny nose.

These symptoms developed until her head and neck became stiff and a metallic taste appeared in her mouth and her eyes became light sensitive.

Doctors performed a CT scan of her skull and nasopharyngeal passage. These images revealed a hole at the base of her skull, opening into the same space where the smear was taken.

A 2017 scan of the woman showed that the defect had already existed, and the cerebral fluid leaked after the smear “inflicted injury”.
