Doctors in China were stunned after a 17-day-old baby girl recovered from the coronavirus without taking any medication.
Baby recovers in China from
coronavirus without taking medication.
The 17-day-old baby who was
the youngest patient infected with the Coronavirus has recovered from the virus
in China.
Reports have it that the
baby was born by a mother who was already infected with the disease in Wuhan.
Dailymail reports that the
newborn is the youngest patient to have recovered from the virus in China so
far.
She left the hospital on
Friday after making a full recovery on her own without the help of medication.
According to People’s
Daily, the baby was transferred to Wuhan Children’s Hospital on the same day
she was born and it was discovered that she had the virus shortly after.
The girl, known as Xiao
Xiao, had an infection in her respiratory system and minor myocardial damage,
said Dr Zeng Lingkong, director of the Department of Neonatology at the
hospital.
Because the girl’s symptoms
were not obvious, doctors decided not to give her antibiotic medication and let
her overcome the disease on her own.
Dr Zeng speaking with a
state broadcaster for CCTV said, “She did not have obvious difficulties in
breathing, did not cough or have fevers, therefore we only gave her treatment
for her myocardial condition.”
She was allowed to go home
on Friday afternoon after receiving negative results in three consecutive
nucleic acid detection tests.
Dr Zeng said the baby had
recovered fully from coronavirus as well as her heart disease.
‘She even grew bigger and
fatter here,’ Dr Zeng said.
Doctors in China have feared
the possibility that the infection could be passed from mothers to their babies
in the womb.
