Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. The hospital checked and said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? What is Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever?Doctor's answer:
Hemorrhagic fever in Xinjiang, as the name suggests, is a disease that reoccurs in Xinjiang. Hemorrhagic fever is also caused by a viral infection and may be a naturally occurring infectious disease spread by ticks in Xinjiang. The symptoms primarily include fever, headache, rashes, and hypotensive shock. Once infected, it is prone to many complications, such as kidney failure, pulmonary infection, hypoglycemia, and besides hypertension, it causes significant harm to health. In terms of treatment, the earlier it is detected, the better. The treatment approach should adopt a comprehensive evaluation based on the patient's pathological and physiological changes. For early fever patients, intravenous infusion should be administered to replenish sufficient fluids and electrolytes, and adrenal cortical hormones should be used. Generally, such treatment should be effective.
