High-Risk COVID-19
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When COVID-19 occurs in people with greater vulnerability, it is referred to as high-risk COVID-19, a form in which infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus can take a more delicate course due to certain preexisting health conditions or age.
Associated factors: advanced age, chronic diseases, respiratory or cardiac problems, and other conditions that affect the body's defenses.
Warning signs: difficulty breathing, chest pressure, confusion, or rapid worsening of respiratory symptoms.
Who treats it? The infectious disease specialist and the internist, together with the general practitioner, support its evaluation and follow-up. If a person with risk factors develops respiratory symptoms that worsen, seeking care promptly is the most advisable course.
