隨著新冠肺炎疫情在新的一年中繼續(xù)升級(jí),部分感染者出現(xiàn)了一種奇怪的新癥狀:盜汗。
盜汗一般由流感、焦慮甚至癌癥等其他疾病導(dǎo)致。奧密克戎變異毒株開始在全球多地迅速蔓延之前,新冠肺炎患者出現(xiàn)盜汗癥狀的情況并不普遍。梅奧醫(yī)學(xué)中心將盜汗定義為反復(fù)發(fā)作的、會(huì)浸濕衣服或床單的嚴(yán)重出汗癥狀。
盜汗是將奧密克戎與其他新冠病毒變異毒株區(qū)別開來的幾種顯著癥狀之一,另外一種則是喉嚨痛。與德爾塔以及最早襲擊美國的原始新冠病毒毒株不同,奧密克戎感染者一般不會(huì)出現(xiàn)喪失嗅覺和味覺的癥狀。NBC新聞資深醫(yī)學(xué)記者約翰·托雷斯博士在《今日秀》節(jié)目中表示,盜汗是一種“非常奇怪的癥狀”。就職于英國國家醫(yī)療服務(wù)系統(tǒng)的阿米爾·汗博士也表示,應(yīng)留心盜汗癥狀,將其視為需要接受新冠病毒檢測(cè)的一種征兆。
過去的幾周里,不少人都在社交媒體上抱怨過因感染新冠病毒而出現(xiàn)的盜汗癥狀。部分推特用戶表示,這種新癥狀只會(huì)加劇人們的困惑和焦慮,擔(dān)心自己可能感染了新冠病毒。
奧密克戎引起的新癥狀是盜汗,這可真是太好了。來看看還有哪些疾病會(huì)引起盜汗:
流感
更年期
焦慮
恐慌癥
任何疾病引起的發(fā)燒
心臟病發(fā)作
恐懼仍在繼續(xù)!

As COVID-19 infections continue to escalate in the new year, some patients have been reporting a strange new symptom: night sweats.
Commonly associated with other conditions like the flu, anxiety, or even cancer, night sweats were less commonly associated with COVID before the Omicron variant began to rapidly spread worldwide. They are repeated episodes of extreme perspiration that can soak your clothes and sheets, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Night sweats are one of a few distinct symptoms that appear to separate Omicron from other COVID variants, along with a sore throat. And unlike Delta and the original COVID strain that first hit the U.S., Omicron does not seem to be associated with a loss of smell and taste. Dr John Torres, NBC News senior medical correspondent, said on the Today show that the night sweats are a “very strange symptom.” Dr. Amir Khan of the United Kingdom’s National Health Service also said to look out for night sweats as a sign to get tested for COVID-19.
In the past few weeks, many people have vented their frustration about COVID-induced night sweats on social media. Some Twitter users say that the new symptom just adds more confusion and anxiety about whether a person has COVID or not.
I love how now the new Omicron symptom is night sweats. What can cause night sweats, let's count the ways:
The Flu
Menopause
Anxiety
Panic Disorder
A fever from any number of diseases
A heart attack
The fear born continues!

Others are trying to spread awareness about the new symptom that is becoming increasingly common.
Although it is now the dominant variant in the U.S., there are still many unknowns about Omicron. Even less is known about its long-term effects. Early research on the Omicron variant from South Africa suggests that the variant may lead to less severe disease. However, the World Health Organization said last week that it is still too early to tell whether the Omicron variant will cause less serious illness because there is not enough data to see how the virus affects the people who are most at risk.
The Omicron variant has now spread worldwide and has helped spur the world to 1.5 million new cases per day, which is double the amount recorded last week. The U.S. also doubled its daily COVID case rate to more than 400,000 cases as of Monday, according to the New York Times.
