腺体肿胀是COVID-19的一种迹象吗?以下是医生的建议
这是有可能的，但你可能感觉不到。
值得注意的是，腺体肿胀并不在官方发布的COVID-19症状清单上疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)那些包括:
但问题是:美国疾病控制与预防中心还表示，这份清单“不包括所有可能的症状”。所以，如果你的腺体肿大，你可能会开始怀疑是否与COVID-19有关。专家给出的答案是:也许吧。以下是你需要知道的。
什么是腺体肿大?
当人们谈论肿胀的腺体时，他们通常指的是他们的淋巴结-小的豆状结构，是你身体免疫系统的一部分国家癌症研究所(NCI)。你有数百个淋巴结，它们遍布你的全身，包括在你的脖子、腋窝、胸部、腹部和腹股沟发现的群集。
NCI解释说，彼此相连的淋巴结会过滤流经淋巴液的物质。它们含有淋巴细胞(也就是白细胞)，可以帮助你的身体抵抗感染和疾病。
当你的身体在抵抗感染时，你的淋巴结可能会肿大——技术上称为淋巴结病——在你身体的那个部位，医学博士，Thomas Russo教授和主任传染性疾病布法罗大学的教授，告诉我们健康．“例如，如果你有呼吸道感染，你的头部和颈部的一些腺体可能会肿胀，”鲁索医生说。
那么，COVID-19会导致腺体肿大吗?
这里开始变得有些复杂:有少量的研究表明COVID-19能引起淋巴结肿大在一些患者的病毒但不是那些轻微的疾病,或在颈部淋巴结,所以通常与其他呼吸道疾病有关。
你和你的医生在体检时都感觉不到纵隔淋巴结的增大，加州奥兰治圣约瑟夫医院的肺病专家雷蒙德·卡夏里医学博士告诉我们健康．相反，任何异常通常都可以在CT扫描中发现。
所以，技术上，研究表明COVID-19可以导致腺体肿大，但可能不是你想的那样——这也适用于医生在他们自己的COVID-19患者身上看到的情况。“我没有看到COVID患者的腺体肿胀，”Casciari医生说。罗素博士和理查德·沃特金斯(Richard Watkins)都没有。沃特金斯是俄亥俄州阿克伦市的一名传染病医生，也是东北俄亥俄医科大学(Northeast Ohio Medical University)的内科教授。
如果你觉得你的腺体肿了，你应该怎么做?
尽管医生们没有见过轻度COVID-19患者的典型腺体肿胀症状，只见过病情严重的COVID-19患者的CT扫描发现的腺体肿胀症状，但如果你认为自己的淋巴结肿大，还是去检查一下吧。
“这就像COVID的许多事情一样:如果有人发现腺体肿大——不管怎样——都要进行评估，以确保没有问题，”罗素医生说。
同样重要的是，腺体肿大可能是由很多原因引起的，所有这些都应该由医生进行彻底的检查。这不仅局限于感冒和流感感染，也包括单核细胞增多症、性传播疾病、皮肤感染，类风湿性关节炎，甚至某些类型的癌症。总的来说，当肿大的淋巴结——尤其是那些已经存在了一段时间的淋巴结——“需要评估，看看发生了什么，”鲁索医生说。
