Information diverges on the network that under the guise of coronavirus infection, another disease is hidden - chemical pneumonite, respectively, people need to be treated for poisoning. We decided to check whether the term “chemical pneumonite” is actually and whether this disease can be disguised as Covid-19.

Messages that chemical pneumonite is taken for Covid-19. messengers And Blogs. Some refer to statement There is a certain Vyacheslav Borovsky, called a psychiatrist on the network: “What was with me has nothing to do with any infectious process. I had chemical poisoning. I as a doctor ascertain this. ” He writes that "he used drugs of Soviet development, universal antidotes, for example" unitiol ", which remove from the body and neutralize almost all known poisons, even fighting poisonous substances." Other users Offer Treat the disease with inhalations with soda and mineral water. Popular blogger and actress Maria Shukshina Reference Even to the words of Academician Chuchalin: “This was stated by Academician Chuchalalin a year and a half ago. And the point of application of these poisons is really a respiratory system. And a person really has a violation of respiratory function. ” Arguments The fact that patients in red zones have no coronavirus infection, but chemical pneumonitis was also used by bloggers invited by the chief physician of the Filatov Hospital Valery Vecherko on an excursion after the publication "Letters of doctors".

It is worth noting that in most cases the story of chemical pneumonitis is accompanied by various conspiracy theories, which we and our colleagues-factory co-chief have previously dismantled. Users Reportthat chemical pneumonitis occurs due to Khimtreilovthat coronavirus never Not allocated in its pure form in the laboratory, as well as the supposedly inventor of the PCR saidwhich prohibits "use this test to diagnose infectious diseases."

Chemical pneumonitis, or chemical pneumonia, is real existing The disease characterized by irritation (and not by infection) that occurs during aspiration, that is, inhalation of toxic for lungs. The most common cause of chemical pneumonitis is to enter the lungs of vomiting, since caustic gastric juice is one of the most common aspirated toxic substances. The inhalation of vomiting masses can occur in a person who has not fully recovered after anesthesia or in a state of alcohol or narcotic intoxication. Chemical pneumonite Calls Specific shortness of breath (display), a cough that can be accompanied by pink penital sputum, fever, wheezing and whistling breathing. The main diagnostic method, as in the case of coronavirus infection, is considered to be the chest radiography. In particular, the most informative computed tomography with contrast.

In severe cases, IVL may be required, also antibiotics are often prescribed for the prevention of secondary bacterial infection. IN protocols The treatment of chemical pneumonitis does not mention inhalations with soda and mineral water. About the danger of inhalations with soda already They wrote our ColleaguesTrue, then they were advised to prevent infection with coronaviral infection. Vyacheslav Borovsky advises the drug "Unitiol" for treatment. This is real existing The medicine used as an antidote for poisoning with compounds of arsenic, mercury, bismuth, antimony and chromium, as well as with delirious psychosis, as part of a complex therapy of chronic alcoholism and in some other diseases, among which chemical pneumonitis does not occur. Borovsky exaggerates the universality of the drug somewhat, claiming that it neutralizes even fighting poisonous substances. “Unitiol” would be useless in poisoning, for example, a “novice” used, according to the data investigators, against Alexei Navalny, or as an antidote for another famous poisonous substance - Zarina, used in terrorist attacks Aum Sinrikyo and during the war in Syria in the city Guta.

At the same time, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Grigoryevich Chuchalin actually He said About chemical Pneumonite In numerous interview. True, his words have significantly distorted his words. Chuchalin spoke about the common and recognized by many doctors Opinions that artificial ventilation of the lungs in coronavirus Maybe Bring more harmthan good. Back in April 2020, he expressed The fears that the unjustified use of Ivl can lead to chemical pneumonitis. Instead, he proposed Helox - a mixture of oxygen and helium, noting that Landau and Kapits Received Over the years, the Nobel Prize precisely studying Helia. It is worth noting that a mixture of oxygen and helium began to be used in many leading coronavirus centers, in particular in the GKB No. 52 and the Institute. Sklifosovsky. She Continues Show good results and with lung damage due to infection with new coronavirus options. Thus, to refer to the opinion of the academician to prove the theory that the Covid-19 is actually chemical pneumonitis is fundamentally incorrect.

Coronavirus infection is recognized and WHO, And Central Committee, And Ministry of Health Russia as a separate diagnosis caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, and not by chemicals sprayed from airplanes or when processing urban infrastructure facilities, as users say.

Thus, the disease of chemical pneumonitis exists in fact, its symptoms are well described in the medical literature, and clear protocols have been developed for its treatment. However, symptoms and therapy in chemical pneumonitis and coronavirus infection are different.
