Difference between asymptomatic infected patients and confirmed cases of pneumonia
An asymptomatic infected person and a confirmed case are very different. An asymptomatic infected person is one in which the pathogen has invaded the organism so that the organism can detect the pathogen. However, the organism is not damaged by the pathogen, nor does it show any clinical discomfort or clinical symptoms, and even some laboratory tests are negative. A confirmed case is actually a clinical case, since it is a clinical case, the patient is sick, sick with some clinical discomfort, clinical symptoms and manifestations, for example, a confirmed case of a new coronavirus patient, that is, he has got a new coronavirus infection infectious disease, even it can appear pneumonia, can appear systemic fever It can even develop pneumonia, systemic fever, and some damage to various organs. Therefore, there is a difference between asymptomatic and confirmed cases.
However, some asymptomatic infections are not really asymptomatic, they are just incubation periods before the disease arrives. So, it will turn into a confirmed case. So, this kind of asymptomatic infected person has to be distinguished whether it is truly asymptomatic or whether he is a true case in the latent period before he gets the disease.
