Physicians with the Beacon Center for Infectious Diseases – specialists in diagnosing and treating infections – discuss a common health care associated infection called Clostridium difficile or “C. diff.”

C. diff can be a serious infection that causes symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. It’s linked to an estimated 14,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. The infection most commonly affects people staying in a hospital or long-term health care facility and usually occurs after the use of antibiotics.

The virus that causes hepatitis C (known as HCV) spreads through contaminated blood and causes dangerous inflammation in the liver. However, about half the people who have hepatitis C don’t even know it, so they feel relatively healthy. Symptoms can take years to appear after the infection actually begins. Eventually, liver inflammation from hepatitis C does enough damage to the liver to cause the signs and symptoms described in this video.

How long does the coronavirus last inside the body

The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is the virus responsible for causing the illness COVID-19. Most people who develop COVID-19 symptoms improve without treatment in 2–6 weeksTrusted Source. However, this does not necessarily reflect how long the virus itself remains active in the body.

COVID-19 has an incubation period, meaning it can be days before a person notices symptoms. In the case of SARS-CoV-2, a person can transmit the virus 48 hoursTrusted Source before developing symptoms.

Many people experience mild symptoms, while some experience no symptoms at all. This can make it difficult to tell who has the virus.

How long the virus lasts in the body depends on the individual and the severity of the illness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise that people who test positive for COVID-19 should isolate themselves for the following amount of time:

However, the virus may remain in the body at low levels for up to 3 monthsTrusted Source after diagnosis. This may mean some people get a second positive test result even after they recover, although this does not necessarily indicate the virus is still transmissible.

As of October 2020, there is no evidence that a person with mild or moderate symptoms can transmit SARS-CoV-2 more than 10 days after the first positive test result.

How long do symptoms last?
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, health organizations advised that, for most people, symptoms would last a short amount of time. However, since then, people have reported that their symptoms last much longer than this.

A July 2020 CDC report found that 35%Trusted Source of people who had mild cases of COVID-19 were not back to their usual state of health 14–21 days after testing positive. Among those aged 18–34 years with no chronic medical conditions, one in five had not returned to their usual state of health.

This suggests that, for some people, COVID-19 symptoms last longer than original estimates, even in mild cases. By comparison, over 90% of people with influenza, or flu, recover within approximately 2 weeks of having a positive test result.

People who require hospital treatment or who experience “long COVID” may also have longer-lasting symptoms. Long COVID, or post-COVID syndrome, is a name for a collection of symptoms that some people continue to experience months after their initial illness.

The symptoms of post-COVID syndrome can includeTrusted Source, but are not limited to:

severe fatigue
trouble sleeping
shortness of breath
headaches
muscle weakness
heart palpitations
low-grade fever
trouble concentrating
memory lapses
mood changes
skin rashes
nausea or vomiting
diarrhea

Generalized anxiety disorder differs from a panic attack due to constant worries, affirms Dr. Paula Levine, Psychologist and Founding Director of the Miami Counseling Resource Center.
She explains when people are in a state of anxiety, they can’t sleep, and they’re overly medicated.
Other signs and symptoms of anxiety are: feeling nervous, irritable or on edge, having a sense of impending danger, panic, having an increased heart rate, feeling weak or tired, difficulty concentrating and having trouble sleeping, among others.

Anxiety – Causes, Symptoms and Treatments and More

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness. It might cause you to sweat, feel restless and tense, and have a rapid heartbeat. It can be a normal reaction to stress. For example, you might feel anxious when faced with a difficult problem at work, before taking a test, or before making an important decision. It can help you to cope. The anxiety may give you a boost of energy or help you focus. But for people with anxiety disorders, the fear is not temporary and can be overwhelming.
What are anxiety disorders?

Anxiety disorders are conditions in which you have anxiety that does not go away and can get worse over time. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, schoolwork, and relationships.
What are the types of anxiety disorders?

There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).People with GAD worry about ordinary issues such as health, money, work, and family. But their worries are excessive, and they have them almost every day for at least 6 months.
Panic disorder. People with panic disorder have panic attacks. These are sudden, repeated periods of intense fear when there is no danger. The attacks come on quickly and can last several minutes or more.
Phobias. People with phobias have an intense fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. Their fear may be about spiders, flying, going to crowded places, or being in social situations (known as social anxiety).

What causes anxiety disorders?

The cause of anxiety is unknown. Factors such as genetics, brain biology and chemistry, stress, and your environment may play a role.
Who is at risk for anxiety disorders?

The risk factors for the different types of anxiety disorders can vary. For example, GAD and phobias are more common in women, but social anxiety affects men and women equally. There are some general risk factors for all types of anxiety disorders, including:

Certain personality traits, such as being shy or withdrawn when you are in new situations or meeting new people
Traumatic events in early childhood or adulthood
Family history of anxiety or other mental disorders
Some physical health conditions, such as thyroid problems or arrhythmia

What are the symptoms of anxiety disorders?

The different types of anxiety disorders can have different symptoms. But they all have a combination of:

Anxious thoughts or beliefs that are hard to control. They make you feel restless and tense and interfere with your daily life. They do not go away and can get worse over time.
Physical symptoms, such as a pounding or rapid heartbeat, unexplained aches and pains, dizziness, and shortness of breath
Changes in behavior, such as avoiding everyday activities you used to do

Using caffeine, other substances, and certain medicines can make your symptoms worse.
How are anxiety disorders diagnosed?

To diagnose anxiety disorders, your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and medical history. You may also have a physical exam and lab tests to make sure that a different health problem is not the cause of your symptoms.

If you don’t have another health problem, you will get a psychological evaluation. Your provider may do it, or you may be referred to a mental health professional to get one.
What are the treatments for anxiety disorders?

The main treatments for anxiety disorders are psychotherapy (talk therapy), medicines, or both:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that is often used to treat anxiety disorders. CBT teaches you different ways of thinking and behaving. It can help you change how you react to the things that cause you to feel fear and anxiety. It may include exposure therapy. This focuses on having you confront your fears so that you will be able to do the things that you had been avoiding.
Medicines to treat anxiety disorders include anti-anxiety medicines and certain antidepressants. Some types of medicines may work better for specific types of anxiety disorders. You should work closely with your health care provider to identify which medicine is best for you. You may need to try more than one medicine before you can find the right one.
