The temperature reading depends on which part of the body is being measured. The typical daytime temperatures among healthy adults are as follows: Temperature in the rectum (rectal), vagina, or in the ear (tympanic) is about 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) [20] [medical citation needed] Temperature in the mouth (oral) is about 36.8 °C (98.2 °F) [12]
On the other hand, a "normal" temperature may be a fever, if it is unusually high for that person; for example, medically frail elderly people have a decreased ability to generate body heat, so a "normal" temperature of 37.3 °C (99.1 °F) may represent a clinically significant fever.
The symptoms of COVID‑19 can vary but often include fever, [7] fatigue, cough, breathing difficulties, loss of smell, and loss of taste. [8] [9] [10] Symptoms may begin one to fourteen days after exposure to the virus. At least a third of people who are infected do not develop noticeable symptoms.
Adult onset of Kawasaki disease is rare. [50] The presentation differs between adults and children: in particular, it seems that adults more often have cervical lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, and arthralgia. [32] [50] Some children, especially young infants, [51] have atypical presentations without the classic set of symptoms. [48]
At 11:36 p.m., a triage nurse asked him about his symptoms, and he reported feeling "abdominal pain, dizziness, nausea and headache (new onset)". [28] The nurse recorded a fever of 100.1 °F (37.8 °C), but did not inquire as to his travel history as this was not triage protocol at the time. [28]
However, taking a vitamin C supplement on a regular basis did reduce the average duration of the illness by 8% in adults and 14% in children, and also reduced the severity of colds. [119] Vitamin C taken on a regular basis reduced the duration of severe symptoms but had no effect on the duration of mild symptoms. [120]
Hepatitis A, adults > 50 years old Viral Unvaccinated ≈1.8% [17]: 278 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Viral Unvaccinated & Treated with unspecific treatments: 0.5-2% Depends largely on the age group of the person, earlier strains of COVID-19 had higher CFR of around 2%. [53] [54] [55] Lassa fever: Viral Treated ≈1%
For most adults, normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100–140 millimeters mercury (mmHg) systolic and 60–90 mmHg diastolic. [6] [7] For most adults, high blood pressure is present if the resting blood pressure is persistently at or above 130/80 or 140/90 mmHg. [5] [6] [7] Different numbers apply to children. [14]
