We talk about diseases that reduce the body's resistance to viral infections, including COVID-19.
Chronic lung disease, asthma
Estimated WHOAsthma affects 235 million people worldwide, most often children.During an asthma attack, less air enters the lungs, the body tries to fight coughs and shortness of breath, which weakens it.
Diabetes
An increased sugar level lowers immunity, infectious diseases can dramatically worsen the condition of a diabetic.
Cardiovascular diseases
Such problems make any infectious disease malignant, since viruses destabilize the work of the whole organism.
Hypertonic disease
The most common heart disease increases the risk of developing other pathologies, the heart works in a state of overload during an increase in pressure, and arterial vessels become damaged over time.
Oncological diseases
Patients with such diagnoses have weakened immunity due to profile therapy aimed at stopping tumor growth.For example, chemotherapy not only destroys cancer cells, but also damages healthy ones, including the immune system.
Autoimmune diseases
In this case, the body's defenses are already malfunctioning, so the virus can lead to even more significant destabilization.
