Article Synopsis
- Fulminant onset COVID-19 refers to the rapid development of organ dysfunction, such as respiratory failure or shock, within 4 days of symptom onset, and has not been extensively studied.
- In a study of 2,016 COVID-19 patients in South India, 32.4% experienced fulminant onset, with significant predictors including age over 60, hypertension, and immune suppression.
- Patients with fulminant onset had a higher risk of mortality and required more organ support within 30 days, highlighting the need for this variant to be recognized in COVID-19 treatment and management.
