The patient, who was treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, suffered from severe lung inflammation and was placed in the Intensive Care Unit due to the patient's advanced age and condition.
After careful antiviral medical treatments and hormone therapy, the patient gradually recovered and met discharge standards to leave the hospital.
