After examination, he was diagnosed with rare Pneumocystis yrowii pneumonia.

Zhang He came to Shanghai to apply for a job a month ago. During this period, he had a dry cough but did not have a fever, so he did not pay attention to it. On April 15, he was sent to hospital due to sudden breathing difficulties. The hospital's emergency team responded quickly, admitted him to the emergency intensive care unit and provided assisted breathing. Further examination confirmed that Zhang He's condition was severe with Pneumocystis yrowii pneumonia.
