New “record”: a person was discovered, longest in world suffered Covid-19

According to American doctors from the hospital of the National Institute of Health in Betesesda, Maryland (USA), the sad record beats – a patient was found, the longer all in the world was crownavirus, its result was 335 days – broke the previous “record” Russian woman who broke the previous “record” For 318 days.

40-year-old American in the spring of 2020 appealed to the hospital with fever complaints, headache, runny nose and cough, which are not here for 11 days. Analysis on Coronavirus gave a positive result. After undergoing treatment, the condition of the woman did not improve, it began pathological processes in the lungs. For many months, the woman was discharged with improvements, they were hospitalized again.

The first three months due to the fact that after discharge, the woman temporarily disappeared the symptoms, the positive results of the analysis to coronavirus before discharge were considered a mistake, a false positive result. However, soon the viral load (the number of virus particles in the sample) has increased and the woman has again been hospitalized with deterioration.

Doctors suggested that it was possible that the woman had repeated infection and decided to check this hypothesis. To this end, they conducted a genetic analysis of the virus extracted from its samples, and compared with the samples that were taken at the beginning of its illness. Samples coincided, reports news.israelinfo.co.il.

thus confirmed the fact that the woman did not recover. Apparently, the cause of such a protracted disease became a weakened immunity – three years before that, the woman passed therapy against cancer, and it had a level of b-cells that produce antibodies. All these three years, a woman often suffered from respiratory infections.

Doctors spent the patient with treatment with Remidesivir and plasma recently loosened with high levels of antibodies. As a result, they managed to defeat the disease that launched 335 days.

Previous record, 318 days, was recorded in Russia. A 40-year-old Russian woman with a late stage of non-Khodgkin B-cell lymphoma was sick with coronavirus for 318 days.

According to one of the authors of Research Egor Basykin, the virus in the body of the patient evolved twice as quickly than it happens, he continued to multiply and save mutations, a total of almost a year in a patient. And the patient had completely absent antibodies, because due to the oncological disease, it did not have b-lymphocytes producing antibodies.

helped the patient, picking up a suitable treatment, including blood plasma recently loosened.
