HIV-infected woman infected with corona for 216 days: Surprising researchers

Probably the first case of more than 12 mutations of the corona

The virus changed form 32 times in South African women: 19 times completely changed the symptoms of the virus

Durban: HIV in South Africa One infected woman remained infected with the corona for 216 days and the corona virus changed its form 32 times during this period, of which 19 were mutations in which the symptoms of the virus completely changed.

The case is revealed in a research paper published in the pre-printed edition of the medical journal MedRX-4. Researchers at Durban-based KwaZulu-Natal University say 13 mutation spikes were found in the protein in the body of the 36-year-old woman. This is the same protein that protects the corona virus against various immune attacks.

Chief researcher Tulio de Oliveira says that if more such cases are encountered, AIV could be detected. Suspicions of being the source of a new form of the transition coronavirus will be strengthened.

Most HIV infections are caused by a weakened immune system. Patients are more likely to become infected with the corona sooner, but if such a person becomes infected with the corona, the effects of the virus on them last longer, as in the case of this South African woman.

According to a report published by the Los Angeles Times, there has never been a case in which a single person has mutated more than a dozen times with the corona virus. This case would not have come out if a study had not been conducted.

This woman had extremely dull symptoms of corona. However, HIV The researchers selected 300 individuals, including this woman, to study the immune system's response to the entry of corona into an infected person's body. Which is why researchers have found this woman.
