We already have fluron and delmicron!

The woman has recently had a baby and is in good condition, with no serious symptoms and will soon be discharged home. - As experts speculate, there are probably more similar cases, but they have not yet been diagnosed - says Dr. Karolina Krupa-Kotara from the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics of the Department of Public Health in Bytom, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice.

The Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Health has just approved the possibility of a fourth booster dose for immunocompromised people and elderly geriatric patients due to a wave of Omicron infection, as long as at least four months have passed since the third dose of the vaccine was given. - It should be remembered that both the Sars-Cov-2 virus and the influenza virus infection have similar symptoms, both infect the upper respiratory tract and cause breathing problems - adds Dr. Karolina Krupa-Kotara.

So how do you distinguish flu symptoms from coronavirus infection? The only sure and reliable way is through diagnostic tests, all other assumptions will not give a definite answer. - It is therefore worth knowing all the possible symptoms of infection with a new mutation of the coronavirus so that, if we feel that we could get infected with it, contact a primary health care physician who will refer us to a diagnostic test in order to be able to isolate ourselves from contacts with people until the result is known - adds Dr. Karolina Krupa-Kotara.

This is also confirmed by the black scenario of the Omikron variant, which has high transmissibility and infectivity and is largely resistant to existing vaccine antibodies. The resulting anti-Sars-CoV-2 antibodies after vaccination and created in laboratories block the virus by interacting with its spike protein, which the virus attaches to receptors on cells. - The Omikron variant is becoming more common in Europe, but the Delta is still the dominant variant in this area. This raises further concerns among researchers, when the two variants considered to be the most dangerous met in one area, says Dr. Karolina Krupa-Kotara.

The result is a Delmikron hybrid, a combination of Delta and Omikron variants. It was Delmikron that caused the increase in the number of infections in many European countries and may have contributed to the increase in infections in recent days. Each of these diseases can result in pneumonia, fluid in the lungs, respiratory failure, inflammation of the heart muscle, brain, muscle tissue, and sepsis. - Preliminary data from around the world show that Omikron is not as dangerous as the flu or even Delta, so the combination of both variants of the coronavirus should not be so dangerous - adds Dr. Karolina Krupa-Kotara.
