In a study recently published in the journalAllergy“The American team of scientists from Vienna Medical University showed that there are 7 types of virus symptoms.” Corona In moderate cases, the disease leaves behind major changes in the immune system even after 10 weeks of recovery.
These results could play an important role in treating patients and in developing an effective vaccine.
Identifies 7 forms of Corona symptoms–
In the study that included 109 recovered and 98 healthy individuals in the control group, the researchers identified 7 groups of symptoms associated with moderate cases:
1) “flu-like symptoms” (with fever, chills, fatigue, and cough).
2) (“Cold like symptoms” (with rhinitis, sneezing, dry throat, and nasal congestion).
3) “Joint and muscle pain”.
4) “Inflammation of the eye and mucous membranes.”
5) “Lung problems” (with pneumonia and shortness of breath).
6) “Digestive problems” (including diarrhea, nausea, and headache).
7) “Loss of the sense of smell and taste and other symptoms”.
In the last group it was found that Loss of smell Taste predominantly affects individuals with a “young immune system”, and is measured by the number of immune cells (T lymphocytes) that have recently migrated from the thymus.
The fingerprint of COVID-19 in the blood
At the same time, scientists have proven that COVID-19 It leaves behind long detectable changes in convalescent blood, very similar to fingerprints, for example, the number of granulocytes, responsible for the immune system to fight bacterial pathogens, is much lower than normal in a group. COVID-19.
The scientists affirm that “our findings contribute to a better understanding of the disease and help us develop potential vaccines, as we now have access to promising vital signs and we can conduct better surveillance.”
The study shows that the human immune system “doubles” when defending against COVID-19 Through the combined action of immune cells and antibodies – like the defense on a modern soccer team – the cells are also able to memorize and respond to certain ‘moves’ by the virus. Now it’s about implementing these results and using them to develop vaccines COVID-19 Highly effective. “
