A study at the University of Cambridge revealed that patients without symptoms of Corona have a strong immune response, indicating that how quickly a person’s immune system responds after infection with the Corona virus, plays an important role in determining the severity of the disease. According to the British newspaper Daily Mail.
Researchers conducted an experiment on 207 people who tested positive for the virus over a three-month period and found that people without symptoms or mild conditions had a strong immune response shortly after infection.
The study showed that people who suffer from severe cases that required hospitalization suffer from a weak immune response, which led to a delay and weak attempts to fight the virus, as this poor response to infection is characterized by inflammation in many organs, which occurs immediately after a person is infected with the Coronavirus.
Scientists say that abnormalities in immune cells may be behind the slow response to viral infection as well as the body’s response to infections, and may contribute to severe disease as well as the “long kurna”.

Dr. Paul Lyons, lead author of the study from the Cambridge Institute for Clinical Immunology and Infectious Diseases said:CITIID): Our evidence indicates that the flight to severe coronavirus may be identified immediately after infection, or at the latest, around the time symptoms begin to appear.
He added that this result could have major implications in terms of how the disease is managed, as it indicates that we need to start treatment to stop the immune system from causing very early damage, and perhaps even anticipate the penetration of the virus into the at-risk groups that have been examined and diagnosed. As for before symptoms appear, there is no treatment for Corona
Researchers from the University of Cambridge recruited a group of people who had tested positive for the virus to find out how the immune system response affected the diagnosis of infection, and these individuals ranged from health care workers without symptoms to patients requiring ventilation.

The team analyzed blood samples taken regularly over a three-month period, compared the samples with those from 45 healthy people, and the researchers found evidence of an early and strong adaptive immune response in affected individuals whose disease was asymptomatic or mild.
It is worth noting that these people produced the immune components in greater numbers than patients infected with the more severe Corona virus, and during the first week of infection, after that, the numbers quickly returned to normal, there was no evidence in these individuals of a systemic inflammation that could lead to Multiple organ damage.
