Doctors in the United States have recorded the first cases of “eternal” coronavirus infection. According to RIA Novosti, the medRxiv portal reports this.
As established by researchers from the University of Southern California, in the bodies of three patients suffering from leukemia, traces of the virus persisted for more than six months. We are talking about a young man, as well as a boy and a girl of preschool age.
Experts stressed that people with compromised immune systems are “very vulnerable to coronavirus infection.”
The “eternal” presence of the virus in the body increases the likelihood that it will become invulnerable to antibodies due to new mutations, doctors summarize.
