Patients recovering from a corona infection should not be concerned about acquiring immunity against the virus. An American study suggests that relapse risk in some people affected by Kovid-19. The main reason is the decrease in the level of anti-corona antibodies.
A study by the Yale University School of Medicine published in ‘BMG Case Reports’ states that when the levels of antibodies to the SARS-Cov-2 virus are reduced, the risk of re-infection increases. If the infection is severe the first time, the symptoms may be mild the second time around.
Researchers cited a 40-year-old man who was hospitalized four months ago for coronavirus infection. Prior to that, in April 2020, he was severely infected. In addition to obesity, diseases such as diabetes and thyroid disease have also been reported, which can increase the risk of corona infection.
Researchers reported that the man fell ill in April due to Kovid-19. After this, he was tested four times a day for three months. He was found to be infection-free in every investigation. However, in August 2020, the corona virus caught him once again. At this time little symptoms emerge and are different, because some antibodies made during the last infection still remain in the body.
