A new study by a researcher at the Molecular Microbiology Laboratory of Feevale University in Brazil shows that there is a case of epidemic death in Brazil after two infections with a variant of New Crown pneumonia.
According to the study, a 39-year-old male patient in Campo Bom, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, who had diabetes and chronic cardiovascular disease, was first infected with the Brazilian variant of P1 virus on November 30, 2020, and recovered without any illness; however, on March 11, 2021, he was infected by a family member and died for the second time. On March 11, 2021, she was infected with another variant of the virus, P2, for the second time by a family member.
The patient was then intubated on March 19, but eventually died of the disease.
A team of researchers from the Molecular Microbiology Laboratory of the University of Fivale in Brazil compared the P1 and P2 strains of the virus in his body and found that both viruses had the E484K variant on the spike protein, which allowed the human cells to “open the door” to invasion.
The study points out that cases of secondary infection are not common, let alone repeated infection with two variants of the virus; usually patients have minimal or no symptoms of the disease at the time of secondary infection, but this case in Brazil deteriorated rapidly and may be the first of its kind in the world.
The research team at the University of Fivale in Brazil has completed the study and uploaded it to the journal’s Research Square page recently (20th), which will be the first case in the world if the study passes the review.
