Injury and quarantine for 18 days
Sarah was infected with Corona on November 28, 2021 for the first time and within 18 days she remained in home isolation for 18 days, during which she conducted several PCR tests, the result of which was positive first, until the last examination came with a negative result. In her first infection with Corona, Sarah explains that she suffered from symptoms such as head pain, body aches, coughing and shortness of breath. She also lost her sense of smell and taste, as it usually happens in most cases of corona with the mutant preceding Omicron.
After 20 days of recovering from the virus and a negative test result, Sarah began experiencing flu-like symptoms. Then, of course, she ruled out that her infection with Corona was the cause of these symptoms that she was experiencing. She started experiencing a feeling of tiredness and headache, similar to those of the flu. Despite her insistence first not to conduct the examination, those around her advised her to conduct a PCR examination to confirm, especially that there were several infections among her co-workers. Sarah was surprised when she took a PCR test once more that her result was positive, contrary to what was expected.
My symptoms the second time seemed different from those that appeared the first time, which made me suspect that I had the omicron mutator the second time. I had a runny nose and sneezing. The symptoms were more like a slight runny nose, and I did not lose my sense of smell And taste as it happened the first time.”
While Sarah returned to the stone for the second time, she intends to now conduct a PCR examination to ensure whether she has recovered while expressing her surprise at what happened to her, but she considers that this time
The second one was infected with an omicron mutation due to the completely different symptoms that she had.
Medically, doctors have never ruled out the possibility that a Corona patient will be infected a second or more time with the virus. But this is expected to happen 3 months or more following the first infection. As for the second infection occurring within 3 weeks, this appears to be a new and unexpected case, as explained by the Head of the Bacterial Diseases Department at Hariri Governmental Hospital, Dr. Pierre Abi Hanna. “If the second time Sarah’s PCR result showed that the CT value was elevated, it would have been possible that the infection was the same and not considered a recurrent infection. The virus sometimes takes a long time to get out of the body. But what is remarkable is that the CT value was 26 the second time. Which confirms that it is considered a second and repeated infection with the virus.”
Sarah’s case seems new and unexpected, and it is exceptional, according to what Abu Hanna confirms. But if the repeated infection had occurred with the delta mutant, her condition would have seemed even more surprising. As for the presence of an omicron, no possibility can be excluded, especially that infection with the new mutant can occur following infection with any of the previous mutant, given that the body’s immunity does not recognize the new mutant as the previous ones. But despite the fact that repeated infection can occur with omicron, Abi Hanna points out that it was expected that such cases would occur months following the first infection, and that the body would acquire a minimum level of immunity that would prevent the second infection, even with omicron. There is no denying that Sarah’s case is new and exceptional, worthy of follow-up, as she was infected with the virus once more within a few weeks. At the same time, he indicates that if she had received the vaccine previously, she would have acquired a long-term immunity that would protect her from the virus for a longer time and with more effectiveness. In all cases, it seems natural for new data to appear constantly with the new mutation, and it can cancel what was customary with the previous mutations.
