PROF. DOCTOR: TWO VIRUSES CAN BE FOUND IN THE BODY AT THE SAME TIME

Turkey Medicals member and Prof. Dr. gave important information on the  subject to our reader, “Two viruses can be found in the body at the same time,” was said.

Ankara Hacettepe University Faculty Of Medicine Head Of The Department Of Pediatric Infectious Diseases Prof. Dr. said that viruses, which were very rare last year, will increase seriously this year. Prof. Dr. ” both viruses can be found in the body at the same time, one of them can make a disease, the other can only multiply in the throat; but both can not make a disease at the same time. We’ll probably have that when flu season starts. We’re going to see flu plus coronavirus cases this year,” he said. Assoc. Dr. He said flu cases would begin to appear from October 15.

Recalling very rare viruses, made assessments to DHA before the flu season. Prof. Doctor in Turkey said:

“Flu season has not started in Turkey yet, we do not have a single flu case yet. Such a case does not exist at the moment, but it is theoretically possible. The Delta variant is so common that there are still about 500 thousand active cases. Because we test those who have symptoms, we say’ 90 percent of them go more or less without symptoms’, we can’t detect them. That means,’ there are about 5 million active cases in total.’ During the period of such an intense case, we saw the results in the flu board about 1 month ago. Many viruses, which we saw very rarely last year, are on the rise this year. That is the only reason; we’re not following the mask and distance rule as much as we used to this year. Naturally, when we catch it, there may be a Coronavirus in a person’s throat that is also multiplying at that time, so you can detect both. When we take samples from cases of flu, colds, we see that in too many cases there is more than one virus. Both viruses can be present in the body at the same time, one of which can cause disease, and the other can only multiply in the throat; but neither can cause disease at the same time. The disease only happens with one virus at a time, but when you do a PCR test in a person’s throat, you can find more than one virus. In theory, maybe it’s a Coronavirus, it could be a flu virus, maybe it’s a flu, but at the same time, the coronavirus can also be found in your throat.”
