Double Infection: Many variants of the corona virus are wreaking havoc all over the world. However, the first case of infection of a person with two variants of the corona virus came to light in March 2021 this year. In Belgium, a case of a 90-year-old woman being infected with two variants of the corona virus at the same time was reported. He died five days later when he was hospitalized after being infected with alpha (the first variant found in Britain) and beta (the first variant found in South Africa) variants. According to the routers, this particular case was also discussed at the annual European Congress on Clickil Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Infection with two variants of the virus at the same time is a rare case, but according to experts in a conversation with The Indian Express, it is not surprising. According to experts, it is neither impossible nor unheard of to get infected with many people in a short time.
Double infection common in HIV patients
According to VS Chauhan, former director of Delhi-based International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, if a person comes in contact with more than one infected person, then he can get infected from all. According to Chauhan, when a virus enters the body, it takes some time to grow and affect all the cells of the body. In this time itself, the virus from some other source can get the cell to enter the body. It takes some time for the body’s immunity to take effect and during this time there is every possibility of getting infected from more than one person. According to Chauhan, double infection is very common among HIV patients.

Very low chance of double infection
A person can be infected with more than one variant of the corona virus, but this is very unlikely because all the people who come in contact with any infected person are not necessarily infected. In such a situation, if a person comes in contact with more than one infected person in a short time, then the chances of him getting infected from more than one source are very less. According to Shahid Jameel, director of Ashoka University’s Trivedi School of Biosciences, the case of the Belgian woman is the first but there could be more such cases. According to Jameel, without genome analysis of the virus sample taken from the infected person, it cannot be confirmed that he has been infected with more than one variant. According to Jameel, the chances of getting infected with more than one variant at the same time are very less.

no alarm bells
There is no effect on the patient’s condition if infected with more than one variant at a time. All variants affect the health of patients equally, so it does not matter whether the virus has come from one source or more than one source. According to Chauhan, the effect of the virus will depend on the health and immunity of the infected person and also on the firepower of the virus. It will not depend on whether the virus has come from one source or more than one source. According to Jameel, the case of the Belgian woman is interesting but it does not bring any new concerns. According to Chouhan, the medicines and treatment are the same for all the variants of the virus, so what is effective against one variant is also effective for the other. The same is true for vaccines. According to Chouhan, if a mutation that escapes the immune system of the human body comes to the fore in the future, then it will definitely be a matter of concern, but there is no such thing as a matter of concern right now.
