Is your immune system weak after Covid?

 

After recovering from an acute COVID-19 infection, patients may continue to experience signs and symptoms such as weariness, body aches, coughing, sore throat, breathing difficulties, and so on.

In recovered patients, long Covid or Covid sequelae can arise. First, the most common side effects mentioned are fatigue or muscle weakness, dyspnea, joint pain and chest pain, sleep difficulties, anxiety or depression, and a decreased quality of life.

The virus causes a cytokine storm and hyper inflammation in the immune system, which leads to additional multi-organ damage and death.

Neurological issues, such as headaches, dizziness, difficulties concentrating, memory problems, diminished smell or taste, weakness, or muscle pain, affect at least one-third of patients with COVID-19.

According to study, persons who recover from COVID-19 have immunity to the virus for 3 to 5 years. Immunity can develop naturally after contracting COVID-19 or as a result of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. 

"When there is no other cause for their symptoms, those who acquire symptoms again within 3 months from their first attack of COVID-19 may have to be tested again." So you could be immune for up to three months, unless you already have immunity for that long.                                  

COVID-19 immunity can last anywhere from 3 months to 5 years for individuals who recover.

Immunity can develop naturally after contracting COVID-19 or as a result of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

All four of these components have been discovered in people who have recovered from COVID-19.

•         Antibodies are proteins that circulate in the bloodstream that identify and neutralize foreign things such as viruses.

•         Helper T cells aid in pathogen recognition, whereas killer T cells kill germs.

•         When the body needs new antibodies, B cells produce them. 

However, it is unclear exactly what this entails for the immune response and how long immunity lasts. Because the duration of immunity after contracting COVID-19 or receiving the vaccine is uncertain, physical or social distance, as well as wearing a mask, must be maintained to prevent transmission.

Can diabetes insipidus caused by drinking too much water?

Image
  Dipsogenic diabetes insipidus is induced by drinking too much fluid and is unrelated to ADH. It happens when the system which causes thirst is disrupted, causing a person to drink too much water even when no fluid is required. A person with diabetes insipidus may urinate three liters or more per day, compared to the average of one to two liters. Patients frequently need to urinate in the middle of the night. These individuals are in danger of dehydration because they are losing a lot of water in their urine. Diabetic insipidus patients have excessive thirst and drink more water. If a patient does not have  water to drink, he or she will not be able to compensate for the fluid loss, and the chemicals inside the body will become "concentrated." Dipsogenic diabetic insipidus has no known therapy. Diabetes insipidus can cause dehydration or overhydration, among other problems. Complications can be serious, even life-threatening if left untreated. The kidneys do...

Is drug allergy genetic?

Is drug allergy genetic? Drug allergies are abnormal reactions of the immune system to a medication. In many cases, the allergic reactions are mild. Severe cases can lead to shock and may be life-threatening. Though certain reactions are mostly incalculable, genetic polymorphisms of specific genes can drive patients to allergy. These genetic allergies causing victims usually show familial and ethnic clustering. This is why we regularly observe doctors questioning for a family history of any drug allergy. Is someone of your family allergic to a specific drug or type of drug? If so, be warned: should be careful what drugs you take, you may well have inherited an allergic tendency.   This does not mean that drug allergies run in families. There is no reason to say that if a parent shows an allergic reaction to a drug then the children or any one of them will develop this allergy.  So make sure that your doctor  know regarding your history of drug allergies in your...

  Vaccine Hesitancy of Covid 19  Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a personal choice. People have already started getting vaccinated. But there is still some hesitancy to vaccines.                              Vaccine Hesitancy refers to delay in acceptance for getting vaccinated or refusal of vaccines.                                                                What are the causes of covid-19 vaccine hesitancy?  Vaccine hesitancy is caused by various factors such as complacency, convenience, and confidence.   Concerns about unknown future effects, side effects, and a lack of trust are the most common reasons. Disinformation and rumours through social media make pe...
