Covid-19: ‘Flurona’ isn’t real, people can get co-infection, say researchers

Some posts on social media spoke of an infection in Israel called “flurona,” which users say is a co-infection of Covid-19 and the flu.

But healthcare experts have now dismissed that, saying it’s not the same thing.

“Contractions like ‘flurona,’ I think they’re very misleading. It raises the idea that the two viruses are somehow merging into one, but that’s not the case,” says Allen, an immunologist at Yale University School of Medicine Dr. Foxman told NBC News. “Someone is infected at the same time. People are always infected at the same time.”

Other researchers agree with Dr. Foxman. Co-infections can lead to three outcomes: few or no symptoms, severe illness due to viral attack, or one infection may prevent another, explains Dr. Guy Boivin, a clinical virologist in Quebec.

The first case of “flurona” was reported in late December, in a pregnant woman who was admitted to the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikwa for delivery. Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the young woman was not vaccinated.

At the time, Dr. Nahla Abdel Wahab, a doctor at Cairo University Hospital, told Israeli media that the “flu virus” could indicate a major malfunction of the immune system, as both viruses entered the body at the same time.
