The first case of florona (Flu + Coronavirus) detected in Israel: Here’s all you need to know about symptoms and severity

In the upcoming new development, “Florona” or flu + coronavirus was found in a case in Israel. According to reports, since influenza virus and SARS-Cov-2 enter the human body at the same time, it is said that this is a major collapse of a person’s immunity.

The report said that the first case was a pregnant woman who was sent to the hospital to give birth. According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the young woman was not vaccinated against the two viruses.

This is due to the increase in Omicron and Delta variant cases. But it is not a new variant. What is being studied is the simultaneous occurrence of influenza and coronavirus. According to Israeli doctors, flu cases have surged in the past few weeks. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), “they may be infected with both diseases at the same time”. A statement on the WHO website reads: “The most effective way to prevent hospitalization and severe illnesses from Covid-19 and influenza is to get both vaccines at the same time.”

According to mayoclinic.org, the viruses that cause Covid-19 and influenza spread in similar ways. They can be spread between people in close contact (within six feet or two meters). The virus is spread by respiratory droplets or aerosols released by talking, sneezing or coughing. These droplets may fall into the mouth or nose of someone nearby or be inhaled. If a person touches a surface with one of these viruses and then touches his or her mouth, nose, or eyes, these viruses can also spread. Dr. Shuchin Bajaj, founder and director of Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals, mentioned that the “severity” is more because it can spread more quickly.

“Both of these viruses can cause serious damage to the body, which can also cause other diseases. That’s why, this is a problem,” Dr. Bajaj told indianexpress.com.

According to mayoclinic.org, an outbreak of Covid-19 and flu can cause serious complications. These can be pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, organ failure, heart attack, heart or brain inflammation, stroke, and even death. Although flu symptoms may appear between three to four days, it takes two to fourteen days for coronavirus symptoms to appear. Although the symptoms of both include cough and cold, fever, and runny nose, according to Dr. P Venkat of the Department of Internal Medicine at Artemis Hospital, the only difference was discovered when the sample was sent for testing.

“For influenza, we perform PCR tests in which we test the RNA of the virus (or ribonucleic acid, which is essential to any form of life). For these two viruses, different PCR tests were performed. The genotypes of the two viruses is different. It can only be distinguished by laboratory testing,” commented Dr. Venkat.
