You know the longest in the world
How long is the COVID-19 infection record?
The answer is 14 months!
Turkish 56-year-old man Muzaf Kayasan
After being infected with the new crown virus in November 2020
Farewell to normal life once and for all
Since the COVID-19 test results have been positive
And so he opened
Up to 14 months of COVID-19 isolation treatment path
I thought I would be like most patients
It will soon be time to recover
But I didn't expect that
Muzaf was passing through it over and over again
After isolation treatment and nucleic acid testing
So he stayed in the hospital for 9 months
Self-isolated at home for 5 months
A total of 78 nucleic acid tests were received during this period
All are positive
For this matter
Muzaf has always been puzzled
His wife, who had lived with him for 10 days, was not infected
The younger son, who lived together for a week, was also not infected
Muzaf said helplessly: "I should have recovered, but I still have the residue of the new crown virus in my body." This is my only explanation for a positive test result. ”
For this case
The doctor guessed
Muzaf had suffered from leukemia before
This caused his immune system to be very weak
Now you have to take medicine
to restore the function of his immune system
But it's a long-term process
Now his body
Not enough to completely eliminate covid-19
The test result is positive
Muzzafa said the coronavirus had ruined his life. Today, he is left alone at home every day, meeting friends and family through the window. "I can't reach the people I love and I can't work to make money. Even due to my condition, I was unable to get vaccinated. My life is not anything wrong, but it is still very difficult. ”
According to local media reports
Muzaf seems to be at the moment
The person with the longest known persistent positivity
Broke the 72-year-old man in The UK
David Smith continued to be infected for more than 290 days
Recorded 42 positive COVID-19 tests
In June 2021, it was reported that Smith was the person who had been infected the longest up to the time, and that he was finally completely cured after receiving Regeneron's cocktail therapy.
It is worth noting that, like Muzaf, Smith is also a leukemia patient. Due to chemotherapy, he has low levels of virus-neutralizing antibodies, which is also characteristic of most patients with persistent COVID-19 infection. According to the report, this part of the patients have either been treated for leukemia or because of a genetic condition that causes defects in the body's antibody-producing cells.
