Now after Corona, Floraona: What is Flora infection? How dangerous is this compared to Corona? Know all about it

A new type of case related to Corona has come to light in Israel. Here a double infection of Kovid-19 and influenza has been found in a pregnant woman. The disease has been named ‘Florona’. This has increased the concern of scientists amidst the growing cases of Omicron.

Let us know, what is florona disease?

According to the information received so far, there is no new strain of corona like Flora Delta or Omicron. Both the corona virus and the influenza virus attack the patient suffering from florona simultaneously. This can make the infection more dangerous. This is the first time a case of Florna has been reported since the beginning of the epidemic.

How dangerous is florona for us?

While corona virus infects our respiratory system, influenza virus infection causes serious diseases like pneumonia and myocarditis. They can even lead to the death of patients in the future.

According to the Israeli Ministry of Health and the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the infection of florona can spread rapidly. In the last one week, Israeli hospitals have treated about 1,849 influenza patients. Due to the wave of Omicron, the cases of corona in the country are doubling every day. According to experts, the Omicron wave in Israel will peak in the next three weeks.

What are the symptoms of Florona?

According to the data so far, a number of symptoms can be seen simultaneously in a person sick with florona. This includes pneumonia, myocarditis and other respiratory problems. These problems can prove to be fatal if not treated at the right time.

role of immunity against florona

Talking to Al-Watan newspaper, Dr. Nahla Abdel Wahabi of Cairo University Hospital told that Floraona can infect each person differently. The reason for this is the immunity of the people. According to him, people’s heart muscles can become inflamed due to poor immunity, as it is not common for two serious viruses to attack simultaneously. Research is being done on what other harm we can do from Floraona.

Israeli Health Ministry’s opinion on Florna

At present, the Israeli Ministry of Health has recommended to the government that individuals older than six months of age should be given an influenza vaccine that is safe even with the corona vaccine dose. If the officials are to be believed, there may be more such cases of Florna in the country, which have not been identified yet.
