Most children do not have any consequences after being infected with Omicron, claims a new study. The report further said that the Omicron coronavirus variant causes a milder post-Covid syndrome than the Delta strain.
The new "VB variant" (for virulent subtype B) was first identified in 17 HIV positive individuals from the BEEHIVE project, an ongoing study which collects samples from across Europe and Uganda.
Previous research suggested a similar number were still suffering this deceptively unpleasant symptom six months after recovering from their initial illness. But the newly published findings indicate that, in a significant minority, it may endure even longer.
The bispecific antibodies can also neutralise earlier strains including Delta, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (a distant deadly relative of the current strain that emerged but disappeared quickly in 2003) and even some coronaviruses carried by bats, the report said.
The TFI device is a non-invasive piece of medical equipment designed to simultaneously measure the mucins -- proteins that hydrate the tear ducts -- and the lipid sub-layers of the eye that prevent the eyes from drying out due to evaporation.
Xerostomia occurs when the salivary glands of the body fail to produce adequate amounts of saliva to keep the mouth moist.
