Again after a gap of 4 months, she fell ill with cough and high grade fever. On testing she was positive for Influenza A and Covid.
The noteworthy aspect of the case is that despite previous infection, one dose of vaccine and good antibodies the patient developed a moderately severe Covid pneumonia requiring oxygen, said Sheetu.
Her antibodies were 120, which is also a marker of old Covid infection. Moreover she has received her first jab of vaccine 15 days earlier. She developed Covid second time and this was a reason of concern as she was vaccinated 15 days back.
