Dr. Alexander Syriakov, an oncologist, announced that American experts have recorded the possibility of a cancer patient “permanently” infected with the emerging coronavirus. Why is that?
The specialist notes in an interview with Radio “Sputnik”, that experts at the University of Southern California have analyzed what the media calls “permanent” or “eternal” infection with the emerging coronavirus, and published the results of their study on the medRxiv website.
He says, experts discovered in the bodies of three patients with leukemia “the multiplication of SARS-CoV-2 virus over a period of 162 days after the first positive test confirming their infection with this virus. Doctors believed that” Covid-19 “in immunocompromised patients, could lead to They accumulate mutations and even the emergence of new strains of the virus, including resistance to antibodies.

The doctor indicates that people with cancer are vulnerable to any pathological infection. He says, “Cancer patients suffer from weak immunity. Their resistance to viruses, fungi and bacteria decreases. And when this virus is present in their bodies, it multiplies without resistance, and it can stay in it for a very long time, and the immune system does not recognize it, so it does not eliminate it. That is, there is a coexistence of small and large bodies.” This is what American doctors announced, after they noticed the survival of the new coronavirus in the bodies of cancer patients. This indicates that their immune system cannot respond to the required level to SARS-CoV-2.
He adds, “The treatment of leukemia patients includes chemotherapy and concomitant therapy, which aims to correct immune and infectious complications. Therefore, treatment includes the use of anti-viral, antifungal and bacterial drugs. The elimination of the coronavirus depends on the success of antibacterial and cancer treatment, or will it remain in His blood lasted for a long time, causing the symptoms of “Covid-19” always to appear.
The specialist notes that a definitive answer cannot be given currently on the question of the possibility of the emerging coronavirus infection becoming “eternal”.
He says, “We cannot say for life or not. We’re“ communicating ”with“ Covid-19 ”for the second year, but we do not have results for a long follow-up of the patients’s condition. The immune system of these patients, if we overcome the leukemia that they suffer from, they will cure and completely destroy the viruses and bacteria that accompanied them during their treatment of leukemia. “
