Post Covid Complications: A new disease is coming out rapidly in patients cured by corona infection. Experts say that Varicella Zoster Virus, called Shingles in common language, is engulfing post-coved patients. Especially diabetes, cancer or immunity patients are getting more vulnerable to it.

What is Varisella Joster Virus?

This is the same virus that causes chickenpox in childhood. After infection, this virus remains hidden in the body for a long time. When the body’s immunity is weak, it again active and causes shingles. Doctors say that after recovering from Korona, the immunity of many patients becomes weak. In such a situation, this virus becomes active and causes symptoms like high fever, headache, muscle pain and red rash on the skin.

Why is Corona recover attacking patients?

During the Kovid-19 infection and its treatment, patients have a great impact on the immune system.

Taking medicines and steroids for a long time reduces immunity.

Immunity is already weak in patients like diabetes or cancer.

This is the reason that after recovering from corona, the body loses the ability to fight viruses and bacteria.

Taking advantage of this weakness, the Varisella Joster virus becomes active again and causes serious symptoms.

Symptoms

Patients suffering from shingles usually persist for 5–7 days high fever and pain. There are some major symptoms with it-

Red rash and blisters on the skin

Rapid headache and body pain

Burning and itching

Fatigue and weakness

Sometimes chest and back rashes

Experts say that if the patients ignore these symptoms, then the rash can spread the form of serious infection.

Case study

First case – A middle -aged person, who was cured by Corona, suddenly high fever and rash came out in the whole body. After investigation, it was found that this is Varisella Joster virus.

Second case – A female patient, who was already struggling with diabetes, was hit by shingles only a few weeks after recovering from Kovid.

In both cases, patients were given treatment from anti-viral medications and painkillers.

How to avoid this virus?

Keep your immunity strong after recovering from Corona.

Do not use steroids or antibiotic without doctor’s advice.

Get a balanced diet and adequate sleep.

Keep diabetes and other chronic diseases under control.

Contact the doctor immediately as soon as the symptoms are seen.

The recovering of the corona virus does not mean that the danger was completely averted. Due to weak immunity, viruses like Varisella Joster can become active and create a new problem. Therefore, Covid recovering patients will have to be more cautious about their health.
