If there is something that worries the scientific community it is immunity against the coronavirus . After several investigations that indicate that the immunity generated by having passed the disease is not as much as it could be, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have discovered that the so-called T lymphocytes can hide the key to immunity against the coronavirus , along with EM and EMRA cells. A discovery that could help predict the path of the disease in seriously ill patients and give information on how to treat them.

Specifically, the results for the 27 patients who received the drug, tocilizumab , experienced a reduction in inflammation, in the need to receive oxygen, in blood pressure, and even in the risk of death. While the patient results were encouraging, the researchers said they were not sufficient to demonstrate that the drug was safe and effective for use in Covid-19 patients since they did not conduct a clinical trial with a control group.
06.27. Researchers find three types of immune response to the coronavirus
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania (United States) discovered three types of immune response to the coronavirus , which could help predict the path of the disease in seriously ill patients and give information on how to treat them, according to a study published by Science . The coronavirus triggers different immune and symptoms in patients serious answers, but so far not well understood how these two factors are related, making it difficult treatment decisions, said the university in a note.
The first immunotype showed "robust activity" of CD4 + T cells, with "modest activation" of CD8 + T cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes. CD4 + and CD8 + act as the main inflammatory immune cells that work to kill viruses. The second was characterized primarily by a subset of CD8 + T cells known as EM and EMRA and a modest activation of other CD8 + T cells, memory B cells, and peripheral blood lymphocytes. As for the third immunotype, it showed "little or no evidence of an immune response to infection . "
The data indicated that the first immunotype was associated with a more severe disease, which included inflammation, organ failure, and acute kidney disease. The second was not correlated with disease severity, but with pre-existing immunosuppression, while the third, which had no immune activation, was not associated with specific symptoms or clinical characteristics.

The document, which compiles many of the measures that are already underway, establishes that it is the Coordination Center for Alerts and Emergencies of the Ministry of Health (CCAES) that, in coordination with the autonomy, evaluates the risk of localized outbreaks or increases of transmission involving activation of a rapid response.
The risk assessment for each community will take into account, among others, the territorial scope; indicators related to the epidemiological situation, health care and public health capacity; exposure to risk; the characteristics of the exposed susceptible population or the possibility of adopting prevention and control measures. The autonomous communities have the powers to act in the event of outbreaks, and to suppose a deprivation or restriction of liberty or other fundamental right, they must be ratified by the Administrative Litigation Courts.
