Study: Swollen toe is a sign of “Corona” infection
British scientists have concluded that swelling of the fingers, especially the toes, is a sign of Covid-19 infection.
According to the British newspaper, The Independent, researchers from the British Society of Dermatology have identified the parts of the immune system responsible for swelling, which helps relieve symptoms that affect any age, but it is more common among adolescents and children.
According to the study, symptoms of pain vary between patients, and can develop into a painful and itchy rash or blisters and swelling when touched.
"Covid toe was seen during the early stage of the epidemic, and it was less common in the current delta wave, but it is rare among vaccine recipients," said Dr. Veronique Patai, a consultant dermatologist.
The results of the study indicate that two parts of the immune system may have a role in the outbreak of the condition, both of which include mechanisms that the body uses to fight the Corona virus, one of which is an antiviral protein called type 1 of “interferon”, and the other is a type of antibodies that attack by The fault is a person's cells and tissues, not just the invading virus.
