“There are two options for the course of the new coronavirus infection.
In most patients, this is about 80% of patients, after the introduction of SARS-CoV-2 replication, the immune system, by its natural action, overcomes the infection, and the person recovers, "RIA Novosti quotes him.
Averyanov noted that in this category of patients, no matter what drug is prescribed, the patient "will still recover."
According to the pulmonologist, a large number of drugs for the treatment of the new coronavirus infection are associated with this.
“A completely different situation develops in about 20% of patients with SARS-CoV-2.
They develop disproportionate immunity, which can be compared to some extent with sepsis, when the immune system actually starts working against its body ... This leads to progressive lung damage, ”he said.
Earlier, immunologist Georgy Vikulov, in an interview with URA.RU, commented on the invulnerability of a number of people to the coronavirus.
