Doctors treating the 59-year-old concocted a cocktail of drugs that is now being hailed for aiding his eventual recovery
A patient who was diagnosed with Covid-19 has finally recovered after 411 days of battling the virus.Medics in the UK documented the patient's rare lengthy illness in the Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases and said the patient struggled to rid himself of an early variant.
It is understood that he had a kidney transplant prior to becoming infected and so had a weakened immune system. In this case, the man first tested positive in December 2020, and although his symptoms went away, he continued to test positive intermittently until January 2022. It's highly likely that the patient had the original Alpha strain of the virus and so the specific medication finally allowed his body to get rid of Covid.
