Remedicivir, a drug that has long been touted as a Covit-19 treatment, is used to successfully treat a patient who has a rare reaction to the disease.
A 31-year-old man infected with the corona virus has experienced abnormal symptoms caused by a genetic disorder called XLA, which prevents him from developing antibodies to fight the infection.
The patient with confirmed Govit-19 was admitted to the hospital twice, with moderate but persistent symptoms. His condition was stable, but did not improve on his own.
In both cases, treatment with Remedivir led to an improvement in his condition and allowed him to be discharged.
The researchers say the patient’s inability to develop antibodies gave Covid-19 patients a unique view of the drug’s activity.
They claim that writing in Nature Communications has Remdezevir antiviral properties and may be very effective for some patients.
Remdecivir was initially developed to treat hematitis C and was later re-developed as Ebola treatment, due to its similarity with SARS-CoV-2, which causes COV-19 in the structures of these viruses, experts believe could help fight the current infection.

Due to the similarity in the structures of these viruses with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Govit-19, experts believe that it may help fight the current infection.
Although there is no consensus on whether this is effective, clinical trials have shown mixed results.
The NHS has approved the use of Covid-19 patients in the hope that it may help, but has already been forced to ration the drug, which costs 4,400 per course (1 3,120).
But in November, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that patients with coronavirus should not be treated with remedicillin ‘no matter how sick they are’.
Officials at the time said there was ‘no evidence’ that it would increase people’s chances of escaping the disease or stop them from getting sick enough to require mechanical ventilation ’.
They also warned of the possibility of ‘significant harm’ when using the test Ebola drug – as it could cause kidney and liver damage in some patients.
However, Dr. James Twenteran of the Department of Toxicology at the University of Cambridge said: ‘There have been various studies that support or question the effectiveness of the remedy, but some of those conducted during the first waves of infection may not be optimal for evaluating its antiviral properties.
‘Mortality is a combination of factors that include an unverified viral response and, importantly, the immune system’s response.
‘A clinical trial that only looks at the effect of remnant on mortality can make it difficult to differentiate between these two factors. This limits our ability to ask the simple question: How good is Remedicivir as an antiviral drug? ‘
Antiviral is a chemical that actively destroys the virus.
The individual case of a 31-year-old patient provided researchers with the perfect opportunity to evaluate the antiviral properties of the drug.
His genetic status prevented him from developing enough antibodies to fight the disease, so when the course of his disease did not improve or worsen over time, the virus and its host became entangled in the form of severe homeostasis.
However, his inability to produce antibodies may have saved his life because in severe cases of Covid-19, patients are admitted to the ICU and, for example, the virus level is often low.
At this stage of the disease, the patient’s immune system begins to fail and is sent to Overdrive.
Its goal is to destroy the virus, but once it leaves the hand, the immune response attacks the body, causing inflammation.
In Covit-19 patients it is called ‘cytokine storm’ and it is dangerous. This never happened because the patient from Cambridge did not have such an immune response.
As a result, the disease manifests itself as chronic, mild symptoms that, when left untreated, do not improve or worsen significantly.
He initially suffered from fever, cough, nausea and vomiting and tested positive for the corona virus on the 19th day of symptoms.
Symptoms persisted, and on the 30th day he was admitted to the hospital, where he was given extra oxygen due to shortness of breath.
Unusually, his fever and inflammation of the lungs lasted more than 30 days, but without causing severe respiratory problems or spreading to other organs.
Researchers say this may be due to his inability to produce antibodies.
He was initially treated with hydroxy chloroquine and azithromycin – two drugs initially prescribed as a possible treatment for the infection – which were ineffective.
Hydroxy chloroquine is an anti-malarial drug that was won by Donald Trump, but is now widely ignored as a treatment. The commonly used antibiotic azithromycin is still being tested as part of a worldwide leading recovery test.
The treatment was discontinued on the 34th day and they were given a remnant course. In his condition the rise was rapid, the fever improved after just 36 hours, as well as shortness of breath.
His nausea and vomiting also stopped, and soon he removed the extra oxygen.
Further observations revealed that the inflammation was decreasing, his immune system was recovering, and the damage to the lungs was being cleared.
On the 43rd day of his illness, he was discharged from the hospital, but a week later his symptoms returned and he was tested positive and admitted to the hospital on the 54th day.
Previous improvement was erased and he was then given a ten-day Remedivir course.
His health improved again and he was discharged within two weeks of starting the second round of remedy therapy.
As his condition improved during both periods of treatment, the researchers found that the level of the virus in his system decreased.
Researchers believe this is evidence that he did not develop antibodies that prevented him from fighting the XLA virus.
Dr. Nicholas Matheson of the University of Cambridge added: ‘Our patient’s abnormal condition gave us a rare insight into the effectiveness of the Remedies as a treatment for coronavirus infection.
‘The dramatic response to the drug – in the ongoing challenge – could be the most effective treatment, at least for some patients.’
