People who are infected with Ebola will be infected again!
Researchers say they have discovered signs that the Ebola virus can lurk and reproduce in the lungs of people who have recovered from the disease.
Ebola virus causes lung damage by infecting the lungs and spreading in them. The researchers were suspicious, but not sure, that the virus infects the lungs.
Dr. Giuseppe Ippolito and colleagues at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Rome examined the lungs and blood of a patient with Ebola infection. The researchers found signs that the virus remains in the lungs for about a week, after which it is no longer seen in the patient’s blood, however it can multiply..
Referring to the way this virus remains in the body, the authors of this study stated that this article shows the major role of respiratory tissues in the development of Ebola infectious disease..
The researchers said they still want to know the extent of lung infection and whether it plays a role in the spread of Ebola.
