Professor Boris Bogov with a forecast of when we can expect a new peak of COVID-19 patients – Diseases

The virus mutates for two reasons: natural and external interference. The treatment that is carried out, the transfusion of blood plasma, the communication between people, etc. they are part of the reasons for this mutation. Plasma treatment is not a panacea. It should not be used in all patients. There is no equal treatment for everyone. This was stated at BNT by Professor Boris Bogov, director of the Alexandrovska Hospital.

“There are no drugs that can be taken prophylactically,” he said.

As for Kyustendil, he said it was not a natural spread of the virus, but a non-compliance.

62 are victims of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours in our country

“There is a slight increase in the number, our predictions will come true, there will be a peak after the 25th of this month. We have a meeting of the directors of the largest medical institutions in the country with the Minister of Health on Friday. We are ready to return the increased intake of patients, and the respiratory system must be ready, “he added.

“At their meeting tomorrow, the national staff will decide to change the measures in case of increased morbidity, if it reaches 200 infected per 100,000 people. Then they will proceed in the reverse order of tightening the measures,” explained Professor Bogov.

According to him, there is nothing scary for students to undergo rapid antigen tests. This will show if they are sick. “The test is not dangerous or painful. The discharge is taken from the throat or nose. If this trend continues, restaurants will not be open,” said Professor Bogov.

When asked if the person could be said to be completely cured, he said yes, for those who have mildly survived the virus. “The frequent complications are related to the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system and the need for psychological help,” said the specialist.

“To date, planned operations have not been canceled. Admission is done by PCR or rapid antigen testing. People have returned to hospitals,” said Professor Bogov.

“We have patients who have a fever for three months after recovery and need continuous treatment,” said the doctor.

As for vaccines, he said that RNA vaccines have a proven effect and have not had a person with serious side effects. The AstraZeneca vaccine is an old type of vaccine, it carries a protein component of the coronavirus and when it is introduced into the body, it must produce antibodies.

“We treat all kinds of strains, but I hasten to say that we do not send samples to find out if the strain has mutated or not. The treatment method is the same. Whether it has mutated and settled in our country is more from a scientific point of view ., and not medical ”, is categorical.

When asked if the system would last, he said the hospitals would certainly survive because they have been preparing for a year. “We have more organization, we have more teams,” he said, adding that doctors’ breaks are no longer on the agenda. “We have many more colleagues who want to treat the coronavirus,” added Professor Bogov.
