There is no shortage of people interested in antibody tests in the country. The government has responded positively to the antibody test, albeit belatedly. The government may soon formally approve the antibody test; Although it will not be open to the general public. However, experts believe that most people will be disappointed in the end with such an interesting antibody test. They say that since most of the people who are being infected in the country now are asymptomatic, such patients recover quickly but are at risk of re-infection due to weak or low levels of antibodies.
The antibody tests that have been done in the country so far have also shown its reflection. Many people who were interested in giving plasma could not take plasma because they did not have the appropriate amount of antibody titers. The researchers found that some people with weak antibodies tested positive for corona again after three months, and that they also had symptoms.
Plasma therapy specialist Professor. MA Khan told Kaler Kanth that so far they have given plasma therapy to 40 people at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Another 35 people have been included in the study. He also heard that some plasma therapies have been given in different hospitals. He says the biggest hurdle in this case is the antibody test. This is because if the antibody test is not exposed, it will be difficult for patients to get the appropriate amount of antibody-rich plasma. Explaining the reason, the expert said, ‘We are sure that those who are asymptomatic have weak antibodies. Those who had severe symptoms and recovered had higher levels of antibodies or titers.
Dr. However, Khan also said, "I hear that many people are giving plasma to patients going to the ICU. At this stage there is not much benefit with plasma. Rather, if you give, you have to pay at the beginning. In this case, it is better to give more priority to the elderly. 'According to the data of the Department of Health, the total number of corona patients identified in the country till Saturday was two lakh 95 thousand 625. About 98 percent of them do not have to go to the hospital or stay at home. Most of them have no symptoms.
Experts say that those who have no symptoms are less likely to be infected. As a result, they will have lower levels of antibodies. If re-infection occurs, they will be at higher risk than those recovering from a complex condition.
Meanwhile, several scientists in charge of the International Center for Diarrhea Research, Bangladesh (ICDDRB) have confirmed that more than 12,000 people have been tested for antibodies under surveillance. Asked on condition of anonymity, the scientists said their observations also showed that the levels of antibodies in the bodies of many people who had contracted coronavirus early in the country or three months ago had recovered. In addition, corona symptoms have been found in some of these people again and they have been identified as positive in corona test. The issue has thrown researchers into new thinking.
The government's newly appointed director of pathology, disease control and research (IEDCR) and professor of virology. Tahmina Shirin told Kaler Kanth, "After two-and-a-half to three months in some of the victims who recovered, we also got some symptoms and positive results. We have noticed that such incidents are also happening in some other countries. However, it is not yet clear whether it is a re-infection. I have started research on the subject. 'Pathologist and IEDCR advisor Dr. Mushtaq Hossain told Kaler Kanth, "Antibodies are being manipulated. Most of the people who are still infected in our country are asymptomatic or have very few symptoms. In these cases, the risk of having very low levels of antibodies in their body is high, "he said.
