Israel has logged its first official case of what’s being called “flurona,” a flu-COVID combo that yes, can happen.
The dual infections occurred in an unvaccinated pregnant woman whose symptoms were mild, Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva told The Times of Israel. The woman, who was in her 30s, was treated with a drug combination targeting both viruses, said Arnon Wiznitzer, director of the Beilinson Women’s Department, in a statement.
“We are seeing more and more morbidity of influenza among the maternity population, along with cases of corona that mainly occur in women not vaccinated against corona and influenza,” Wiznitzer said. “This is definitely a challenging time that in addition to the corona diseases we are increasingly dealing with flu.”
