HealthNigeria: Can Positive Test For COVID-19 Turn Negative Few Days Later? by Equal2DeTask(op): 7:41am On Apr 06, 2020
On March 29, Nigerians woke up to the news that the Chief Medical Director (CMD) of the University College Hospital (UCH), Jesse Otegbayo, had tested positive for COVID- 19.

Declaring this in a statement he personally signed, Mr Otegbayo said his samples were taken after he came in contact with someone who presented what appeared to be symptoms of COVID-19.

The result returned positive
.

However, barely four days after this declaration, the hospital announced that a new test carried out on him (CMD) came out negative.

"I have the pleasure to announce that the repeat test of the UCH CMD, Professor Jesse Abiodun Otegbayo has returned negative," the Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Toye Akinrinlola, said.

The news of the result returning as negative has left Nigerians wondering if the COVID-19 virus leaves the body system that quickly.

Nothing is impossible.

For a positive case to become negative without necessarily undergoing treatment.

He also said the virus can leave a body with strong immunity.

"You want to look at the scenario of when he got infected. At what stage of the disease were test one and test two done?

"The laboratory test also contributes to this. Was the right sample taken? Was it well stored? Was it well delivered?

"The way your body will clear a virus is different from the way my body will clear a virus, even without treatment. So if your immunity is that strong, it can clear anything," he said.

Mr Tomori, a professor and former regional virologist for the World Health Organisation, also said some people are not showing any symptoms of the virus yet the laboratory results shows they are positive.

"So we have to take each case by its own merit," he said.

Henry Ewunonu, a pathologist, said the negative result means the virus has been cleared from the body.

This he said is possible due to the body immunity of the carrier.

"The immunity might have cleared out the COVID-19 virus in his system within that short period of time. There are people with such super immunity," he said.

He also said there might have been a case of 'false positive' because of either human or machine error.

"At the second point of testing he might have had a false negative. Meaning he might still be having the virus but due to human error, the result came out negative.

"The last possibility is the phase of the infection when he was tested. Was he in the recovery stage already?.

"The COVID-19 virus is still new so for now all facts are imagined," he said.

A renowned virologist, Oyewale Tomori, said it is possible for a positive case to become negative without necessarily undergoing treatment.

"The COVID-19 virus is still new so for now all facts are imagined," he said.


How this works

Olaide Shuaib, a Medical Laboratory Scientist explains how the COVID-19 virus detection and treatment works.

"When a person has a viral infection, the severity of the infection has to do with the mode of entry, the viral load, the replication and the receptor.

"The receptor is what the virus will bind unto. If there is no receptor for the infection, then the person won't be down with the viral infection, " he said.

Mr Shuaib explained what might have happened in the UCH chief's case.

"COVID-19 has 45 circles before it could be detected in the system.

"The circle is when the positive and negative situation can be ascertained. This varies depending on the viral load in the body system.

"If a person has CT of 20, that means the viral load is much in the system of the carrier. When this is the case, it will take at least 15 days before treatment will be able to cater for the infection.

"If the person has CT of 45 that means the viral load in the body system is lower. It will just take a few days of treatment to cater for the infection.

"This is the case of the CMD, he doesn't have many viruses in his body system. That was why the treatment was able to cater for the infection in just four days, " he said.


More medical scientists speak

Mike Ogirima, a Professor of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery said it is possible for a positive case to become negative once the virus leaves the body.

"It is possible, depending on the period you caught him to be positive before. It is a neurological reaction and if the virus is no more in the system, of course, you may not be able to find the trace of the antigen in the system.

"But if you look for the antibody which is the principle neurologists use for vaccine production, the antibody will be there. But he is negative, he can't infect any other person," he said.

An oncologist, Oseremen Shadrach, said scientifically when a positive case suddenly becomes negative, it means that the antigen you were looking for is no longer there.


"It means the person has developed antibodies. So in this case, the person has successfully mounted a reaction against the antigen which is against the offending agents.

"So I don't know the extent to which the test is positive or negative, " he said.

Chief Medical Director

Speaking to PREMIUM TIMES in an interview, the UCH spokesperson, Mr Akinrinlola said Mr Otegbayo has not exhibited any symptoms of Covid-19 till date.

He, however, did not disclose if the CMD underwent treatment after the result came out positive.

"He observed the prescribed self-quarantine. He complied with all the safety guidelines given by the World Health Organization and Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.

"It should be noted he didn't exhibit any symptoms of COVID 19 and he still hasn't exhibited any, " he said.

He said, on Friday, that the CMD will do the final test within 72 hours to be double sure.

HealthRe: Stubborn Rashes On The Head: How Can I Treat This? (Disturbing Photo) by Equal2DeTask(m): 5:14pm On Apr 05, 2020
mymadam:
shocked Rash name: Nuchal acne

Source of infection: Usually at the barber's shop (via contaminated clippers)

When will it completely disappear?: Probably never (whether you treat it or not, it will likely go and come back!)

Treatment:
1. Good, balanced diet always (Normal, isn't it?).
2. Henceforth settle for skin haircut style (complete shave) - Why? That part of the head breaks when hairs want to grow through the follicles.
3. The big one... Regularly apply a mixture of PYTHON FAT and ALOE VERA JUICE directly to the affected part (usually the back of the head... like yours).
4. Meanwhile, learn to live with it, after all you're just one of thousands with the condition.

GET YOUR CONFIDENCE BACK NOW or...

smiley Good luck.
Reason I always have my personal clipper...

RomanceRe: Guys Please Stop Giving Your Money To Ladies. by Equal2DeTask(m): 4:08pm On Apr 05, 2020
Toks2008:
There is a difference between a guy who decides to give his lady money without her making demands and a lady who has the habit of demanding.

It is ok to give your lady money only if you feel like or when it is extremely necessary and you should only give money you can afford without expecting anything in return but never ever put yourself in a difficult position where the lady you are dating will be making financial requests from you as if it is her right because no matter the sacrifices you make, she will still dump you if she wants to and when you look back to recount all you have done for her, you will realize how all the money you have given her would have been enough to change the life of someone very dear to you.

I have read many stories of guys lamenting about how they spent so much for a lady just fr the same lady to end up dumping them for another man and i always wonder if the lady forced the money out of them at gunpoint.

A lady who truly desires you will never make unrealistic financial demands from you but only a woman who does not have your interest will make demands as she wishes because she has no plans with you... the fact that you give a lady money does not mean she will love you and...in fact, a woman will take your money and give to another broke guy she desires cos a woman will sleep with a man she truly wants even if she gets nothing from him.

Please work hard, save and invest your money for your future, spend on your parents and family members and if you must give any lady money please do it without expecting anything in return and give only what you can afford.

Don't be scared of losing any lady because you have no money to give to her and stop wasting your money chasing shadows cos a lady who will be yours will always be yours and a lady who is truly yours will help you save your money and not take and take from you because if you give your girlfriend money because you don't want to lose her, you must keep up with her demands even after you marry her else she will dump you

Hope this makes sense.
