Israel has registered the first case of flurone, a simultaneous infection of flu and coronavirus, the Ynet portal reported on Thursday.

This is a woman in her 30s who is not vaccinated and recently gave birth in the Beilinson hospital in the city of Petah Tikva.

"He was diagnosed with the flu and the coronavirus as soon as he arrived. Both tests were positive, even after we repeated the test," explained Arnon Viznitzer, head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the medical center, who explained that "the disease is basically the itself: it is something viral that causes respiratory problems in the upper respiratory tract. "

Patients with mild COVID-19 infections have a better immune memory against the coronavirus than those with severe symptoms.

According to hospital data, the mother is fine and was discharged on December 30.

"We treat her with a combination of drugs that attacks both the coronavirus and the flu," Viznitzer said.

"We are seeing more and more flu-like illnesses among the maternity population, along with coronavirus cases that mainly occur in women who are not vaccinated against covid-19 and influenza," he added.

The Israeli Health Ministry is investigating the case.

Health authorities estimate that there are other patients who contracted both diseases, but were not diagnosed.
