Recently Omicron strains BA.4 and BA.5 subtypes have appeared.
To date, more than 1,000 variant strains of the new coronavirus have been identified, and five strains of the virus have attracted greater attention: the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and omicron strains, with omicron becoming the dominant strain in the spread of the virus, gradually replacing the delta strain in the global epidemic.
In November 2021, a mutated strain of omicron was detected, and three subtypes, BA.1, BA.2, and BA.3, emerged, with BA.2 being the most prevalent, and BA.4 and BA.5 subtypes of the omicron strain emerging recently, which is more capable of decreasing the neutralizing ability of antibodies in the population than the delta strain.
Vaccination reduces the mortality and severe disease rate of CKP, especially after booster injection, which can rapidly increase the antibody level and the neutralizing capacity is rapidly rebounded.
Patients with C.neoformans pneumonia should seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s instructions for isolation and treatment, and should not be negligent so as not to affect their own health and the health of others.
