- The study focuses on how SARS-CoV-2 evolves within immunocompromised patients, revealing new virus lineages resulting from prolonged infections, particularly the Omicron BF.7 sublineage that lasted over a year.
- Researchers analyzed eight samples from a single patient, discovering 87 genetic changes, including variants and deletions, indicating significant viral diversity within different parts of the respiratory system.
- The findings suggest that nasopharyngeal samples alone may not accurately reflect the full range of viral mutations, underlining the complexity of viral evolution in chronic infections.
