And the British newspaper, “The Sun”, reported, Saturday, that Zach Morey (9 years) and 5 members of his family were infected with the Corona virus, and the results were positive before Christmas.
The family members developed mild symptoms of infection, but Zack’s injury was very difficult.
The child, according to the newspaper that published a picture of him, had a large swelling in his left eye.
At first, the child said that he did not suffer from known symptoms of corona, such as coughing and temperature, but that he felt inflammation in the eyes.
As the child’s condition worsened and his eyes swollen, he was transferred to an eye hospital in Bristol.
And his mother, Angela, quoting doctors, stated that what happened to the child was an allergic reaction to the virus, which is one of the rare complications of “Covid-19”.
The child was diagnosed with orbital cellulitis, an infection that affects children and affects tissues within the orbit, around and behind the eye.
The most prominent symptoms of this infection are swelling, redness of the eyes and poor vision.
Doctors studied surgery to remove fluid from the child’s eye, but they refused after antibiotics began to improve the child’s condition and reduce swelling.
And a study that dealt with the symptoms of corona related to the eye found that those infected with the virus had “pink eye” or “conjunctivitis”.
