   Response from Dr. Frascino

1. Parmi ceux qui développent des symptômes d'une primo-infection (à peu près 50%), la fièvre (pas une légère fièvre mais une fièvre importante) est le symptôme le plus commun et se produit chez 96% des personnes présentant des symptômes. Par conséquent, tes symptômes ne suggèrent pas de primo-infection. Mais n'oublie pas qu'à peu près 50% ne présentent aucun symptôme. Si tu t'inquiètes, fais-toi tester.

2. La durée de 2 à 3 semaines que j'ai citée est une moyenne. Comme avec toutes les moyennes, il y a une fourchette de données, quelques-unes supérieures à la moyenne et d'autres qui y sont inférieures. Par conséquent, on peut raisonnablement supposer qu'une primo infection peut durer 4 ou 5 semaines.

Bonne chance et bonne santé.

Dr. Bob
