Mattia first went to the hospital in Codogno on Feb. He was sent home but came back the next day after his condition worsened dramatically. He was only tested for coronavirus after doctors learned that in early February he had met with a man who had been to China.
Since his China contact turned out to be negative, though, experts now believe that the virus had been circulating widely and quietly in northern Italy since at least the second half of January. The epidemic has exposed the impact of drastic cuts to Italy's public health system over the past few years, and prompted calls for the government to authorize hiring of thousands of doctors and nurses.

Immune responses to viruses Download Immune responses to viruses. Download Immuneresponsestobacteria. Via cytotoxic cells When a virus infects a person host , it invades the cells of its host in order to survive and replicate.
Via interferons Virally infected cells produce and release small proteins called interferons , which play a role in immune protection against viruses. Via antibodies Viruses can also be removed from the body by antibodies before they get the chance to infect a cell.
This binding serves many purposes in the eradication of the virus: Firstly, the antibodies neutralise the virus, meaning that it is no longer capable of infecting the host cell. Secondly, many antibodies can work together, causing virus particles to stick together in a process called agglutination.
Agglutinated viruses make an easier target for immune cells than single viral particles. A third mechanism used by antibodies to eradicate viruses, is the activation of phagocytes. A virus-bound antibody binds to receptors, called Fc receptors, on the surface of phagocytic cells and triggers a mechanism known as phagocytosis , by which the cell engulfs and destroys the virus. Finally, antibodies can also activate the complement system, which opsonises and promotes phagocytosis of viruses.
