For 23-year-old Monika More, who underwent a transplant surgery last year after losing both her hands in a railway accident, the novel Coronavirus infection she developed earlier this year was a mild one.

What seems to be a cause for concern, however, is that she hasn’t developed any antibodies. The Kurla resident is part of a global study on how transplant patients are prone to the virus, as they are immunosuppressed and also because they don’t develop antibodies. The study will soon be published in a medical journal.
