The Nimbus COVID-19 variant NB.1.8.1, a descendant of the omicron variant, showcases familiar COVID-19 symptoms, notably a severe sore throat often described as 'razor blade throat.' Dr. Chin-Hong points out that this variant tends to affect the upper respiratory tract more than the lungs. Interestingly, research from the UK indicates that approximately 70% of patients infected with omicron report sore throats. Alongside traditional symptoms, gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and nausea are also increasingly observed among patients.
Chin-Hong confirmed that no surprising wild card symptoms have yet been reported for NB.1.8.1, but patients are experiencing a notably painful symptom named 'razor blade throat'.
A 2022 study from the United Kingdom found that up to 70% of patients reported sore throats when infected with the omicron variant.
