Todos Medical Enrolls Female Long COVID Patient Unable to Secure Testing While Symptomatic for MonkeyPox into Provista Diagnostics Case Study Series

health news
  • Patient denied testing for weeks due to risk of physician infection & non-MSM status
  • Amerimmune Long COVID Panel and Provista research-use-only MonkeyPox assays to assess effect of TPoxx intervention on Long COVID and MonkeyPox biomarkers
  • Risk of MonkeyPox infection severity may be increased in Long COVID patients

NEW YORK, NY and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Aug. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire Todos Medical, Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF), a comprehensive medical diagnostics and related solutions company, today announced that its Atlanta-area CLIA/CAP-certified clinical laboratory Provista Diagnostics, Inc. has enrolled a female Long COVID who was unable to secure MonkeyPox testing while severely symptomatic into diagnostic case study series. The patient was denied testing while symptomatic for MonkeyPox and has now been prescribed TPoxx. Provista has received patient samples collected prior to TPoxx administration and will assess MonkeyPox effect on the Amerimmune Long COVID Panel pre and post TPoxx intervention. The data could provide valuable information on the risk of MonkeyPox to Long COVID patients. The Company believes it is important for schools to plan for PCR-based COVID surveillance testing and MonkeyPox testing and contract tracing programs in order to be able to effectively respond to the threat of viral outbreaks in their schools.

With a prevalence of Long COVID among children previously infected with COVID at between 10% according to an article in JAMA and 25% according Nature, there is significant risk that if MonkeyPox outbreaks become routine in schools immune-compromised children, including those with Long COVID, may suffer an outsized impact as a result of impaired immune response. There are currently over 30 million children enrolled in elementary and middle schools in the United States and over 16 million children enrolled in high schools.

About Todos Medical Ltd.

Founded in Rehovot, Israel with offices in New York City, Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: TOMDF) engineers life-saving diagnostic solutions for the early detection of a variety of cancers. The Company’s state-of-the-art and patented Todos Biochemical Infrared Analyses (TBIA) is a proprietary cancer-screening technology using peripheral blood analysis that examines cancer’s influence on the immune system, looking for biochemical changes in blood mononuclear cells and plasma. Todos’ two internally developed cancer-screening tests, TMB-1 and TMB-2 have received a CE mark in Europe. Todos recently acquired U.S.-based medical diagnostics company Provista Diagnostics, Inc. to gain rights to its Alpharetta, Georgia-based CLIA/CAP certified lab currently performing PCR COVID testing, Long COVID Panel analyses, and Provista’s proprietary commercial-stage Videssa® breast cancer blood test. More information on Provista is available at www.provistadx.com.

Todos is also developing blood tests for the early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. The Lymphocyte Proliferation Test (LymPro Test™) is a diagnostic blood test that determines the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and monocytes to withstand an exogenous mitogenic stimulation that induces them to enter the cell cycle. It is believed that certain diseases, most notably Alzheimer’s disease, are the result of compromised cellular machinery that leads to aberrant cell cycle re-entry by neurons, which then leads to apoptosis. LymPro is unique in the use of peripheral blood lymphocytes as a surrogate for neuronal cell function, suggesting a common relationship between PBLs and neurons in the brain.

Todos formed the Israeli-based majority-owned joint venture 3CL Pharma, Ltd with NLC Pharma in March of 2022 to consolidate all of the intellectual property surrounding 3CL protease – based diagnostic testing and development of 3CL protease botanical and pharmaceutical inhibitors that target a fundamental reproductive mechanism of coronaviruses. 3CL Pharma, through Todos’ brand, has commercialized the 3CL protease inhibitor immune support dietary supplement Tollovid in the United States, is developing the dual mechanism 3CL protease inhibitor and anti-cytokine therapeutic drug candidate Tollovir, while also developing the 3CL protease diagnostic TolloTest™.
