An team of scientists has found distinct changes in the blood of people with long COVID, suggesting a potential strategy to diagnose and perhaps treat the condition.
These findings, which include potential biomarkers and new treatment strategies, provide a promising direction for future diagnostic and therapeutic research.
A shifting pattern of proteins, showing immune dysregulation, could help efforts to create diagnostic tests and treatment.
<p>Analysis of blood samples from patients with Long Covid – a debilitating condition with unknown causes – has revealed serum protein changes as the likely culprit. The findings highlight potential biomarkers for Long Covid diagnosis and could yield insights into treating the condition. Not everyone fully recovers from COVID-19. Roughly 20% of patients diagnosed with it and about 5% of all SARS-CoV-2–infected persons develop lingering symptoms, called Long Covid, that can persist for many months. Symptoms of Long Covid can include fatigue, post-exertional m...
