"COVID Traces Persist in Body Years After Infection"
TL;DR Summary
A new study has found that T cells may play a significant role in Long COVID by remaining activated in various parts of the body long after the initial infection. Using PET scans, researchers observed T cells in the lungs, gut, and other organs of Long COVID patients, suggesting the presence of long-term virus reservoirs. This discovery could pave the way for targeted treatments and new clinical trials to address the lingering effects of COVID-19.
