"Senate Urges More Research as Study Reveals High Inflammation in Long COVID Patients"

A new study in Science has found evidence of high inflammation in patients with long COVID symptoms, shedding light on the ongoing impact of the condition. The U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions has called for more research and urgency in understanding and treating long COVID, as medical experts testified about the significant burden of the condition, which can last for months or years. While the cause of long COVID remains unclear, the study's findings may lead to new diagnostic solutions for the syndrome, which currently has no known cure or FDA-approved treatments.
