New research from UC San Francisco shows that COVID-19 can linger in the blood and tissue of some patients for over a year, potentially contributing to long COVID symptoms. COVID antigens were found in the blood up to 14 months post-infection and in tissue samples for over two years, with a possible link to long-term health effects. The findings suggest the need for further research to understand the persistence of the virus and its impact on long COVID, leading to ongoing clinical trials to investigate potential treatments.
