Reactions: possible markers found in the blood of persistent covid patients
A study published in the journal Science has analyzed the set of proteins present in the blood of 113 people with covid-19 and 39 healthy people. According to their results, patients with persistent covid had a higher amount of proteins related to complement activation, a system involved in the inflammatory and immune response. In addition, there was an increase in antibodies against cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus. According to the authors, "available therapies targeting the terminal complement pathway could offer new treatment strategies for persistent covid."
