Researchers at a hospital found "Sinai Cedars" American, that in some cases of infection "light"After months of illness, signs of an overactive immune system continued to show.
Experts are concerned that the massive infections withOmicron Currently, it can lead to massive rates of infection with"long covid" Over the coming months and years.
and play Antibodies A very important role in an effective immune response, these immune cells act as "policeman" On the front lines, who does"periodicals" The body is constantly looking for specific pathogens.
And when it works immune system We have it right, these antibodies can easily recognize and ignore healthy cells, but sometimes these antibodies get stuck and learn how to target non-threatening molecules (like some foods) or normal tissues. These proteins that attack themselves are known as"autoantibodies".
Antibodies play a role in many autoimmune diseases, such as Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. These immune cells have also been linked to infection with a virus severe coronaA recent study conducted at Yale University in the United States confirmed a relationship between disease severity and levels of autoantibodies.
Back to the hospital study "Sinai Cedars"For the first time, it monitored the levels of autoantibodies in recovering corona patients, up to 6 months following their infection, according to the website. "New Atlas".
The researchers found signs of elevated autoantibodies in all those recovering, even those who initially had mild or no symptoms..
Study co-lead author Susan Cheng said: "We found signals of autoantibody activity that are commonly associated with chronic inflammation and injury involving specific organs and tissues, such as the joints, skin and nervous system.".
It was previously hypothesized that persistent autoantibody activity following acute viral infection plays a role in . syndrome "Chronic fatigue" (CFS), also known as encephalomyelitis (ME).
Some researchers have also suggested that persistent antibody activity may explain the underlying symptoms "long covid".
The co-lead author explained "Sinai Cedars"Justina Vert Popper: "These results help explain what makes COVID-19 A particularly unique disease. These patterns of immune dysfunction might be behind the different types of persistent symptoms we see in people who go on to develop the condition now referred to as long-term COVID-19.".
The new results confirmed that the activity of the autoantibody can result from a mild or even asymptomatic infection with the Corona virus.
A recent interview with the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, provided a pertinent reminder that even mild cases of corona can lead to "long covid".
He said in an interview with "Spectrum News": "We must always be aware that when people develop symptoms of infection, symptoms will persist in 10 to 30 percent of them".
