RESEARCH TRACKS
The research focuses on three hypotheses:
persistence of the coronavirus in
the patient’s organism, the maintenance of an inflammatory state following the infection and the formation of microclots. “Recent work rather suggests a possible cascade: the persistence of all or part of the virus would lead to tissue inflammation (by attracting immune cells to the site) and a vascular reaction with the formation of microclots, resulting in less good intermittent oxygenation. fabrics.”
