Long COVID-related eye symptoms persisted for 3 months to 3 years in a new study. Specialized tests linked them to altered pupil control, corneal nerve damage and immune activity, suggesting the symptoms may have measurable biological features. Let's break it down.
Long Covidの原因の一つではないか?と考えられている”ウイルスの持続感染”と”免疫の乱れ”について検討した論文。
Long Covid患者では感染から2年近く経過したケースでも回腸末端からNタンパク質を認めた。その結果、マスト細胞が過剰に活性し腸のバリア機能が低下(ゾヌリン上昇)、更に免疫が過剰に反応するという…腸で慢性炎症が起こり、ダメージが続くという感じですかね。#mastcellactivation
#LongCOVID leaves a lasting immune imprint.
➡️ A new comprehensive review shows that SARS-CoV-2 can trigger persistent immune dysregulation characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation, T- and B-cell dysfunction, autoimmunity, complement activation, vascular injury, and thromboinflammation. Viral persistence may further fuel these abnormalities in susceptible individuals. 1/
