Long Covid Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

Long COVID is associated with early immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and antibody responses to herpesviruses.

  • Long COVID exhibits a diverse range of symptoms and characteristics.
  • Early immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 may play a role in the development of long COVID.
  • Antibody responses to herpesviruses during acute SARS-CoV-2 infection are not well understood.
  • The relationship between herpesvirus-directed antibody responses and long COVID is unclear.
