Un mister al sindromului post-COVID-19, mai aproape de răspuns: virusuri latente se reactivează

COVID-19 can reactivate latent viruses like Epstein-Barr and cytomegalovirus, potentially contributing to long-term disabilities and post-COVID syndrome. Researchers found that these reactivations occurred in hospitalized patients, linking them to physical disabilities. The study involved 1,154 patients and revealed that reactivation may be driven by inflammation rather than immune suppression. This challenges previous assumptions about chronic viral reactivation. Further research aims to understand immune responses to these reactivated viruses and develop effective treatments.
