*** Insights into Immune and Hormonal Features of Long COVID
Researchers investigated immune and hormonal differences in individuals with Long COVID compared to those without. They found significant variations, including higher levels of specific immune cells, stronger antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol in Long COVID patients.
