Pathogen persistence occurs when microbes remain hidden in body tissues, evading detection and disrupting immune function, metabolism, and gene activity—which can make diagnosis and treatment challenging.
Illustrated scene showing a whimsical, surreal landscape with winding paths, colorful mushroom-like trees, and strange plant life. A cartoon white blood cell with a monocle and top hat walks along a path, holding a magnifying glass. In the background, a pink cartoon pathogen hides inside a tissue-like structure, symbolizing the concept of "Pathogen Persistence." A text box explains that some pathogens can hide in body tissues, avoiding detection in fluids like blood, and may disrupt immune response, metabolism, and gene function.
