This week in The Medical Journal of Australia: A nice review about viral persistence (in bone marrow / megakaryocytes, the gut and other tissues) as cause for #LongCovid.
Mentions preventive strategies (vaccination and Metformin) and potential therapies.

New review paper in Nature Review Microbiology:
“The consequences of SARS-CoV-2 within-host persistence”
Discusses persistence mechanisms, persistent infections frequency, and connection between persistence and Long Covid.

New study from Tunesia looking at cytokines and endothelial function in #LongCovid
➡️ Finding increased levels of IP-10 (100%), IL-8 (95%), IFN-γ (95%), MCP-1 (80%), and TNF-α (70%)
➡️ Increased IL-6 and IL-27 associated with fatigue while IL-8 concentrations were higher in patients with dyspnea

This is a nice review that is well worth the read - and also raises concerns of new-onset dementia as a result of COVID-19 considering the magnetude of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting Long Covid .

Neuroinflammation is expected to be at the core of Long Covid (and ME/CFS). This interesting new review from November 3th looks at potential mechanisms resulting in neuroinflammation: gut-brain axis disruption, neuroinvasion, reactivation of (herpes) viruses, and other.

Another study from last week showing altered red blood cell morphology in #LongCovid. There have been multiple studies showing this, probably affecting blood flow + tissue oxygenation.

"Elevated cerebral oxygen extraction in patients with post-COVID conditions"
New paper finding elevated cerebral oxygen extraction in #LongCovid. My take: most likely a compensatory mechanism due to hypoperfusion (as a result of dysautonomia +/- endothelial dysfunction). Part of it is discussed

I love that the article quotes the late Paul Cheney, I've been really impressed by his vast knowledge about ME. A shame we have to miss him now.

Great article from last week by Peluso in Science Translational Medicine about Long Covid and similar diseases (called Infection associated chronic conditions here).
What can we learn from the past 40 years in this underfunded and understudied field of research?

There are some significant clinical differences between the groups, but both groups share the same symptom burden. The most commonly prescribed pharmacological treatment is Ivabradine, and Pyridostigmine is more frequently used for POTS."
