The role of adaptive SARS-CoV-2 specific immunity in post-acute sequelae COVID-19 (PASC) is not well explored, although a growing population convalescent patients with manifestation PASC observed. We analyzed the SARS-CoV-2-specific immune response, via pseudovirus neutralizing assay and multiparametric flow cytometry 40 non-specific 15 healthy donors. Although frequencies SARS-CoV-2-reactive CD4+ T cells were similar between studied cohorts, stronger reactive CD8+ cell characterized by IFNγ production predominant TEMRA phenotype but low functional TCR avidity was detected compared to controls. Of interest, high comparable groups demonstrating sufficient cellular antiviral response PASC. In line immunity, capacity inferior conclusion, our data suggest that may be driven an inflammatory triggered expanded pro-inflammatory cells. These are known activated or even without stimulation lead tissue damage. Further studies including animal models required for better understanding underlying immunopathogensis. Summary: A persistent responsible observed patients.

Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has become a global pandemic due to the high viral transmissibility and pathogenesis, bringing enormous burden our society. Most patients infected are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Although only small proportion of progressed severe COVID-19 with symptoms including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), disseminated coagulopathy, cardiovascular disorders, is accompanied mortality rates near 7 million deaths. Nowadays, effective therapeutic patterns for still lacking. It been extensively reported that host metabolism plays essential roles in various physiological processes during virus infection. Many viruses manipulate avoid immunity, facilitate their own replication, initiate pathological response. Targeting interaction between holds promise developing strategies. In this review, we summarize discuss recent studies dedicated uncovering role life cycle aspects entry, assembly, pathogenesis an emphasis on glucose lipid metabolism. Microbiota long also discussed. Ultimately, recapitulate metabolism-modulating drugs repurposed statins, ASM inhibitors, NSAIDs, Montelukast, omega-3 fatty acids, 2-DG, metformin.

Platelet-endothelial interactions have a critical role in microcirculatory function, which maintains tissue homeostasis. The subtle equilibrium between platelets and the vessel wall is disturbed by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), affects all three components of Virchow's triad (endothelial injury, stasis hypercoagulable state). Endotheliitis, vasculitis, glycocalyx degradation, alterations blood flow viscosity, neutrophil extracellular trap formation microparticle shedding are only few pathomechanisms contributing to endothelial damage microthrombosis resulting capillary plugging ischemia.

Long COVID, a name often given to the persistent symptoms following acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, poses multifaceted challenge for health. This review explores intrinsic relationship between comorbidities and autoimmune responses in shaping trajectory of long COVID. Autoantibodies have emerged as significant players COVID-19 pathophysiology, with implications disease severity progression. Studies show immune dysregulation persisting months after marked by activated innate cells high cytokine levels. The presence autoantibodies against various autoantigens suggests their potential comorbid factors Additionally, formation complexes may lead severe progression, highlighting urgency early detection intervention. Furthermore, COVID is highly linked cardiovascular complications neurological symptoms, posing challenges diagnosis management. Multidisciplinary approaches, including vaccination, tailored rehabilitation, pharmacological interventions, are used mitigating COVID’s burden. However, numerous persist, from evolving diagnostic criteria addressing psychosocial impact predicting outcomes. Leveraging AI-based applications holds promise enhancing patient management improving our understanding As research continues unfold, unravelling complexities remains paramount effective intervention care.
