Brainstormublx: From www.longdom.org: Cytokine deficiencies in patients with Long-COVID01:39
ublx^ "We compared plasma cytokine levels from individuals with long-COVID to healthy individuals and found that those with long-COVID had 100% reductions in circulating levels of Interferon Gamma (IFNγ) and Interleukin-8 (IL-8)."01:39
ublx^ very small study though, "Our long-COVID cohort included 12 individuals, who we compared to 15 matched, healthy controls."01:41
LjLublx, could there be a reversal of cause and effect there? maybe "cytokine storm" is no longer really a thing with current variants, but if it is, i'd figure the patients most likely to survive are the ones lacking cytokines02:10
ublxhmm. well their "15 matched, healthy controls" included both never-infected and those recovered without long covid sequelae02:15
ublxone of the article's parting notes was the need for further research using immune challenge testing02:16
