The research found that CD4 T cells were in a more inflammatory state, suggesting viral persistence. Another study published in Nature Immunology discovered immune dysregulation and uncoordinated adaptive immune response as factors contributing to long COVID symptoms. A third study published in ERJ Open Research highlights the impact of COVID on oxygen delivery to the body's tissues, which may lead to limitations in lung and heart function during activity.
