2/ Medford, MA — Long COVID, a debilitating condition following SARS-CoV-2 infection, continues to disable tens of millions of people globally, yet no approved treatments exist.

3/ However, Long COVID is not a mystery. Research increasingly links the condition and its symptoms to persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection, with evidence showing that the virus can linger in reservoirs for months, or even years, in at least a subset of individuals.

4/ While early efforts are underway to treat these reservoirs, more well-designed clinical trials are desperately needed to treat and ultimately cure the millions suffering from long COVID.

5/ A new Viewpoint published in Lancet Infectious Diseases provides a roadmap for testing interventions aimed at clearing SARS-CoV-2 reservoirs.

Thank you for this important work! But what pharmacological interventions can Dr's try to help patients right now?

polybiorf.bsky.social•94 days ago

The article outlines several therapies that can be used right now by clinicians, but also require further research. More details available under this thread: https://bsky.app/profile/polybiorf.bsky.social/post/3lhvukcwlf22j

This is great research & 🙏 for sharing it.
Surprised at the low rez version of Fig 1 on your website (when the version on TheLancetID is so much clearer).
