"Link Between Inflammatory Protein and Long COVID Symptoms Uncovered"
A study has found that persistently high levels of the inflammatory protein interferon gamma (IFN-γ) may be linked to the symptoms of long COVID, such as fatigue and headaches. The research suggests that IFN-γ could potentially serve as a biomarker for the condition, aiding in diagnosis and treatment. While over 60 percent of patients who experienced symptom resolution also saw a drop in IFN-γ levels, further investigation is needed to determine its role in long COVID and its potential as a therapeutic target.
