Immune dysregulation in prolonged Long-COVID: lymphocytes emerge as key mediators of persistent inflammation, exhaustion and cytotoxicity - Journal of Translational Medicine Background Long-COVID affects at least 10% of COVID-19 survivors, displaying debilitating symptoms across multiple organ systems. Despite the widespread prevalence, Long-COVID aetiology remains poorly understood, but emerging evidence points to immune dysregulation as a potential mechanism involved in its development or persistence. Methods This study presents a unique analysis of the peripheral blood mononuclear cell transcriptomic profile of COVID-19 and Long-COVID patients at single-cell resolution. We reconstructed the cell state and intercellular communication using differentially expressed gene profiling and ligand–receptor interaction analyses. Results Our results reveal altered T and natural killer cell subset proportions, diminished proliferating lymphocyte and B cell signalling capacity, and the expression of exhaustion and cytotoxicity associated genes 1.5–2 years post-infection, suggesting incomplete immune recovery. Distinct interferon responses in these cell populations at the acute phase for patients who go on to develop Long-COVID indicate early disease mediator potential. Conclusions Collectively, these findings provide insight into the immune processes underlying the progression of COVID-19 into a chronic Long-COVID state. The observed changes in immune cell subsets at the acute phase of the infection may be predictive of Long-COVID progression and could be useful in understanding disease aetiology while the observed long-term effects are crucial to developing therapeutic and diagnostic tools.

COVID is immune damaging. What's concerning is the duration of dysregulation

With substantial falls in testing on PCR, only the more severe cases may be swabbed. Many older people may not be registered when tested on RA tests.

Kids are more likely to be swabbed for the purposes of excluding other pathogens.

The data is based upon very small numbers
