New Delhi, Sep 28 (Ians) As long Covid becomes a burden for health care providers globally, researchers now report that a blood test taken at the time of Covid-19 infection could predict who is most likely to develop long Covid.
The study by a team from University College London in the UK, published in Lancet eBioMedicine, analysed proteins in the blood of healthcare workers infected with Sars-CoV-2, comparing them to samples from healthcare workers who had not been infected.
Usually protein levels in the body are stable, but they found a dramatic difference in levels of some of the proteins up to six weeks following infection, suggesting disruption to a number of important biological processes.
Using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, they identified a “signature” in the abundance of different proteins that successfully predicted whether or not the person would go on to report persistent symptoms a year after infection.
