The number and composition of various immune cells as well as cytokines and growth factors in the blood, which play a decisive role in the regulation of cell growth, were analysed in the recovered patients ten weeks and ten months after their initial infection . As no COVID-19 vaccines were available during the observational time period in 2020, all participants remained unvaccinated. This allowed the study authors to investigate the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection without the influence of vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Read more<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/news\/20240715\/COVID-19-leads-to-long-term-changes-in-the-immune-system-study-shows.aspx\"> https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/news\/20240715\/COVID-19-leads-to-long-term-changes-in-the-immune-system-study-shows.aspx<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u5c0d\u4e0d\u8d77\uff0c\u6b64\u5185\u5bb9\u53ea\u9069\u7528\u65bcEnglish\u3002Source news-medical In a study recently published in the renowned journal &#8220;Allergy&#8221;, a MedUni Vienna research team shows that COVID-19 leads to considerable long-term changes in the immune system, even in mild cases.
