Study Pinpoints Potential Biomarker for Long Covid

Scientists may have found something in your blood that can show if you have long Covid.

They looked at tiny packages called EVs in the blood of people with long Covid.

Inside these packages, they found pieces of the Covid virus.

These pieces came from a special part of the virus called Pp1ab.

This is a unique protein found only in the virus, not in healthy cells.

This discovery could help doctors confirm if someone has long Covid and maybe even find new ways to treat it.

They are not sure yet if this means the virus is still making copies of itself in the body, but it does mean there is trash left from the virus.

More research is needed to fully understand this.
