Immune Jumping in Autoimmune Long-Covid

Abstract:
This Long-Covid disease, mild or severe, is multiorgan or system-wide, spanning from fatigue to clotting abnormalities and autoantibody. The spectrum of different symptoms in Long-Covid diseases makes it difficult to point to a common immunopathogenic etiology. Different immune pathways are presented and critically evaluated. A hypothesis is advanced that indicates autoimmune reactions as cause for Long-Covid disease. The immune network pathway describes a redirection of the nominal anti-SARS-CoV response towards an autoimmune target. Several therapeutic interventions are suggested to suppress the autoimmune pathway.
