Long Covid autoantibodies found but no clear pattern
Original: Some autoantibodies against neuronal targets found in people with # LongCovid but no specific signature....it's heteroge
Researchers report that some people with Long Covid carry autoantibodies targeting neuronal cells, but no single antibody signature defines the illness. Commenters say the findings fit a heterogeneous disease picture, comparing Long Covid and ME/CFS to conditions with autoimmune components rather than classic autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. Many say the lack of a uniform marker mirrors their own clinical experience and explains why diagnosis and treatment remain so difficult.
Why now: New findings on autoantibodies fuel ongoing debate about whether Long Covid is an autoimmune disease and why it presents so differently across patients.
