"COVID-19 is now the single most common viral trigger for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) an autonomic disorder. The pandemic caused a massive surge in diagnoses and awareness making POTS a significant public health issue"

"Analyzing 40537 patients this study finds SARS-CoV-2 depletes T and B cells for 20+ months causing long-term immune deficits. This damage increases vulnerability to other infections proving the virus is not "just a cold.""

"PASC (Long COVID) is caused by chronic immune dysregulation and hyperactivation of the JAK-STAT pathway which fuels inflammation. Clinical trials are testing JAK inhibitors as the first disease-modifying therapies for PASC"

"One study found a single Omicron wave caused persistent immune damage with CVD patients losing up to XX% of key immune cells XX months later. The findings reframe COVID-19 as an immune-modifying pathogen stressing that reinfection prevention is crucial"

"Long COVID is a heterogeneous condition with five clinical phenotypes including neurological and respiratory. It is driven by distinct immune dysregulation and long-term epigenetic changes with the respiratory type strongly linked to IL-1 activation"

"Long COVID presents five symptom clusters six months post-COVID with respiratory cases linked to IL-1-driven immune and epigenetic changes. Early anti-inflammatory treatment may reduce long-term risk by modulating immune imprinting"
