What causes long COVID? A new study shows it could be related to spike proteins left in the body, even months after a patient tests negative.
“Do whatever you can to not get sick again,” Walt says.
“[Multisystem inflammatory syndrome patients] have a reservoir of the virus in their [gastrointestinal] tract,” Walt says. “We can actually treat them with a drug that is able to inhibit the transport of this spike protein into their bloodstream.” “If we can knock down the virus and the viral reservoir in these patients, we may be able to have them recover from their symptoms,” he says. “That may be using one of the readily available antiviral drugs, or it may require longer administration of these same kinds of drugs to get rid of the virus permanently.”
