FAQs

SARS-CoV-2 can attack the body in a range of ways, causing damage to the lungs, heart, nervous system, kidneys, liver, and other organs. There are a few current theories related to the immune system and the manifestations of Post-COVID, also known as Long COVID. All are unproven at this point, and research is ongoing. Ultimately there may be several explanations for the different groups of symptoms.

The two leading theories are that symptoms are driven by the immune system, or by the persistence of the virus in the body. Importantly, these are not mutually exclusive, and it is likely that both factors are at play and interconnected, together with a number of other mechanisms.

The immune theory suggests that COVID-19 turns the immune system against the body. Theories linked to viral persistence suggest that the virus can remain in the body and brain long after acute infection, and its genetic material can persist up to 230 days after symptoms arise.

It’s not fully understood what these so-called “viral reservoirs” do in the body, but this may continue to injure tissues directly, or they may do nothing at all. Post-COVID is not fully understood and research is ongoing and patterns in the data are steadily emerging.

Our interdisciplinary team will continue to monitor the best medical science available while working with top experts in the field to ensure we are delivering the most up-to-date and effective care possible for our patients.
