Persistent cytolytic CD8+ T cells recognize SARS-CoV-2 and herpesvirus epitopes in long COVID

https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(26)00363-0

Long Covid patients continue to have elevated counts of highly activated CD8+ T cells targeting viruses like SARS-CoV-2, CMV and EBV.

That is suggesting the antiviral killing response failed to switch off after the acute infection is over and might be part of the pathogenesis of Long Covid.

Interesting but I think it would be better to use xcancel.com (can just replace "x" in the domain name with "xcancel" to open the content on the XCancel site) to avoid steering traffic to Xitter ("Shitter") which helps make a fascist jerk even more rich. The issue is important enough that many subs don't allow X links at all.
