This presentation in April 2022 is an overview of my research into COVID-19 and long Covid based on autoimmunity as the primary pathophysiology. It was a great honour to share these concepts with other experts across the NHS, focused on long Covid.
The general principles are:
Overview of Autoimmunity to serum ACE-2
Long Covid versus complications of severe COVID-19
Intestinal infection as central to the disease
Immune alterations in long Covid
Predictors for risk of long Covid
Tryptophan absorption affected in long Covid
This will eventually be part of a full course helping individuals have a better understanding of the disease.
Long Covid is a marathon, not a sprint.
