A FEW MONTHS AFTER a single INFECTION, ALL PROTECTIONS DECLINE : antibody levels, innate and adaptive immune cells plus a shift from Th1/inflammatory to Th2 serum cytokine levels

2) This study investigated the long-term effects of a single COVID-19 infection on the immune system. Even 10 months later, the researchers found significant changes in patients' immune cells and antibodies.

3) Patients had reduced levels of various immune cells, including those that fight infections. Their antibody levels against the virus also dropped substantially over time. The immune system also shifted from a pro-inflammatory state to one focused on allergic responses.

4) Younger patients tended to have a more pronounced decline in certain antibodies. These immune changes may help explain the diverse long-term symptoms experienced by some COVID-19 patients, known as "long COVID."

5) The study suggests that the initial COVID-19 infection can have a lasting impact on the body's ability to defend itself. This could make people more susceptible to future infections or other health issues.

Thanks 🙏
