our proteomic long covid kids study is now out, proving the real nature of the disease and closing the lockdown narrative, also opening to a diagnostic test

the backstage of this study including the pubblication process is all detailed in my book

1/ tinyurl.com/4tsvhwat long covid has a well distinct proteomic profile, suggesting a specific inflammatory pattern but also that our diagnosis was pretty good. kids with the famous MISC were less well grouped(and it is known this can happen, like with severe covid or kawasaki)!

Another 13yro girl initially labeled as FUNCTIONAL that had to travel from belgium to my #longcovid clinic in Rome to perform a simple test to document that simply standing up or walking in a boring hospital ward her heart rate goes up and down in a senseless way!

Long term outcomes to be defined.
As a comparison, we had some malarias, 2 meningitis (neisseria and pneumo)👇🏿

I am extremely happy to see our paper “Viral persistence in children infected with SARS-CoV-2: current evidence and future research strategies” available open access on @lancet microbe. 👇🏿

@lancet In this paper, we analyze the unchallengeable evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can persist after initial infection also in children of any age. 👇🏿
