Antibodies after COVID can attack the body

Antibodies after suffering coronavirus can be dangerous

They can cause chronic inflammation, joint damage, skin damage, and also the nervous system.

Antibodies that appear in people who have had COVID-19 can mistakenly attack healthy cells in organs and tissues of the body. This conclusion was reached by a group of researchers from the Heart Institute in Los Angeles, USA, reports Journal of Translational Medicine.

Scientists have found that a few months after a person has recovered from the coronavirus, they have increased levels of antibodies that may not work properly. As confirmation, in 177 medical workers who had the disease before the advent of vaccines, persistent antibodies were detected for six months, which could cause chronic inflammation, damage to joints, skin, and also the nervous system.

Autoantibodies – antibodies that can interact with autoantigens, that is, with the antigens of its own body. They can form spontaneously or as a result of previous infections. They can be early harbingers of full-blown autoimmune disease.

Recall that a new strain of coronavirus was discovered in Cyprus – it is a hybrid of Delta and Omicron… It was found in 25 people.

Recall that earlier the Ministry of Health called prepare for the next wave of COVID… The medical system of Ukraine is already preparing for a surge in the incidence of coronavirus. Ukrainians were encouraged to be vaccinated.
