COVID triggers dormant virus activation
A recent study has shown that contracting COVID-19 may lead to the reactivation of dormant viruses within the body, such as Epstein-Barr virus and herpes viruses, even in individuals who were healthy before infection. This phenomenon is associated with a higher likelihood of severe COVID-19 cases, longer hospital stays, and the development of serious complications, along with an increased risk of death. The study suggests that the reactivation of these viruses could contribute to understanding the causes of long COVID and its associated symptoms. It also opens new possibilities for diagnostic tests and potential antiviral treatments to improve management, while emphasizing that there is no proof that latent viruses directly cause long COVID.
