The Science Behind Immune System Failure and Long-Term Effects of Coronavirus Infection

Why does the immune system fail?

Doctors warn that our innate immunity is failing. This leads to the fact that the coronavirus can remain in the patient’s lungs for more than a year. The nasopharynx clears within two weeks, but the internal organs suffer much longer. This also applies to the nervous system and even blood.

Scientists have found that even after recovery, the virus can remain unnoticed in our body for a long time.

“We were very surprised to find viruses in some immune cells – alveolar macrophages – after such a long period of time,” says immunologist Nicolas Huot.

This occurs due to macrophages, which must fight viruses, Komsomolskaya Pravda reports. In some people, they cannot detect a disease that has already been defeated, but continues to exist in the body. The problem is that the killer cells stop showing other enemy cells. They simply perform their function and die.

This can lead to inflammation developing into a chronic stage. All this leads to adverse consequences of coronavirus infection. Those at risk are those who suffer from immunodeficiency and are undergoing chemotherapy.

To support your immunity, experts advise breathing fresh air, exercising and treating chronic diseases.
