An over-active immune response may be a reason why some patients develop long-term post-Covid-19 exposure symptoms.

That is according to research from APC Microbiome Ireland, an SFI research centre in UCC, which shows patients with Long Covid have "significant and demonstrable disturbances" in immune signalling networks for up to nine months following hospital discharge.
