Long Term Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) | Why Do People Still Have Post Infection Complications? | Testimonials from Coronavirus Patients

There are growing numbers of recovered Coronavirus patients who are suffering from complications from the infection. I feel this is going to be a problem we have to address as more and more people recover from their COVID-19 infections.

Cardiac, pulmonary, endocrine, coagulation, rheumatological, and in some cases, chronic fatigue syndrome is being reported but very attention is being paid to these patients. See when we get a cold or feel sick, after a few days, most of us are back to normal and our regular routines. But for some Coronavirus patients, they have not gotten back to normal and are struggling to get on with their lives months and weeks after the infection.
While the etiology is unknown and patients are being told “these are just the effects of the virus”, but could elevated cytokines be the reason for these complications?

Researchers now believe that Coronavirus starts out as a viral disease then becomes an immunological disease caused by a hyperactive immune system led by cytokines. So the old paradigm is once you test negative for COVID-19, the risk for elevated cytokines and cytokine storms decreases. But I think this paradigm is incorrect and why the inflammatory like conditions in post-COVID-19 patients are being ignored.

However since doctors are either not testing or refusing to test recovered COVID-19 patients for their levels of cytokines, we do not know if cytokines are truly the reason for post COVID-19 complications. But this is the reason we should be measuring cytokine levels and more specifically Interleukin-1, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8, RANTES, and MCP-1 not only inactive and acute COVID 19 infections but also when a patient is discharged. As I have said many times, nonspecific inflammatory markers like serum ferritin and C-reactive protein can be helpful as a diagnostic marker but they do not paint the complete picture.


But I feel that we are going to be seeing an increased number of post-infection complications over the next several months as more and more people recover from COVID-19. Dr. Patterson is seeing cytokines and other inflammatory markers in patients 30-40 days post-infection and some lab reports I have personally seen show elevations even 90 days later. But we are not going to prove or disprove the role of cytokines in post-infection complications unless doctors and hospitals start testing.
