Long COVID in Immunocompromised and Immunocompetent Patients: A Clinical, Morphologic, and Virologic Portrait
Long COVID patients showed a peculiar OP pattern, with more vascular and fibrotic changes. SARS-CoV-2 RNA, even in replicative status, can be detected in lung biopsies of both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. This pilot study is a forerunner of more in-depth lung tissue investigations to gain a better understanding of long COVID pathobiology.
