Associations Between Inflammatory and Catecholamine Markers and Clinical Outcomes in People with Post-Acute SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Participants in this observational study of PASC report lower levels of emotional, physical well-being, more fatigue, anxiety and depression than are reported in population norms. Epinephrine and IL1b correlate with these findings and may offer a biological measurement, providing clinically useful information for tracking persistence or recovery. These findings may encourage further study to develop newer treatment approaches.
