Long-term impacts of COVID-19 on systemic inflammation and control of breathing reflexes: an observational cohort study
Overall, this data indicates that COVID-19 and other acute viral infections may have a modest impact on the chemoreflex control of breathing as well as systemic inflammatory profiles, and that these changes may be linked to each other. These findings may strengthen our understanding of the pathology of long-COVID symptoms.
