| Abstract: |
The article offers information on the neurological symptoms of long COVID and suggests that these symptoms may be explained by antigenic imprinting, where the immune response targets previously encountered viral infections rather than the current infection. The study proposes that in cases of neuroPASC, persistent neurological symptoms after COVID, antibodies produced for other coronaviruses rather than SARS-CoV2 may be responsible. |
