A new Australian study of long Covid patients has found that their immune abnormalities largely resolved within two years of infection, providing hope that long Covid can resolve with time.
In encouraging news for long Covid sufferers, the study, led by the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney and St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney and published in the Nature Communications journal, found that biomarkers for long Covid that were present in a group of patients at eight months following infection in Australia ’s first wave had largely resolved within two years.
“For the majority of samples we analysed in the laboratory, the biomarkers previously indicating abnormal immune function have resolved.” Professor Gail Matthews, from the Kirby Institute and head of infectious diseases at St Vincent’s Hospital, said while the finding was “very encouraging and a reason for optimism”, there remained about one third of patients who identified some ongoing impact on their quality of life.
