LCRC: Evaluating the Response of the Immune System of People With Long COVID
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Many people who have had COVID 19 continue to experience symptoms long after they have recovered from the acute infection. This study will examine the clinical symptoms of people with "Long COVID" and measure various markers of inflammation in their blood.

Detailed Description
Patients who attend the Long Covid Recovery Clinic at Huntington Hospital will be offered participation in the study. After giving written informed consent, their medical history along with a description of clinical symptoms given through an extensive questionnaire will be accessed. Venous blood will be collected as a baseline and then at follow up visits (as dictated by changes in clinical symptomatology) for evaluation of corollary immune parameters. Patients will be followed at a minimum of every 2 months for 2 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Correlation of symptomatology with inflammatory profiles in patients with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV2 (PASC) [From onset of infection to 24 months]
Do patient symptoms correlate with abnormalities in inflammatory profiles?
- Identification of immunologic and inflammatory features of PASC based on results of immunologic and inflammatory assays [From onset of infection to 24 months]
Are there abnormalities in immunologic and inflammatory assays unique to PASC?
- Evaluation and delineation of the pathologic pathways and long-term effects of SARS-CoV2 infection [From onset of infection to 60 months]
What are the pathological pathways and long-term effects of SARS-CoV2?
- Identification of risks factor for PASC [From onset of infection to 24 months]
What are the risk factors for PASC?
- Identification of potential sites of therapeutic intervention to ameliorate symptomatology of PASC [From onset of infection to 60 months]
Are there potential sites of therapeutic intervention to relieve the symptoms of PASC?
