A group of scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, the Helmholtz Center in Munich and the Technical University of Munich in Germany found that some immune cells (macrophages) in the body of a patient who had a mild form of coronavirus remain in an inflamed state for three to five months after infection.
