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. All the results were published in the journal Mucosal Immunology.
It turns out that the immune system of people who had COVID-19 easily remains susceptible to infection with various diseases for several months. This is when comparing their immunity with the immunity of healthy people.
Also in people recovering from coronavirus, there were a lot of leukotrienes in the blood. It is a special type of pro-inflammatory molecule that promotes asthma and protects against the flu.
