Characteristic immune cell interactions in livers of children with acute hepatitis revealed by spatial single-cell analysis identify a possible postacute sequel of COVID-19 | Gut
Characteristic immune cell interactions in livers of children with acute hepatitis revealed by spatial single-cell analysis identify a possible postacute sequel of COVID-19 | Gut

In a new study, children developed acute hepatitis around 2 months after COVID-19 infection.

They tested negative for acute COVID via PCR, but their livers told a different story.

SARS-CoV-2 proteins were still hiding inside, and their immune systems were trying to fight back.

Autoimmune response:

preprint finds that a #SARSCoV2 variant mimics human liver protein that may trigger T-cell autoimmunity—thus might damage the liver. Authors suggest it could explain a surge in children hepatitis. Note: ORF-1 protein is not found in vaccines.
