Case Study: 62 healthy, HIV neg. COVID 3/28/23 fully vaccinated, mild symptoms which resolved within a week. Since then 2 cases of shingles, sinusitis and periorbital cellulitis. CD4 297. <200 is AIDS It's not every patient or every infection but it's more common than people want to believe
Discussion related to Covid and Microglia: "Microglia enter the room."
From Sept. 2022: "...what impacts has COVID had on your overall immune system?
It’s early days yet. But growing evidence suggests there are changes to your immune system that may put you at risk of other infectious diseases.
Here’s what we know so far:
Omicron SARSCOV2 is NOT a textbook coronavirus as many thought, it clearly has T-cell immune evading capabilities! ➡️"Immune evasion from CD8 T cells could allow infected cells to survive better in the host. The virus could establish a safe niche for prolonged replication" #LongCovid ➡️Remarks: -Question now, is this cumulative with further Omicron subvariant reinfections?
Detailed analysis thread of what we know so far about Covid and the immune system: You'd have to ignore a lot of research to say that SARS-CoV-2 infection has no effect on the immune system. So the scientific debate is about how severe, how often, for how long, how much more likely with repeated infections, and how it would manifest in different people.
