#IDMastodon #Cellimmunity #publichealth #LongCOVID is recognized as a multifactorial disorder, with #Viralpersistent , discordant immunity, delayed #viralclearance & chronic inflammation. #Obesity has emerged as an independent risk factor for both #SARSCoV2 infection and its subsequent sequelaes . #Viral antigen-exposed adipose tissues display remarkable levels of viral receptors, facilitating viral entry, deposition, and chronic release of inflammatory mediators and cells in patients.

Subsequently, obesity-associated inflammatory insults are predicted to disturb cellular and #humoralimmunity by triggering abnormal cell differentiation and lymphocyte exhaustion….
