For the first time, researchers have seen these microclots and NETs physically linked, suggesting a novel biological marker that may help explain persistent symptoms.Why does it matter? These strange clots could block blood flow in the smallest vessels, reducing oxygen delivery to organs and potentially fueling symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Even more promising, an AI system trained to recognize these structures could diagnose long COVID with 91% accuracy, offering hope for a future test. Although still in its early stages, the study marks a critical step toward unlocking the mystery behind one of COVID-19’s most enduring legacies.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/yy5SKrd.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 680px" />Source: "Circulating Microclots Are Structurally Associated With Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Their Amounts Are Elevated in Long COVID Patients."
