7:44 am
i do. you have a question about the corona virus. send it in and our science reported derek williamson. draw on the latest research to answer it. right to us at pivot producer at d, w dot come this week, j l wanted to know does your body wipe out the virus entirely or does some remain in you even after recovering some pathogens remain in the body at low levels, more or less permanently after infecting and, and they can flare up and cause symptoms even years later. that's the case with viruses. in the herpes family, for instance, which go dormant and cells long term by hiding their genetic material in hours there, it can persist for for long periods. and because the infection isn't active,
7:45 am
it's basically invisible to your immune system. but in the right circumstances, like if you're exhausted the, the viral genome can be triggered and infected cells begin churning out virus again, causing for example, cold sores or, or the painful blister is known as a shingles. this kind of infection is called a latent one. and although herpes viruses and some other viruses establish latency, as far as we know sars toby too, and other corona viruses don't work that way, but, but that doesn't mean that pockets of them can't persist in the body for a lot longer than you might think. they do and some people, especially the immunocompromised. there's been plenty of cases where researchers continue to detect sars coby two's genetic material. 4 months after an
7:46 am
initial infection long past the time when it should have been cleared and studies wrong, going into what that means. exactly. one thought is that persistent pockets of corona virus in the body might, at least in some people, be linked directly or indirectly to long coven symptoms. if even small amounts of virus were still replicating in an otherwise mostly cleared patient, that could be in theory, enough to activate an immune response, for instance, that, that might cause inflammation, which in some cases could lead to problems like my brain fog or, or persistent fatigue the ones that often a flex long haulers but, but that theory hasn't been proven yet, and there are other explanations out there for why. even otherwise healthy
7:47 am
people can come down with the wide range of symptoms that fall under the umbrella term. long cove, it boom ah, after suffering from kevin 191 woman in berlin has had a life turned upside down. the day to day life is dubbed by severe concentration problems and overwhelming fatigue. nothing is as it was before france series, my kind of it louis told from germany from certainties cavaliere, the worst part is the weakness in your body. it's overwhelming. after a few seconds, it's so bad either that you feel like you could collapse slum and grunt from us. when you feel like you just have to sit down and put your feet up. it's like the brain can't keep up any more. was fine as i forget things or even something i said just a 2nd ago or what other people said to me. numbers and names,
