11:44 am
oh, do you have a question about the corona virus? send it in and our signs me posted derek williams ladon, the latest research to answer it. right to us at pivot producer at d, w dot com this week j l wanted to know does your body wipe out the virus in tiny or does some remain in you even after recovering some pathogens remain in the body at low levels, more or less permanently after infecting you 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 ours there, it can persist for, for long periods. and because the infection isn't active,
11:45 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 charting 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 on and although herpes viruses and some other viruses establish latency, as far as we know sars coby 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 and, and 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 for months after an
11:46 am
initial infection long past the time when it should have been cleared. and studies are ongoing 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 afflict long haulers but, but that theory hasn't been proven yet, and there are other explanations out there for why. even otherwise healthy
11:47 am
people can come down with the wide range of symptoms that fall under the umbrella term. long cove, it ah, after suffering from kevin 191 woman in berlin has had her life turned upside down . the day to day life is done by severe concentration problems and as wellman fatigue, nothing is as it was before. for our series my cove. it we report from germany. ashland 1st is the coverlet. yeah. the worst part is the weakness in your body. it's overwhelming. after a few seconds, it's so bad parts that you feel like you could collapse from. 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 just go my mom this
