There are approximately 15% of people who, after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, maintain a set of symptoms for several months regardless of their acute COVID. This symptomatology is also referred to as "prolonged COVID", "chronic COVID syndrome", "long COVID" or "post-acute COVID syndrome".
According to the survey conducted by the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians (SEMG) and the LONG COVID ACTS affected collectives, persistent COVID is more frequent in women (79%), in middle age, although it can present at any age and with persistent symptoms for more than 6 months.
Independently of the routine tests that are performed in all patients with varied and persistent symptomatology, we specifically perform a LONG COVID cytokine panel, consisting of the quantification of IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, CD-40 ligand, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5 (RANTES), TNF-alpha, IFN gamma and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor).
Depending on the results, we will know the patient's situation and will be able to establish the most appropriate treatment.
Depending on the analytical results, we prescribe a master formulation that reduces inflammatory cytokines, increases anti-inflammatory ones and regulates the affected growth factors. In addition, we always protocolize a personalized treatment based on Biological Medicine and the latest medical advances on the subject, so that the patient improves progressively and that, finally, his immune system is effective and able to perform its defensive work.
If the symptoms are very bothersome and the patient has a very poor quality of life, it is often very effective for an almost instantaneous reduction of symptoms, while the rest of the treatment is taking effect, to perform a cycle of INUSpheresis® in which we will filter the patient's blood, eliminating at once the excess inflammatory cytokines, which are the cause of the symptomatology. In addition, with INUSpheresis® we eliminate toxicity from heavy metals, chemicals and mycotoxins, which are actually the ones that are maintaining the patient's immune deficiency and symptomatology.
