The new coronavirus will stay in the patient's organs for several months

International war "epidemic" operation

According to a report on the US "Capitol Hill" website on the 27th, a new study conducted by scientists from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) concluded that after the new coronavirus infects the human body, it can be widely spread from the respiratory tract to almost all other organs of the body ( Including the heart and brain) and stay for several months

The researchers said that this study is by far the "most comprehensive analysis" of how long the new coronavirus remains in the human body and brain

Daniel Certo, the chief researcher of the NIH Department of Emerging Pathogens, said that previously, they discovered the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of the new coronavirus in the patient's body 230 days after the patient developed symptoms

The researchers explained that although the "severely affected areas" of the new coronavirus infection are located in the lungs and respiratory tracts, new research shows that the virus can "spread and infect cells throughout the body" in the early stages of infection, including the brain, eye tissue, muscles, skin, and surrounding areas.

For a long time, scientists have been puzzled as to why long-term COVID-19 symptoms affect so many organ systems.

However, the data source of the latest research is mainly the sampling and analysis of patients who died of new coronary disease during the autopsy, rather than those patients with long-term new coronary symptoms
