Analysis of temporal antigen profiles, performed by collecting blood samples at multiple time points, revealed that the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 plasma antigens was 10.6% 3-6 months after the onset of COVID-19, 8.7% after 6-10 months and 5.4% after 10-14 months.

The persistence of residual SARS-CoV-2 RNA or proteins in different tissue samples four months after infection
This study showed the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in solid tissue samples from various organs, including lung, liver, kidney, stomach, intestine, brain, breast, thyroid, blood vessels, and skin, in patients who had recovered from mild COVID-19 at one month, two months, and four months post-infection.
De novo onset or exacerbation of psoriasis following the SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccination
This study described a case series of 28 patients who experienced de novo onset or flares of psoriasis following infection with the SARS-CoV-2 or vaccination. All of these patients were successfully managed with anti-IL-17 or anti-IL-23 medications.

The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine alters the activity of human ovarian granulosa cells (possible link with menstrual disorders)
The BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine directly affects the activity of ovarian granulosa cells, which is a unique, independent mechanism for vaccine-related menstrual abnormalities.
SARS-CoV-2 RNA and antigens were detected in the appendix and breast tissues of two post-COVID patients 426 and 175 days after the onset of acute SARS-CoV-2 infection
This study investigated the presence of residual SARS-CoV-2 RNA and antigens in tissues of two patients diagnosed with post-COVID syndrome.Â
Various time modes of proteomic recovery within two years after acute COVID-19Â
The results showed that different biological processes recovered in different time modes within two years after COVID-19, providing insights into the biological processes of the different long COVID syndrome phenotypes.
Circulating fragments of recombinant S protein were identified in 50% of vaccinated individuals 2–6 months after vaccination
50% of subjects who received mRNA-based vaccines had specific fragments of recombinant S protein in their blood samples 2–6 months after vaccination.
Circulating HERV-W envelope proteins and elevated levels of anti-SAR-CoV-2 IgE antibodies were detected in patients with post-COVID syndrome one year after the acute infection
HERV-W ENV protein was expressed in 58% of plasma samples of post-COVID patients, long after the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection was resolved .75% of post-COVID patients had elevated levels of anti-S and anti-N IgE antibodies compared to pre-pandemic controls.
Leprosy following COVID-19 vaccination
This study investigated leprosy or immune-mediated complications known as leprosy reactions diagnosed in the Leprosy Clinic at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, London, within 12 weeks following COVID-19 vaccination.
A case series of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination
The largest case series of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination.
129Xe MRI red blood cells-to-alveolar tissue barrier ratio shows abnormal gas exchange in long COVID patients
A lower 129Xe MRI RBC-to-barrier ratio in long COVID patients suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection may have caused some microstructural abnormality to one or two volumes, such as pulmonary embolism, pulmonary blood flow alterations, or alveolar membrane thickening, which leads to decreased blood volume.
