Understanding Long COVID and Diagnostic Breakthroughs

TLDRDr. Bruce Patterson has made significant breakthroughs in understanding and diagnosing Long COVID. His team has developed algorithms and commercialized tests to differentiate Long COVID from other chronic inflammatory conditions. They have also identified vascular inflammation as a key mechanism and developed treatment protocols to target it. The success of the treatment depends on accurate diagnosis and long-term adherence. Patients with tickborne diseases may require additional treatments to address the underlying infection.
