Washington: In the most comprehensive study on tissue to date, researchers have found surprising results. Scientists have found traces of the corona virus or SARS-CoV-2 throughout the body, from the brain and heart to the eyes. The results indicate that months after the initial illness, the virus can cause persistent infection in many parts of the body. This study supports the argument for further research on antiviral drugs as a possible treatment for COVID.
Three years have passed since the corona virus came into existence and scientists are still trying to understand how the virus behaves with the human body. The most complex mystery is how the corona widely infects organs other than the respiratory system. Recently, a team from the Stanford School of Medicine closely analyzed post-mortem brain tissue samples from several Covid patients. They found no trace of viral RNA.

This study focused on tissue immediately after death. The findings showed that the corona can be found in 84 different places in the body. The most profound effects of viral RMA were found on the respiratory tract and lung tissue.

Elderly patients without vaccine involved in research
However, the virus has also been detected in the brain, intestine, heart, kidney, eye, lymph nodes and adrenal gland. The tissues tested were from patients with different stages of infection. These included patients from early infection (within 14 days of symptom onset) to nine months after severe disease. All the patients involved in the research were elderly, who had not been vaccinated. His post-mortem was done in the first year of the pandemic and he was also suffering from several other ailments.
