Immune Function Test

Immune Function Test

If you have previously been infected with COVID-19 and experience any of these symptoms, please be cautious:

• Fatigue, chronic weakness
• Joint pain and swelling
• Easily inflamed
• Intermittent fever
• Skin rash or lesions
• Unexplained hair loss
• Chronic abdominal pain
• Thyroid dysfunction

These symptoms are common in autoimmune diseases, which, if left untreated, can escalate to affect internal systems and be life-threatening.

Although the COVID-19 outbreak has eased, for some patients, COVID-19 still leaves behind long-term health problems. One disease that has become more prevalent since the COVID-19 outbreak is "autoimmune disease." International reports indicate a 42% increase in the incidence of autoimmune disease in those who have previously been infected with COVID-19, and approximately 50%, or half, of those who have previously been infected with COVID-19 have autoantibodies in their bloodstream, which may be a cause of autoimmune disease.

**Autoantibodies It is a protein produced by our immune system that attacks our own cells.

Currently, there is evidence that COVID-19 can increase the risk of several autoimmune diseases, including:

- Systemic lupus erythematosus: SLE

- Thyroid dysfunction: Hashimotos thyroiditis

- Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia

- Vasculitis

- Arthritis

- Inflammatory bowel disease

- Multiple Sclerosis

- Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C)

Early detection and treatment can reduce the severity of the disease and increase the chance of recovery. At Klaire Medical Center, we can diagnose and treat post-COVID autoimmune diseases with experienced physicians, ensuring effective and personalized treatment for each individual.
