Description

Detect Viral Reactivation and Immune Dysfunction Associated with Long COVID

The Long COVID Panel is designed to identify viral triggers and autoimmune responses that may be contributing to persistent symptoms following COVID-19 infection. This advanced blood panel measures key viral antibodies and autoimmune markers associated with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), SARS-CoV-2, and systemic immune dysregulation.

Who Is This Test For?

This panel is ideal for individuals experiencing ongoing symptoms weeks or months after a COVID-19 infection, including:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Brain fog or memory issues
  • Joint or muscle pain
  • Unexplained inflammation
  • Autoimmune-like symptoms

What This Test Measures

Viral Reactivation Markers

These tests detect whether latent viruses may have reactivated, which is common in individuals with Long COVID.

  • EBV Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgM
  • EBV Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgG
  • EBV Early Antigen (EA) IgG
  • EBV Nuclear Antigen (EBNA) IgG
  • EBV Nuclear Antigen IgM
  • HHV-6 IgM
  • HHV-6 IgG
  • SARS-CoV-2 IgG

Autoimmune Markers

These tests help identify if Long COVID symptoms are linked to autoimmune activity or new-onset autoimmune conditions.

  • Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA)
  • Rheumatoid Factor (RF) IgM
  • Anti-Double-Stranded DNA (dsDNA)
  • Anti-Smooth Muscle Antibody
  • Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA)
  • Extractable Nuclear Antigen (ENA) Antibodies

Immune Complex Marker

  • C1Q Immune Complex
  • Indicates circulating immune complexes, which can contribute to inflammation and immune system activation.

Why Choose the Long COVID Panel?

  • Uncover potential viral reactivations such as EBV or HHV-6
  • Detect signs of autoimmune conditions that may be triggered post-COVID
  • Help guide personalized treatment strategies
  • Gain deeper insight into the biological causes of lingering symptoms
