Description

Nayebali Ahmadi and five colleagues compare blood markers and gut bacteria in severe COVID-19, mild COVID-19, and healthy people. The virus is known to harm the heart and blood vessels over time. The team wanted signs that track how sick a patient is and how the gut shifts with the disease.

Ninety people took part: thirty in intensive care, thirty in regular wards, and thirty healthy controls. Severe cases ran much higher on a panel of inflammation markers. Their stool held far less of two helpful gut bacteria that make short-chain fats the gut lining needs. The authors link gut loss and inflammation to the vessel harm seen after severe infection.
