Article Synopsis
- Scientists are trying to find a reliable way to predict if someone will develop post-COVID syndrome after getting sick with COVID-19.
- They studied 437 patients and looked at their blood to find a link between a protein called Galectin-3 and post-COVID syndrome.
- The results showed that Galectin-3 could help predict post-COVID problems, especially when tested 60 to 120 days after the COVID infection.
The Predictors of Long COVID in Southeastern Italy.

September 2023
Introduction: Long COVID is now recognized as a common consequence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, but we are still far from fully understanding its pathogenesis and predictive factors. Many pathophysiological factors have been studied, including ethnicity. To our knowledge, the risk factors for Long COVID have not been studied in Southeastern Italy.

However, to date, data concerning the relationship between healthcare settings during COVID-19 disease and post-COVID mood disorders are lacking.
Methods: We performed a prospective study enrolling 440 patients with post-COVID syndrome.
Background: Residual alveolar inflammation seems to be paramount in post-COVID pathophysiology. Currently, we still lack a reliable marker to detect and track alveolar phlogosis in these patients. Exhaled Breath Condensate (EBC) pH has robust evidences highlighting its correlation with lung phlogosis in various diseases.
