The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the infection of hundreds of millions of individuals over the past 3 years, coupled with millions of deaths. Along with these more acute impacts of infection, a large subset of patients has developed symptoms that collectively comprise "postacute sequelae of COVID-19" (PASC, also known as long COVID), which can persist for months and maybe even years. In this review, we outline the current knowledge on the role of impaired microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis signaling in the development of PASC and the potential mechanisms involved, which may lead to a better understanding of disease progression and treatment options in the future.
在过去的 3 年中,COVID-19 大流行导致数亿人感染,数百万人死亡。除了这些更严重的感染影响外,很大一部分患者出现了一系列共同构成“COVID-19 后急性后遗症”(PASC,也称为长新冠)的症状,这些症状可能持续数月甚至数年。在这篇综述中,我们概述了目前关于受损的微生物群-肠道-大脑(MGB)轴信号在 PASC 发展中的作用及其潜在机制的知识,这可能有助于更好地了解未来疾病的进展和治疗选择。
