First seen Mar 20, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study followed 293 people with autoimmune diseases and healthy volunteers to see how COVID-19 infection or vaccination affects their immune system, inflammation, and blood vessels. Participants were placed in groups based on their COVID-19 history and had up to 5 visits over 12-18 months. The goal was to understand how the virus changes the body in people with autoimmune conditions, not to test a new treatment.
