Summary

This study looks at how changes in gut bacteria (dysbiosis) may contribute to Long COVID symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and stomach issues. Researchers will collect stool and blood samples from 400 people—half with Long COVID and half without—to compare gut health and immune function. The goal is to find new targets for treatments that could help people with post-viral conditions.
