Severe COVID-19 may reactivate some dormant viruses that remain in the body after prior infections, a new study suggests.
Researchers from Boston Children's Hospital and collaborators from more than 20 biomedical research hospitals across the U.S. and in Ontario, Canada, followed 1,154 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and analyzed more than 200,000 biological samples collected over one year.
The team detected 11 different dormant viruses that reactivated within the first 40 days after hospital admission for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according to the study, published in the journal Nature.
