Distinct proteomic signatures in Ethiopians predict acute and long-term sequelae of COVID-19

Abstract Little is known about the acute and long-term sequelae of COVID-19 and its pathophysiology in African patients, who are known to have a distinct immunological profile compared to Caucasian populations. Here, we established proteomic signatures to define severe outcomes of acute COVID-19 and determined whether proteome signatures during the first week of acute illness predict the risk of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (Long COVID) in a …
