Coronavirus causes the body's own immune system to attack itself, a new study of medical scans has confirmed. The body’s immune system is responsible for the “long-term and bizarre” symptoms among severe Covid-19 patients, scientists say. Now researchers at Northwestern University in the United States have used radiological images to identify the culprit - our own immune system. The scans revealed inflammations, damaged nerves and blood clots, caused by the body’s immune system in response to the virus, the researchers found. Radiological imaging, like MRI or CT scans, could help doctors point patients in the right direction when it comes to treatment.
