The mechanisms underlying Long COVID remain poorly understood. Among the symptoms most frequently reported by patients with long COVID, some (fatigue, neurocognitive disorders, muscular weakness) are similar to those reported by patients with innate or acquired abnormalities in energy metabolism, suggesting that metabolic changes could play a role in the disease. On the other hand, other studies have shown that COVID-19 induces an immune dysregulation that could persist after recovery.~The hypothesis of this study is that there are subtle but detectable immunometabolic changes in plasma and PBMC of patients with long COVID. The identification of these specific signatures would help to better understand the physiopathology of this disease and to identify possible therapeutic strategies .~The primary objective of this study is to identify immunometabolic signatures in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with long COVID, as compared to patients who recovered from COVID-19 without prolonged symptoms.
