Dendritic cell deficiencies persist seven months after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Even mild COVID depletes dendritic cells (pDCs) for seven months.
pDCs produce early anti-microbial defences that prevent severe RSV (and other) infections from taking hold.
Depleted pDCs mean we miss those early defences for months after mild COVID.
