This <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/jpgnr\/Fulltext\/2022\/02000\/Persistent_SARS_CoV_2_Nucleocapsid_Protein.9.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">case report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from JPGN, provides details on the symptoms experienced, treatments provided, and tests performed on the patient. All studies were within normal limits, with the exception of vitamin D deficiency (14\u2009ng\/mL; normal &gt;30) and an elevated fecal calprotectin (358 \u00b5g\/g; normal &lt;100).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor then provides a brief overview of the SARS-CoV-2 virus anatomy, including spike protein, membrane, envelope, SS RNA, and nucleocapsid proteins, the latter being unique to the Covid virus.\u00a0 The patient&#8217;s colonoscopy biopsy results found a large number of lymphocytes indicating chronic inflammation and presence of nucleocapsid proteins. The study makes note of the fact that the patient lives in New York so may have been at risk for vitamin D deficiency due to high latitude. The report also suggests possible therapeutic interventions including vaccination, monoclonal antibodies and corticosteroid therapy, and identifies that more studies are needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In conclusion, the doctor identifies some key questions regarding vitamin D and its relation to long Covid: Will supplementation with vitamin D help to improve Covid symptoms? How common is vitamin D deficiency in long Covid patients and how might vitamin D be a marker of appropriate sunlight exposure?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information on the topics covered in this video, see these other MedCram videos on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ha2mLz-Xdpg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin D and COVID-19<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5YV_iKnzDRg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunlight: Optimize Health and Immunity<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and also this MedCram course on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medcram.com\/courses\/CBC-Lab-Analysis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBC Results Explained Clearly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Stay Tuned for More COVID-19 Updates\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our COVID-19 videos are always available for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(and ad-free) at<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medcram.com\/collections?category=covid-19-SARS-CoV-2\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MedCram.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
