A new study provides insights about a symptom called COVID toes that causes redness and swelling of the hands and toes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Post-COVID Syndrome
Post-COVID complications are the conditions that develop weeks after recovering from COVID-19

‘Immune response and endothelial cells play an important role in the development of COVID toes and chilblains.’
The mechanisms behind both types involved an immune response with high levels of certain autoantibodies as well as type I interferon, a key protein in the antiviral response. In addition to the immune system, endothelial cells that line blood vessels also appeared to play a critical role in the development of COVID toes and chilblains.
The epidemiology and clinical features of chilblain-like lesions have been extensively studied and published. However, little is known about the pathophysiology involved. Future studies involving a large population can provide more insight.
Mucormycosis (Black Fungal Disease): A Complication of COVID-19
Mucormycosis is spread by spores from the black fungus, Mycormycetes. It mainly affects people with a weak immune system and attacks the lungs and other organs of the body. It is also known as Black Fungal Disease.

'Hybrid Immunity' may Help Elude COVID-19 Pandemic
'Hybrid' coronavirus exposure stirs high levels of immunity among the individuals who were vaccinated and also previously infected with the coronavirus.

Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.
