The Omicron subvariants BA.1, BA.4, BA.5 as well as Q.1.1 have a high number of mutations in the spike protein. Some of these mutations are escape mutations that allow the virus to escape neutralization by antibodies. In addition, resistance to biotechnologically produced antibodies, which are administered to high-risk patients as a preventive measure or as therapy for a diagnosed SARS-CoV-2 infection, is also developing. Omicron sub-lineage BQ.1.1 is the first variant resistant to all antibody therapies currently approved by the EMA (European Medicines Agency) and/or FDA (US Food and Drug Administration).

Most children who get COVID-19 recover quickly and completely, but some develop symptoms that linger for weeks or months. These symptoms constitute “long COVID,” a condition that can cause a range of unpredictable problems, including altered smell and taste. If things don’t taste right to a child with long COVID, mealtime can be stressful for the whole family. WVU School of Medicine researchers Kathryn Moffett and Lesley Cottrell are leading a study into long COVID’s effects on pediatric populations and their families. The National Institutes of Health has funded their work.

One in eight COVID-19 patients likely develop long COVID
