Abstract
Abstract
COVID-19 posed a major challenge to the healthcare system and resources worldwide. The popularization of vaccines and the adoption of numerous prevention and control measures enabled the gradual end of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, successive occurrence of autoimmune diseases in patients with COVID-19 cannot be overlooked. Long COVID has been the major focus of research due to the long duration of different symptoms and the variety of systems involved. Autoimmunity may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of long COVID. Here, we reviewed several autoimmune disorders occurring after COVID-19 infection and the pathogenesis of long COVID.
