Long COVID is a persistent illness that typically affects people who have already experienced acute COVID-19. It presents a variety of symptoms including fatigue, difficulty of breathing, and sleep disturbances, among others. These symptoms can manifest for weeks to even years.

The US Centers for Disease Control estimates that about 20 to 30 per cent of COVID-19 patients may develop Long COVID.

IncellDx’s diagnostic test was developed in collaboration with IGeneX, a renowned diagnostic testing company, leveraging the incellKINE assay. This state-of-the-art machine learning-based technology assesses the presence of a distinctive immunologic profile unique to long COVID patients. 

By analysing patterns of cytokine and chemokine biomarkers, the test provides a remarkable 97 per cent sensitivity. Published in Frontiers in Immunology, these findings validate the effectiveness of incellKINE in accurately diagnosing long COVID. Furthermore, the test received the prestigious CE-IVD marking in Europe, ensuring compliance with European product directives and safety standards.
