Reply to comment by stacybobacy in Is there any evidence suggesting that Covid-19 can affect the immune system, increasing chance of illness from other viruses? by stacybobacy
Even before COVID-19 there was evidence that fighting off a significant infection can cause a number of post-infection issues. Sometimes the damage is done by the infection, sometimes by the immune system fighting the infection, and sometimes the immune system can be dysfunctional after the infection. COVID-19 is unique in that is spread rapidly to a large portion of the population, and people had such a varied reaction to it.
Don't limit your research to COVID-19, although there has been a lot more research done in the past couple of years because of it.
