How do you diagnose if there is viral persistance in a LongCovid kid?

there are only some research tests. Ideally tissue biopsies would be needed, so nowadays not yet a formal tool to diagnose it

Thank you for your persistence in tracking this hypothesis. Intuitively it makes sense.

Do you have access to ampligen in italy? It's shown promising results in studies with CFS/me. Unfortunately it's very difficult to access in North America . It is used in Argentina as that is where the pharmaceutical company is based.

And according to wiki, it is being investigated for the use with long covid.
