Can Medicinal Mushrooms Have Prophylactic or Therapeutic Effect Against COVID-19 and its Pneumonic Superinfection and Complicating Inflammation?
This research examines how certain medicinal mushrooms might help fight COVID-19 infection and its complications. These mushrooms have shown ability to boost immune function, fight infections, and reduce harmful inflammation. The study suggests they could potentially help protect against or treat COVID-19 in several ways: • Could help prevent or fight secondary bacterial infections that often complicate COVID-19 cases • May help control the excessive inflammation that causes severe COVID-19 symptoms • Could boost the immune system’s ability to fight the virus • Might help protect against antibiotic-resistant bacteria • Could potentially be used as a natural supplement alongside other COVID-19 treatments
