This clinical imaging study will use the small molecule translocator protein (TSPO) ligand, Fluorodeoxyglucose(18F)-labeled DPA-714, to visualize and quantify neuroinflammation in individuals with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) . The brain uptake of DPA-714 will be contrasted with healthy subjects.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. 18 to 65 years of age 2. Healthy volunteer OR Clinical diagnosis of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) 3. High or mixed affinity binder for TSPO ligands based on genotyping for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6971. 4. PASC participants must have been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2. Their neurological symptoms must have been present for at least four weeks prior to the enrollment. 5. Healthy control participants must have no neurological symptoms Exclusion Criteria: 1. Contraindication to MRI 2. Pregnancy 3. Lactation 4. Individuals who are unable to…
