How do I know if I have this problem?

This appears to be a blood test for the "Type-I IFN" factor referenced in the study:

A quick search indicates there might be something comparable from the usual mass-market retail labs (Quest, LabCorp).

How interesting. I have lupus and I’m in a very small lupus-related subreddit (<5,000 members) and we’ve had quite a few posts from people who are claiming they had COVID-19 and now have lupus. I kind assumed they were just having the lingering COVID symptoms that have been in the news rather than actual lupus. Perhaps there is a relation after all?
