New York, May 26 (Ians) A team of US researchers have identified 12 key symptoms of Long Covid condition — which persist more than 30 days after a Covid-19 infection.
With over 650 million people globally having been infected with Sars-CoV-2, long Covid represents a significant public health concern that affects quality of life, earnings, and health care costs.
To better understand the prevalence and severity of symptoms, the US National Institutes of Health (Nih) launched Researching Covid to Enhance Recovery (Recover-Adult).
Published online in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study examined 37 symptoms across multiple body areas and organs.
Researchers identified 12 symptoms that most set apart those with and without long Covid: post exertional malaise (worsening of symptoms following even minor physical or mental exertion), fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms, heart palpitations, issues with sexual desire or capacity, loss of smell or taste, thirst, chronic cough, chest pain, and abnormal movements.
