Not one, but three different varieties of long-term effects can occur in people who have had COVID-19. This is the result of the findings of researchers from Kings College London. Therefore, patients suffering from long covid require an individual approach during therapy.
- Long covid is the collective name for the symptoms that appear after suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection
- The list of such symptoms is long, and more items are added to it on a regular basis
- Long covid may be related to, inter alia, with neurological disorders
- More current information can be found on the Onet homepage.
Long covid means that complications from the initial coronavirus infection persist for more than four weeks, sometimes for months.
According to experts, with the first type of long covid, neurological symptoms are experienced, including fatigue, brain fog, and headache. They affect those who contracted the virus at a time when Alpha and Delta were the most common variants.
The second group of people suffering from breathing problems, including chest pain and shortness of breath, may indicate lung damage. These symptoms were common among those infected during the first wave of the pandemic.
The last and third group struggle with a variety of symptoms, including heart palpitations, muscle pain and skin lesions.
To draw conclusions about the different types of long covid, researchers studied 1459 people living with the disease who were still struggling with symptoms at least 12 weeks after infection.
«The collected data clearly show that the disease syndrome following COVID-19 (…) occurs in several subtypes. Understanding the root causes of their formation can help find a treatment strategy, ”said Dr. Claire Stevens, lead author of clinical trials at KCL.
It is estimated that in Great Britain alone, 2 million people suffer from covid debts, the British state statistical office ONS reported in June. According to him, long covid is most common among women, people aged 35 to 69, residents of poor areas, employees of the social welfare, health or education systems, and also among people who have other diseases or are disabled.
