LOS ANGELES, May 25 (Xinhua) — Early results from a recent study have revealed new details regarding long-lasting COVID, a collection of post-infectious symptoms that can affect nearly every tissue and organ in the human body.
Published Thursday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the study examined data collected from nearly 10,000 Americans, many of whom had contracted COVID-19. The researchers, funded by the US National Institutes of Health, found that clinical symptoms were highly variable, including fatigue, “mental fog” and dizziness, and might last for months or years. years following a COVID-19 infection.
The research team also found that long COVID was more common and more severe in people infected with the Omicron variant that emerged in 2021.
The researchers emphasized that studying the biological mechanisms underlying long-lasting COVID cases is essential to advancing cutting-edge treatments and identifying effective strategies.
They hoped the study would be another step toward developing treatments for long-lasting COVID, which affects the health and well-being of millions of Americans. END
