- An increasing number of COVID-19 survivors are experiencing coronavirus symptoms several weeks or months after the infection has cleared in what’s known informally as “Long COVID.”
- Several studies have shown the wide variety of symptoms that long haulers can experience, with doctors highlighting the severity of this COVID-19 complication.
- A new set of studies might finally explain why some people suffer from Long COVID. The illness may trigger autoantibodies that harm the body rather than attacking the virus.
The vast majority of COVID-19 patients who beat the virus aren’t done fighting its symptoms. The illness isn’t gone after those 14 days of battling the active infection. Many survivors will go on to experience COVID-19 symptoms for weeks to months to come. Some of those symptoms mimic the initial sickness
There might not be any virus left in their systems, but they still have trouble breathing and experience fatigue, pain, and other symptoms. This is what’s called “Long COVID,” a puzzling, chronic coronavirus illness. Doctors have been studying these “long haulers” for months, looking to explain the condition and treat it.
Now, a new series of studies might offer up an explanation for Long COVID symptoms, as some researchers think they’ve finally figured out why some people end up suffering long after the infection has passed.
