Long-term symptoms 23 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection symptoms COVID19 coronavirus covid infection SARSCoV2
By Shanet Susan AlexAug 2 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent article posted to Open Forum Infectious Diseases, scientists analyzed coronavirus disease 2019 symptoms lasting 23 months after the infection.
About the study In the current prospective research, the scientists investigated the same study population they assessed earlier for four months for long-term COVID-19 symptoms for 23 months post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results Overall, the study results showed that above one-third of COVID-19 patients from the spring of 2020 reported still having symptoms over two years following the acute infection. However, 76% of volunteers claimed full recovery, even some with at least one SARS-CoV-2 symptom during follow-up. Some people with chronic COVID-19 symptoms reported feeling complete recovery, whereas 2% reported feeling no recovery, and 22% reported no full recovery.
Notably, the long COVID prevalence estimate offered by the present study was slightly lower yet was consistent with the few investigations examining long COVID one-year post-infection. All prior assessments demonstrated that the symptoms continue but not to the same extent. The team mentioned that the differences across studies might be due to methodological problems.
