LONG COVID KEY FACTS
LongCovid is the constellation of post-acute and long-term health issues caused by a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
LongCovid can affect nearly every organ, and it can be severely disabling.
Currently it is estimated that it affects 400 million people globally. It affects people of all ages, genders, races, and regardless of their baseline health status.
The main symptoms are brain fog (cognitive dysfunction), fatigue, dysautonomia (mainly POTS) and post-exertional malaise.
Possible mechanisms are viral persistence, immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, complement dysregulation, endothelial inflammation and microbiome dysbiosis.
The term LongCovid was coined by patients and they are driving the research.
