Abstract Objective Postacute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) is an emerging entity characterised by a large array of manifestations, including musculoskeletal complaints, fatigue and cognitive or sleep disturbances. Since similar symptoms are present also in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), we decided...

Predictors of Nonseroconversion after SARS-CoV-2 Infection https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27/9/21-1042_article ____________________ CDC study finds that 36% of COVID patients never make antibodies This has implications for prevalence studies of long covid that assume a lack of...

James Gallagher Health and science correspondent @JamesTGallagher on Twitter There are marked differences in your immune system after a natural infection with coronavirus and after vaccination. Which is better? Even asking the question bordered on heresy a year ago, when catching Covid for...

One of the difficulties in studying and treating long COVID is that we don’t currently have a definitive way to diagnose it. And without a diagnostic test, the condition becomes much harder to manage or study. Eva Higginbotham spoke to Danny Altmann, an immunologist from Imperial College London...

Abstract Although most patients recover from acute COVID-19, some experience postacute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (PASC). One subgroup of PASC is a syndrome called “long COVID-19,” reminiscent of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome...

Abstract Key points The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on autonomic and cardiovascular function in otherwise healthy individuals is unknown. We show for the first time that young adults recovering from SARS-CoV-2 have elevated resting sympathetic activity, but similar heart rate and blood...

Abstract The autonomic nervous system (ANS) can be affected by COVID-19, and dysautonomia may be a possible complication in post-COVID individuals. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) have been suggested to be common after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but other...

Abstract New Findings What is the central question of this study? This study sought to investigate whether central and peripheral hemodynamics during handgrip exercise were different in young adults 3–4 weeks following infection with of SARS-CoV-2 compared with young healthy adults. What...

Preprint: Breakthrough Symptomatic COVID-19 Infections Leading to Long Covid: Report from Long Covid Facebook Group Poll, 2021, Massey et al Abstract Vaccines have been shown to be extremely effective in preventing COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths. However, a question remains whether...

Abstract Background There is growing concern about possible cognitive consequences of COVID-19, with reports of ‘Long COVID’ symptoms persisting into the chronic phase and case studies revealing neurological problems in severely affected patients. However, there is little information regarding...

Pandemic insight The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the link between viruses and autoimmunity into the spotlight. Over the past year, research suggesting that people with COVID-19 carry numerous autoantibodies in their blood has been widely reported — although the mechanism at play is as yet...

Abstract Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 infection induces an exacerbated inflammation driven by innate immunity components. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in the defense against viral infections, for instance plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), have the capacity to...

COVID-19 Infection and Subsequent Psychiatric Morbidity, Sleep Problems and Fatigue: Analysis of an English Primary Care Cohort of 226,521 Positive Patients Abstract Background: While some people who have had COVID-19 experience fatigue and sleep problems long after the acute phase of the...

Abstract Introduction COVID-19 long-haulers, also decribed as having “long-COVID” or post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, represent 10% of COVID-19 patients and remain understudied. Methods In this prospective study, we recruited 30 consecutive patients seeking medical help for persistent symptoms...

Abstract Introduction COVID-19 has caused unprecedented hardships in the 21st century with more than 150 million infections. Various immunological phenomena have been described during the course of the infection, and this infection has also triggered autoimmunity. Rheumatological illnesses have...

Introduction Long-term COVID symptoms marked by autonomic dysfunction1 and cardiac damage2 following COVID-19 infection have been noted for up to 6 months after symptom onset,3 but to date have not been quantified, to our knowledge. Previous studies have found that wearable data can improve...

Abstract Purpose of Review Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a global health challenge. This review aims to summarize the incidence, risk factors, possible pathophysiology, and proposed management of neurological...

No idea where to put this otherwise as it's a direct consequence of the pandemic and this is preliminary data, but what it suggests is too massive to ignore, especially as it challenges long-held dogma.
