Fox News
COVID-19 patients may not need to wait long after being infected to know if they will develop post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, according to a paper published this week in Nature Communications.
"The most frequent symptoms of long COVID are reported to be fatigue, dyspnea [shortness of breath], and cognitive impairment (also termed 'brain fog,' which includes loss of concentration and memory), as well as pain and aches at different sites (including headache), cough, change in smell or taste, and diarrhea," the study said.
The syndrome has also been referenced as "long-haul COVID" or "post-COVID syndrome" for patients who have been infected with COVID-19 but continue to experience long-term side effects and symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic.
"Estimates show that 10%–30% of people who become infected with COVID-19 will end up coming down with long-haul COVID," says Dr. Greg Vanichkachorn, medical director of Mayo Clinic's COVID Activity Rehabilitation Program.
