| Core Tip |
Long coronavirus disease (COVID) or post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (PASC) can lead to prolonged and debilitating symptoms beyond 30 d after infection. Neurological manifestations are prevalent, with encephalopathy, myalgia, headache, and anosmia being common symptoms. Females seem to be more susceptible to long COVID, and severe disease is associated with longer or more frequent neurological symptoms. Gastrointestinal (GI) sequelae are also reported, with symptoms like difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain being common. Anxiety, depression, dysphagia, headache, and fatigue are among the top symptoms observed, with potential neurological and GI associations. However, there is a need for further research to explore the underlying causes and potential discrepancies in symptom reporting among different populations affected by long COVID/PASC. |
