無症狀感染,腦霧長新冠

In this study, patients with Long COVID were compared with those who reported recovering from symptoms within 3 months of the acute phase of COVID-19.

The results suggest a range of functional impairments across different QoL domains are associated with a lack of recovery from COVID-19 within 3 months, and these impairments can be detected at a median of 2 years after initial infection.

While acute infection severity was found to be associated with Long COVID, > 80% of this sample were not hospitalized during the acute phase of infection, underscoring the potential for concerning long-term sequelae even with mild-to-moderately severe infection.

Beyond physical complaints, including fatigue and pain, the Long COVID group showed significantly decreased social function and increased anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.

Prevalence of cognitive decline, fatigue, and pain remained elevated in the Recovered Long COVID group compared with the Without Long COVID group. This may indicate that some domains of Long COVID-related impairment are more amenable to recovery than others.

Recovery from COVID-19 may be Hallucination created by SARS-CoV-2 .
