DETROIT – Why do some COVID patients continue to suffer from symptoms months after being infected?
They hope to determine why so-called “long haulers” are still suffering and what can be done to help them.
“The symptoms of this include fatigue, shortness of breath, sleep disorders, fevers, GI symptoms, anxiety and depression.
AdFauci said that around 30 percent of the patients who are enrolled at the University of Washington reported persistent symptoms for as long as nine months after illness.
The new study will try to answer questions that include what makes people vulnerable to suffering long-haul symptoms and what’s the underlying biological cause of the prolonged symptoms.
