People with prior illness and long-standing health conditions are more likely to report a longer duration of symptoms after the first signs of COVID-19 infection. (kcl.ac.uk)
The study from King's College London, which is published on the pre-print server MedRxiv and has not been peer-reviewed, shows that while two thirds of individuals with post-COVID illness were healthy before infection, individuals with long illness duration were significantly more likely to have similar symptoms 1-2 months before developing COVID-19. (kcl.ac.uk)
Most people with COVID-19 recover completely within a few days or weeks. (kcl.ac.uk)
They found that two-thirds of participants with long illness duration had been well before they experienced COVID-19. (kcl.ac.uk)
This suggests that at least for some individuals, their long symptoms after COVID-19 might be due to other underlying serious illnesses, such as asthma or lung disease, rather than due to SARS-CoV-2 infection itself. (kcl.ac.uk)
For many, their symptoms are new, and represent an ongoing legacy after their COVID-19 illness. (kcl.ac.uk)
But for others, their symptoms may be ongoing manifestations of a prior non-COVID illness, such as asthma or depression. (kcl.ac.uk)
She added: "If all long duration symptoms after COVID-19 are blamed automatically on SARS-CoV-2 infection, then we will miss the opportunity to treat other illnesses appropriately, and to help patients recover as expeditiously as possible. (kcl.ac.uk)
