Analysis: a new study has identified 62 symptoms associated with Long Covid, including some previously less well known ones By Shamil Haroon, University of Birmingham and Anuradhaa Subramanian, University of Birmingham Commonly reported Long Covid symptoms, such as fatigue and shortness of breath, have a significant effect on people's daily activities, quality of life and capacity to work.
But Long Covid symptoms are much broader than this. In a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine, we identified 62 symptoms associated with Long Covid.
We also explored some of the factors linked to an increased risk of developing Long Covid. Much of the initial work undertaken to understand Long Covid has been among people who were hospitalised, but most people infected with Covid have been managed in primary care.
We therefore know relatively little about Long Covid in people with typically milder initial infections. We need your consent to load this rte-player contentWe use rte-player to manage extra content that can set cookies on your device and collect data about your activity.
