Scientists are now sharing a first look at the data they had collected from adults with long COVID-19, and they found some interesting patterns.
Some of what they reported the public had heard before, and some was new and somewhat surprising.Take the symptoms. The characteristic loss of smell and taste was top of the list, along with a debilitating fatigue and inability to tolerate any form of exercise.people with long COVID-19, as well as several more surprising symptoms like diminished sexual desire, and a constant feeling of thirst.referring to the symptom of thirst.
PASC stands for Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and is the term researchers use for long COVID-19. The symptoms are also crucial for later studies that will look for chemical markers in body tissue or fluids which occur during the initial phase of the COVID-19 infection and predict whether a person has a high risk of developing long-COVID down the road.“So it actually helps us from a lot of angles for future studies,” McComsey said.
Those results haven’t all been analyzed yet, but eventually they could help doctors understand not just which symptoms - like frequent thirst - constitute a long COVID-19 diagnosis, but what causes patients to feel thirsty and how to treat it.
