Six years after SARS-CoV-2 emerged, researchers are no longer asking whether patients are sick. They are trying to understand why the same infection can leave one person with debilitating fatigue, […]
COVID may reactivate dormant viruses hidden in the bodies of otherwise healthy people
McKenzie Beard A new study suggests that COVID-19 can flip the switch on long-dormant viruses quietly hiding inside the bodies of people who were otherwise healthy before they fell ill. Researchers at […]
COVID-19 and Cerebral Microclots: Their Role in Persistent Neurological Dysfunction, Cognitive Impairment, and Long COVID
Review Article John Murphy, CEO, COVID-19 Long haul Foundation Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is increasingly recognized as a multisystem vascular disease […]
Long COVID, COVID-19 Vaccination, and the Emergence of Absence Seizures
Abstract The neurological sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection have emerged as among the most disabling manifestations of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), commonly known as Long COVID. While cognitive dysfunction, dysautonomia, […]

Long-COVID prevalence may vary by COVID-19 variant, time since infection
Mary Van Beusekom, MS The first known meta-analysis of how SARS-CoV-2 variant type and time since infection influence long-COVID symptoms ties Omicron to brain fog and paresthesia (numbness and tingling), while earlier […]
A region-specific brain dysfunction underlies cognitive impairment in long COVID brain fog
Jinhao Yang, Shaojiong Zhou, Zhibin Wang, et. L. Long COVID “brain fog” is a common and debilitating subjective syndrome often associated with persistent cognitive impairment after COVID-19 infection. Here we identify a specific […]
