Long COVIDlong tail covidPost-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC)post-acute COVID-19 and ongoing COVID are terms used to describe a group of long term health problems that are found in a significant minority of people who developed COVID-19 and remain ill a number of weeks or months later.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Pathophysiology[edit | edit source]

Infection and immunity[edit | edit source]

A range of antibodies have been found in patients with persistent post-acute COVID symptoms. Elevated G-protein coupled receptor autoantibodies have been found.[1] One study founded elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) titles in 43.6% of long COVID patients twelve months after symptom onset.[2]

Long COVID may be associated herpesvirus reactivation such as Epstein-Barr Virus,[3] which has been shown to cause elevations of certain G-protein coupled receptor autoantibody types.[4][5][6][7][8]

Neurological and neuropsychiatric[edit | edit source]

Cardiovascular[edit | edit source]

Pulmonary[edit | edit source]

In a single cardiopulmonary exercise test, Post-COVID-19 patients exhibited markedly reduced peak exercise aerobic capacity (VO2) compared to controls and impaired oxygen extraction, even in those without cardiopulmonary disease.[9]

Comparison to other conditions[edit | edit source]

Findings Long COVID Post-acute SARS ME/CFS POTS MCAS
G-protein coupled receptor autoantibodies β2- and α1-adrenoceptors, angiotensin II AT1-, muscarinic M2-, MAS-, nociceptin- and ETA-receptors M3 and M4 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, as well as ß2 adrenergic receptors α1, β1 and β2 adrenergic receptor autoantibodies

Post-SARS syndrome[edit | edit source]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

Postviral fatigue syndrome[edit | edit source]

Chronic fatigue and Idiopathic chronic fatigue[edit | edit source]

POTS[edit | edit source]

MCAS[edit | edit source]

Post-Ebola syndrome[edit | edit source]

Chronic Epstein-Barr virus[edit | edit source]

Alzheimer's disease[edit | edit source]

Traumatic Brain Injury[edit | edit source]
