An American study revealed that 23% of patients with long Covid had new symptoms.
We know more about the long covid symptoms thanks to a new study conducted by the University of Southern California (USC) published in the journal Scientific Reports.
From March 2020 to March 2021, USC researchers invited citizens to answer questions about Covid every two weeks. Their final sample included 308 non-hospitalized infected people who had been interviewed a month before, at the time of infection and 12 weeks later.
What are the new symptoms of long Covid?
After taking pre-existing symptoms into account, approximately 23% of participants said they experienced new symptoms during an infection that lasted more than 12 weeks, which corresponds to the World Health Organization’s definition of long Covid.
The new symptoms the most commonly experienced by patients with long Covid were mheadaches at 22%, runny or stuffy nose at 19%, abdominal discomfort at 18%, fatigue at 17%, and diarrhea at 13%.
