Do not remember a page that has just been read, and the inability to perform the tasks that were routine, insomnia, taste and smell changes, and depression … And anxiety. For two million people in Spain and other millions around the world, Covid-19 is not only a dark time, but a fact still appears every day under the continuous name Covid. For a period of five years, science seeks to find explanations for a disease that punishes the quality of the life of those who suffer and generate misunderstanding about their patients.
The continuous covid manifests itself with respiratory, nervous symptoms, or digestive or general, such as fatigue and fatigue, which is preserved for at least three months. 23 % of people with SARS-COV-2 between 2021 and 2023 they developed the continuous Covid and in 56 % of them the symptoms were preserved for at least two years, according to a study conducted by the ISGLOAL Center, in cooperation with the German Trias I Pujol Research Institute, and participated in the BMC magazine.
This research refers to the risk factors for the continuous Covid, such as a woman, who suffers from a serious Covid-19 infection and a previous chronic disease, such as asthma. Also people with obesity or high levels of IGG antibodies before vaccination are more likely to develop continuous Covid.
More risks for the first time
Researchers have identified three clinical sub -types of continuous Covid, depending on whether symptoms are nervous and muscular symptoms, respiratory, or dangerous and participating in multiple organs. They also discovered that the people who were injured in the first part of the epidemic, before January 2022, became the dominant variable, were more dangerous to the development of a continuous kwid.
Scientists explain that there are protection factors, such as a healthy lifestyle (regular physical activity and a suitable sleep pattern) and above all, vaccination before infection. The complete guideline principle of vaccination before early infection is related to a decrease in the risk of continuous Covid infection and a decrease in the number and density of symptoms, and a study conducted by the University of Navara clinic published in the immunity magazine concludes. Specifically, according to this investigation, people who were vaccinated in full style had nearly half the risk of continuous Covid development.
At the same time, regret that society “passed a page” about this disease “without realizing that a large part of the citizens were unable to restore health.” Independent, national and international societies regret that in these five years focused on clinical trials that focused on treatments, they have not been launched and the student to benefit from the subordination law, adaptations in the workplace or different educational paths for children and adolescents.
Between 10 % and 15 % follow
“The ongoing Covid has not fallen into forgetting because, in order to happen, at some point it should have existed,” says Dr. Lorenzo Armantos, Ricop’s collaborator, the Spanish network of research on Kovid. The toilets that continue to study the disease suffer that between 10 % and 15 % of those with Covid are now suffering from continuous Covid, although the record that explains them has not been clarified.
“There is a part of the health sector that does not believe in the disease and this is why it is difficult to identify patients,” Armenteros, who cites other problems. “Sometimes, the continuous Covid can be confused with some other diseases,” adds this specialist, who fought from the beginning to recognize the effect of the disease “as a problem of public, medical and social health.”
Part of the hospital units that have been allocated to the already continuous Covid and those that are still open to do so for the will of professionals. Clinical experiments with medications do not indicate the origin of the disease, but to relieve symptoms. “We must insist on improving research and taking the departments to consider patients,” says Armenteros.
