Five Years Post-Pandemic: Here’s What We’ve Learned About Long COVID | Mount Sinai Today
Is there a clear definition for long COVID today?
Physicians now have clear clinical guidelines and criteria for diagnosing long COVID. According to the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, long COVID is an infection-associated chronic condition whereby somebody who has survived an acute infection with SARS-CoV-2—the virus that causes COVID-19—fails to return to their pre-infection health status within a period of three months.
Long COVID symptoms can present in different ways:
Continuous, where symptoms remain constant and do not go away
Progressive, where symptoms worsen over time
Relapsing and remitting, where a patient can feel good for a while, and then have a period of feeling very poorly, and back and forth

Long COVID: major findings, mechanisms and recommendations - Nature Reviews Microbiology
Long COVID is an often debilitating illness of severe symptoms that can develop during or following COVID-19. In this Review, Davis, McCorkell, Vogel and Topol explore our knowledge of long COVID and highlight key findings, including potential mechanisms, the overlap with other conditions and potential treatments. They also discuss challenges and recommendations for long COVID research and care.
Long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. More than 200 symptoms have been identified with impacts on multiple organ systems. At least 65 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have long COVID, with cases increasing daily. Biomedical research has made substantial progress in identifying various pathophysiological changes and risk factors and in characterizing the illness; further, similarities with other viral-onset illnesses such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have laid the groundwork for research in the field

Tiredness experienced by Long-COVID patients has a physical cause
Researchers from Amsterdam UMC and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) have discovered that the persistent fatigue in patients with long-COVID has a biological cause, namely mitochondria in muscle cells that produce less energy than in healthy patients. The results of the study were published today in Nature Communications.
Clinical Overview of Long COVID
Provides clinical information, current guidance, research, and resources for Long COVID.
Long COVID, also known as Post-COVID Conditions (PCC), is an infection-associated chronic condition that can occur after SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19, and is present for at least 3 months as a continuous, relapsing and remitting, or progressive disease state that affects one or more organ systems
Hoezo, long covid niet objectiveerbaar??
Recent ontving ik het verslag van de verzekeringsarts die mij had beoordeeld in het kader van gedeeltelijke arbeidsongeschiktheid. Eén zin uit het rapport viel mij in het bijzonder op: ‘Voor zover een psychische aandoening te objectiveren valt, kan worden gesteld dat ik voldoende aanleiding heb gevonden bij mijn onderzoek om de psychische diagnose te bevestigen. Objectivering van de postcovidklachten is niet mogelijk.’
