Sex differences in postacute infection syndromes
“Postacute infection syndromes like Long Covid disproportionately affect females, differing in prevalence, symptoms, and potential causes from males. This Viewpoint highlights these sex differences, gaps in current understanding, and the critical need for sex-based research.”

“Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, director of the Clinical Epidemiology Center and chief of the Research and Education Service at the VA St. Louis Health Care System, said his team and others did similar research earlier in the pandemic, ‘for peanuts, a few hundred thousand dollars that generated evidence much more robustly, faster, years ahead of RECOVER, for a small, small, small, small fraction of the funds.’ At this point, more than four years in, ‘NIH should be laser-focused, laser-focused on finding treatment for long COVID,’”

Weathered COVID before? Scientists say every new infection puts you at risk of getting long COVID

“Every time you get the virus is another chance to end up with Long Covid.

‘It gets really ugly very quickly,’ said Arijit Chakravarty, a COVID researcher in Massachusetts, ‘because what it means is that if you wait long enough, everyone is at risk of getting it.’”

‘We just want to be heard’: Long COVID patients still feel invisible - The Boston Globe

“‘We just want to be heard’: Long COVID patients still feel invisible Scores of long COVID patients reached out to the Globe after a recent story on doctors finding new ways to manage the condition…more than 75 Boston Globe readers who reached out to share their experiences after reading a front-page story profiling a handful of doctors, including at the Brigham, who are using experimental treatments to help patients suffering from the little understood disease. Long COVID afflicts an estimated 7 percent of the population, or close to 18 million Americans.”

Many People with Long COVID Have Signs of Persistent SARS-CoV-2 Proteins, New Findings Show
“Studies have shown that for some people, SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t completely clear out after acute infection. Scientists have observed signs that the virus may persist in various parts of the body, and many suspect that this lingering virus, or remnants consisting of SARS-CoV-2 protein, may be causing Long COVID symptoms in some individuals. Now, in a new study supported by RECOVER, scientists found that people with Long COVID were twice as likely to have these viral remnants in their blood as people with no lingering symptoms.”

Western researchers closing in on treatment for long COVID…The CEO of Google founded the Schmidt Institute for LongCovid.

“SILC-supported researchers are studying the symptoms of 6,000 patients & looking for clues in their blood—particularly the behavior of thousands of proteins & hundreds of biological markers—to determine the pathology of LongCovid & why & how it persists…

In the future, SILC & its research partners .. aim to use this information to find therapeutics & improved tests for LongCovid.”
