Doctor Rachel L. Levine, from the US Department of Health, mentions in the Jama on Wednesday (3) that Covid-19 carriers have shown, since the beginning of the pandemic, different patterns of recovery from the infection.

Some patients had similar symptoms in a variety of conditions, but the virus can affect all organ systems.

Thus, they can manifest as new-onset disease, cardiac changes, diabetes, kidney disease, hematological disorders, neurological and mental health problems.

The author cites a study this year by the CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) that included 63.4 million people.

It concluded that 1 in 5 Covid-19 survivors aged between 18 and 64 years and 1 in 4 survivors over 65 years old had some illness related to Covid-19 infection.

Levine concludes that the long-term Covid and the aftermath of the pandemic will continue to affect patients and families.
