Researchers have examined hundreds of patients
Long Covid has three different types and each one has its own list of symptoms, scientists say. The Telegraph reports the condition has long been hard for clinicians to define because of a vast number of wide-ranging symptoms, with recent work claiming there are more than 60 different manifestations of the disease, including hair loss and loss of libido.
with long Covid, which was defined by the study authors as suffering symptoms for at least 84 days after infection. The study claims there is a neurological arm of long Covid, a respiratory branch and the third form is a diverse range of more severe and wide-ranging symptoms. The final group’s symptoms included heart palpitations, muscle ache and pain, changes in skin and hair, as well as “debilitating multiorgan symptoms”, King’s College said. But researchers said these three subtypes were evident in all variants but were unable to put a percentage risk on each one.
First author Dr Liane Canas, from King’s College London, said: “This is the first study looking at subgroups of patients with specific post-Covid profiles and the effect of vaccination, prior to infection, to symptom profile. Given the time-series component, our study is relevant for post-Covid prognostication, indicating how long certain symptoms can last."
