Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Oct 6 2023 A new study from Queen Mary University of London, published in The Lancet's EClinicalMedicine, has found that people may experience long-term symptoms -;or 'long colds'-;after acute respiratory infections that test negative for COVID-19.
The research, funded by Barts Charity, compared the prevalence and severity of long-term symptoms after an episode of COVID-19 vs. an episode of another acute respiratory infection that tested negative for COVID-19. Those recovering from COVID-19 were more likely to experience light-headedness or dizziness and problems with taste and smell compared to those who had a non-COVID-19 respiratory infection.
Our findings shine a light not only on the impact of long Covid on people's lives, but also other respiratory infections. A lack of awareness-;or even the lack of a common term -;prevents both reporting and diagnosis of these conditions. Giulia Vivaldi, researcher on COVIDENCE UK from Queen Mary University of London and the lead author of the study
