Andrew 01/28/2022
the international definition of long-term new crown refers to a new crown patient who has at least one symptom for four weeks or more after the virus has been clearedaccording to research data from the faculty of medicine of the university of hong kong 76 of covid-19 patients developed at least one symptom within 6 months of recoverythe most common symptoms included fatigue poor memory hair loss anxiety and sleep problems
the research team at the university of hong kong found that the intestinal microecology of patients with new crown was abnormal with significantly fewer good bacteria and more bad bacteriapeople without sequelae on the other hand had a richer and more diverse gut microbiome similar to those who had never been infectedThe team also found that the “long new crown” patients were no different from those without sequelae in terms of age, gender, other diseases, use of antibiotics and antiviral drugs, and the severity of infection with new coronary pneumonia.this is the main cause of the long new crown
The research team further investigated the association between gut bacterial imbalances and different categories of COVID-19 sequelae, including respiratory, nervous, digestive, skin (hair loss), musculoskeletal, and fatigue.the results of the study found that as many as 81 kinds of intestinal bacteria were associated with various sequelae of the new crown and many of them closely related to three or more persistent symptoms
