Northwestern Medicine Study Gives Clues About How Long COVID-19 Symptoms Can Linger

A new study from Northwestern Medicine gives more clues about just how long COVID-19 symptoms can linger.

A doctor told CBS 2’s Jackie Kostek that most people who have lingering symptoms will get better within four to six weeks of having COVID. But for some, those symptoms persists, sometimes for months, and as dcotors are learning, sometimes well over a year.

Koralnik is the chief of neuro-infectious disease at Northwestern. He said the team is working on a follow up to a study first published in February of 2021, which tracked 100 of the clinic’s first long-haul patients. Of the patients tracked, 70% were women, the majority white, with an average age of 43. They had not been hospitalized with the virus but had long COVID symptoms develop after, including brain fog, headache, fatigue and issues with smell and taste.

Because there is no one-size-fits-all diagnosis, Koralnik said possible treatments vary by symptom and patient. As for the research suggesting that getting vaccinated or boosted after infection could help long-haulers recover, Koralnik said he has not found the vaccine to cure or worsen long COVID in his patients.
