Article Synopsis
- * A study with 30 participants suffering from PCC revealed they had thicker vagus nerves and lower gastrointestinal activity compared to recovered and uninfected individuals, indicating significant nerve dysfunction.
- * Findings suggest that both vagus and phrenic nerve issues play a role in the symptoms of PCC, highlighting the complex nature of this post-viral syndrome.
Background: At least 5-10% of subjects surviving COVID-19 develop the post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) or "Long COVID". The clinical presentation of PCC is heterogeneous, its pathogenesis is being deciphered, and objective, validated biomarkers are lacking. It is unknown if PCC is a single entity or a heterogeneous syndrome with overlapping pathophysiological basis.

The objective of this study is to determine the main clinical characteristics of long COVID in CYP and to investigate the academic, social, and health status impacts of long COVID in this population. An observational, descriptive, and longitudinal study on CYP who presented COVID-19 symptoms for more than twelve weeks after SARS-CoV-2 infection was performed between December 2020 and May 2021.
