“A new study reveals that people who had two COVID-19 infections were more than twice as likely—and those who had three or more COVID-19 infections were almost four times more likely—to report #LongCovid as those with one infection.” Screenshot of an article headline from CIDRAP that reads “COVID-19 reinfection ups risk of long Covid, new data shows”   Date: September 26, 2024
"The study involved 3,382 global survey respondents and was conducted by researchers with @patientled on #LongCovid. It was published this week on Research Square, which is the preprint service of the Nature Portfolio." cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/covid…
"They also noted that the odds of both severe fatigue and post-exertional malaise, both of which can be quite debilitating, increased with reinfections.

Fatigue severity also increased with re-infections. As did the odds of functional limitations, such as bathing and dressing"
"The researchers also noted that the number of pre-infection vaccines and boosters cut the risk of #LongCovid, but their efficacy was diminished by reinfections.."
Thank you @canoester & @CIDRAP for covering this critical research on #LongCovid
