With a recent surge in influenza, COVID-19, norovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and other respiratory viruses, it's critical to pay close attention to your heart and symptoms—especially if you have heart disease or the risk factors for it.

A new study based on German long-COVID patients shows 68% experience the same symptoms in year 2 as in year 1 of the chronic condition. The study, published yesterday in PLoS Medicine, adds to the current understanding of the long-term prognosis of post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS).

Jan. 20, 2025, marks five years since the CDC reported the first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 on American soil.

Risk of long COVID is higher in women and a link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and development of ME/CFS is shown, according to new studies.

Historically, COVID-19 symptoms have been fevers or chills, cough, shortness of breath, cough, congestion or a runny nose, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, fatigue and body aches, headache, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea, according to the CDC.

“Overall, female sex was associated with a 1.31-times higher risk of long COVID,” researchers said. “In age-stratified analyses, female sex was associated with the highest risk of long COVID among adults aged 40 to 54 years followed by those aged 55 years or older.”

Over 160,000 people this season have landed in the hospital from flu complications, CDC estimates. More than 6,600 have died. Here's the symptoms.

A new study reveals a surprising result: women may be at greater risk for developing long-term health effects from COVID-19. Although numerous studies have shown men have more severe acute COVID cases and higher mortality than women,

Vaccination prior to COVID-19 infection does not significantly affect neurologic symptoms in patients with long COVID.

Two-thirds of people who have post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS), which is also known as long COVID, have symptoms that include poorer cognitive function into the second year of illness, a new study published Thursday in PLOS Medicine reveals.

The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is reporting an increase in respiratory illnesses across Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties this winter.

COVID-19 vaccination reduces severity of acute disease, but does not decrease neurological manifestations of Long COVID.
