Many months have passed since its first appearance in China in mid-December of last year, but the emerging corona virus continues to baffle scientists with its characteristics and what is its existence.

After previous studies confirmed that the epidemic leaves chronic effects on infected people even after their recovery, the degree of its impact varies from person to person according to several factors, including age or suffering from an underlying medical condition, a recent study revealed that there is a long-term pandemic symptom that you are likely to suffer from. Women in particular.

But while these long-term symptoms of "fatigue and fatigue" could clearly affect anyone, in that study they were more prevalent among the women subject to it, as slightly more than half of the patients were about 54% of the women, making up 67% of Those who have reported persistent fatigue.

It happens independently

According to the study, whether or not the participants were admitted to the hospital due to the Corona virus, this does not affect their likelihood of being exhausted, noting that only 71 out of 128 participants were admitted to the hospital, while 57 of them were not admitted.

In details, a recent Irish study, which conducted tests on 128 patients infected with the emerging coronavirus inside St. James' Hospital in Dublin, indicated that more than half of these participants, 52.3%, reported suffering from constant stress, even after 10 weeks of supposed recovery from infection , Regardless of the severity of their Corona case.

In turn, said co-author of the study, Liam Townsend, an infectious disease physician at St. James Hospital in a statement: "It was found that fatigue occurs independently of admission to the hospital and affects the two groups equally."

A black history of tiredness with viruses

This is not the first time that a similar respiratory virus causes extreme fatigue. In the wake of the severe acute respiratory syndrome "SARS" epidemic, which was also caused by the Corona virus, a study published in 2011 in the journal "BMC Neurology" reviewed a subgroup of patients from Canada who They suffered from such constant fatigue and stress, that they were not even able to return to work after a year of their illness, and of the 22 patients who suffered from this, 19 of them were also women.

The study confirmed that there are huge numbers of patients recovering from SARS-2 infection all over the world who are still suffering .. The long burden of fatigue after infection will weaken the quality of life, and it will have a great impact on individuals, employers and healthcare systems.
