Long-COVID, a condition in which the symptoms last for months after SARS-CoV-2 infection, affects approximately 10–20% of people. Researchers have now found a similar condition, called "long flu," wherein people hospitalized with seasonal influenza suffer long-term negative health effects.
Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System compared various factors, including risks of death, hospital admissions and adverse health outcomes involving major organ systems, associated with the viruses causing flu and COVID-19.
