Mild COVID-19 induces prolonged immune responseIn patients with mild COVID-19, immune responses last months and possibly longer, researchers found. But a study from China last month on 349 COVID-19 patients, which has not yet undergone peer review, found similar immune response patterns at six months regardless of symptom severity. Test results at three months were unchanged from results at one month, so her team believes this is a lasting response. COVID-19 survivors at risk for psychiatric disordersA study of more than 62,000 COVID-19 survivors has found significant risks for mental health issues. Researchers found that one in 16 COVID-19 patients who never had a mental illness will be diagnosed with one within three months after infection.
