A small study of people who got mild cases of Covid-19 in Australia has found some had "blood biochemical abnormalities" and more than half experienced symptoms six months after being infected. "The results show that there are persisting metabolic and inflammatory changes in patients after acute Covid-19 infection, which relate to some Long Covid symptoms," Prof Yeap said. "This is an important step towards better understanding the long-term health impacts of Covid-19, which would help us provide better care for those affected."
