A new study shows the health consequences of repeat COVID-19 infections, which contribute significant additional risk of adverse health conditions in multiple organ systems, with outcomes including hospitalization and even death.pandemic began almost three years ago, researchers have discovered that an initial infection can lead to short- and long-term health risks affecting nearly every organ system in the body.
The findings, by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System, were published on November 10 in the journalZiyad Al-Aly, MD, a clinical epidemiologist at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care system, examines data from a new study.
Limiting exposure to the virus is especially important as the U.S. heads into the winter months, with new variants emerging, mutating and already causing an upswing in infections in some parts of the country, Al-Aly said. “People should do their best to prevent repeat infections by masking, for example, getting all of their eligible boosters, staying home when sick. Also, get a flu shot to prevent illness.
Statistical modeling was used to examine the health risks of repeat COVID-19 infections within the first 30 days after contracting the virus and up to six months after.
