Long COVID continues to affect millions of people years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this video, Dr. Gary Kaplan explains what we currently know about Long COVID symptoms, causes, and emerging treatment approaches, six years after the pandemic.
Also known as post-COVID conditions, Long COVID can impact multiple systems in the body—including the brain, immune system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system.
Dr. Kaplan discusses:
🦠 Common Long COVID symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation
🦠 Why some patients develop persistent symptoms months after COVID-19 infection
🦠 The role of the immune system and chronic inflammation
🦠 What research is revealing about the biological mechanisms behind Long COVID
🦠 How physicians are approaching care for patients with complex post-viral illness
As we reflect on the anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding Long COVID remains critical for patients, clinicians, and researchers alike.
