Why don’t all #LongCOVID studies tell the same story?
Dr Odilia Corneth explains why different patient groups may show different biological patterns, and why disease duration matters.
Understanding these differences could be key to more targeted treatments.

What happens when recovery remains out of reach?
Dr Odelia Corneth followed severely affected #LongCOVID patients for ~2½ years. Many had PEM, were homebound and functioning at just 20–30% of their pre-COVID level.
Only a handful showed improvement.
