Many people who have had COVID 19 continue to experience symptoms long after they have recovered from the acute infection. This study will examine the clinical symptoms of people with "Long COVID" and measure various markers of inflammation in their blood.
Patients who attend the Long Covid Recovery Clinic at Huntington Hospital will be offered participation in the study. After giving written informed consent, their medical history along with a description of clinical symptoms given through an extensive questionnaire will be accessed. Venous blood will be collected as a baseline and then at follow up visits (as dictated by changes in clinical symptomatology) for evaluation of corollary immune parameters. Patients will be followed at a minimum of every 2 months for 2 years.
