Profiling post-COVID-19 condition across different variants of SARS-CoV-2: a prospective longitudinal study in unvaccinated wild-type, unvaccinated alpha-variant, and vaccinated delta-variant populations

Self-reported symptom studies rapidly increased understanding of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic and enabled monitoring of long-term effects of COVID-19 outside hospital settings. Post-COVID-19 condition presents as heterogeneous profiles, which need characterisation to enable personalised patient care.

A new study recently published in The Lancet compares Long COVID manifestations caused by different SARS-CoV-2 variants (wild-type, Alpha, and Delta) among unvaccinated and vaccinated populations, aiming to describe post-COVID-19 condition profiles by viral variant and vaccination status.
