Coronavirus is ruthless even for those who recover, especially women

And an Irish study showed that there is one of the symptoms of the long-term pandemic that women are likely to suffer in particular, as 128 patients infected with the virus were tested inside St. James Hospital in Dublin, and half of them, 52.3% of them, reported suffering from continuous stress, even after 10 Weeks of supposed recovery from infection, regardless of the severity of their Corona case.

But while these long-term symptoms of "fatigue and fatigue" could clearly affect anyone, in that study they were more prevalent among the women subject to it, as just over half of the patients were about 54% of the women, making up 67% of Those who have reported persistent fatigue.

According to the study, whether or not the participants were admitted to the hospital due to the Corona virus, this does not affect their likelihood of being fatigued, noting that only 71 out of 128 participants were admitted to the hospital, while 57 of them were not admitted.

In turn, said co-author of the study, Liam Townsend, an infectious disease physician at St James' Hospital, in a statement: "It was found that fatigue occurs independently of admission to hospital and affects the two groups equally."

This is not the first time that a similar respiratory virus causes extreme fatigue. In the wake of the severe acute respiratory syndrome "SARS" epidemic, which was also caused by the Corona virus, a study published in 2011 in the journal "BMC Neurology" reviewed a subgroup of patients from Canada who They suffered from such constant fatigue and stress, that they were not even able to return to work after a year of their illness, and of the 22 patients who suffered from this, 19 of them were also women.

The study confirmed that there are huge numbers of patients recovering from SARS-2 infection all over the world who are still suffering .. The long burden of fatigue after infection will weaken the quality of life, and it will have a great impact on individuals, employers and health care systems.
