Abstract |
Persistence of COVID-19 symptoms may follow severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. The incidence of long COVID increases with the severity of acute disease, but even mild disease can be associated with sequelae. The symptoms vary widely, with fatigue, shortness of breath, and cognitive dysfunction the most common. Abnormalities of multiple organs have been documented, and histopathology has revealed widespread microthrombi. Elevated levels of complement are present in acute COVID-19 patients and may persist at lower levels in long COVID. Evidence supports complement activation, with endotheliopathy-associated disease as the molecular mechanism causing both acute and long COVID.
