Persistent Markers of Infection Tied to Higher Likelihood of Long COVID Symptoms

Publication date: Oct 16, 2024

Eighteen percent of participants reported no ongoing symptoms and antigen was detected in 21 percent of them. At more than one month postinfection, 82 percent of participants reported at least one of the 34 PASC symptoms examined. The highest prevalence of PASC symptoms was seen for cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, and neurologic symptoms, which were reported in more than half of all participants. The highest proportion of spike-positive samples (20 percent) was seen between four and seven months postinfection. Among these participants, 43 percent were antigen-positive, on average.
