Rheumatologists Concerned by Broad Long COVID Definition

Rheumatologists Concerned by Broad Long COVID Definition

Publication date: Feb 14, 2025

Many conditions, including rheumatologic conditions, preexisted COVID and are not uniquely attributable to prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. If that person walks in the door with a new diagnosis, how do we apply these criteria to those patients? Does every person with new-onset diabetes have long COVID because they had COVID? Although we have raised important concerns, we admit that we do not have the answers to these important questions. However, the committee, as with all National Academies committees, concluded its work with the release of its report. You don’t really have to prove that you have COVID, and then a disease arises at some timepoint. It doesn’t say 30 days or 30 months or 30 yearsIt arises at some point in time.
