Long-lasting neurological symptoms after COVID-19 in chronic disease patients in Jamaica

Updated

Abstract

A sample of Jamaican patients with non-communicable diseases revealed a range of reported symptoms associated with COVID-19 infection.

  • Dominant symptoms reported include respiratory issues, fatigue, and loss of taste or smell.
  • Sociodemographic factors such as age and underlying health conditions may influence symptom prevalence.
  • Laboratory determined infection status provides a basis for understanding the relationship between COVID-19 and reported symptoms.
  • Findings highlight the need for further investigation into the long-term effects of COVID-19 in specific populations.
