The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that COVID-19 patients are about four times more likely to develop chronic fatigue syndrome than someone who hasn’t been infected with the virus.
According to a federal study published this week, CDC officials looked at health records from the University of Washington, evaluating some 4,500 patients who had COVID-19 between February 2020 and February 2021. Researchers evaluated their health data over about 11.4 months on average, and their health information was compared with people who never had COVID-19 with similar characteristics.
