"Since the COVID-19 pandemic began almost three years ago, scientists have
learned that an initial infection can lead to short- and long-term health risks
affecting nearly every organ system in the body. They’ve also determined that
people can get COVID-19 a second or a third time, despite acquiring natural
antibodies after the first infection and receiving vaccination and booster
shots.
Now, a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and
the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care system shows the health consequences
of reinfection. The researchers found that repeat SARS-CoV-2 infections
contribute significant additional risk of adverse health conditions in multiple
organ systems.
Such outcomes include hospitalization; disorders affecting the lungs, heart,
brain, and the body’s blood, musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal systems; and
even death. Reinfection also contributes to diabetes, kidney disease and mental
health issues.
The findings are published Nov. 10 in
Nature Medicine."
