New Developments in Long COVID: Pathophysiology, prevention, and innovative therapies

By Joaquin Wiesenberg

Long COVID is more than just a medical buzzword-it has become a global syndrome affecting millions of people and fundamentally changing our understanding of infectious diseases, chronic health consequences, and societal resilience. This book offers a comprehensive, scientifically sound, and yet generally understandable presentation of the latest findings on Long COVID. It sheds light on the diverse pathophysiological mechanisms - from viral persistence to autoimmunity and vascular damage to neurological changes and microbiome disorders. On this basis, current and future therapeutic approaches are explained: antiviral strategies, immunomodulation, rehabilitation, innovative experimental procedures, and digital technologies. In addition, the work shows the role played by prevention, care concepts, economic analyses, and social conditions. International comparisons highlight differences between health care systems and political strategies in dealing with Long COVID.
