Abstract
For some that were infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), symptoms of the virus remain long after their initial illness, in what is known as ‘long COVID’. The term ‘long COVID’ was first coined by Elisa Perego, who talked about her experiences with lingering COVID-19 symptoms after her recovery on Twitter [1]. Medically, a person is given the diagnosis of long COVID-19 if their symptoms last for four weeks and cannot be explained by any other cause [2]. Currently, it is unknown why this illness occurs in some patients, but not others. Those with long COVID tend to experience a variety of symptoms, including brain fog. Brain fog, medically known as clouding of consciousness [3], is used to describe difficulties focusing and thinking that is sluggish [4]. While the relation between COVID and brain fog is currently unknown, what we know now about brain fog can help us to figure out why this link occurs and ways to treat this.
