Long Covid

Dr. med. Jördis Frommhold

The New Public Health Problem

Long Covid – the new public health problem: recovered does not mean healthy! Even if we do get the global pandemic under control with vaccination campaigns, many people will still be suffering from the long-term health effects of surviving a Covid infection.

In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland alone, the number of people suffering from long-term impairments is approaching half a million. Long Covid has a range of symptoms. Those affected often suffer from pathological fatigue, deteriorate after exertion, and are sensitive to light and sound. They experience pain, sleep disorders, concentration and memory problems, circulation problems, and flu-like symptoms. Expertly and in layman's terms, this book explains clinical pictures, the course of the illness, the societal and economic consequences, what treatments are available, and where help can be found.


"Long Covid syndrome is presenting us with completely new challenges. Jördis Frommhold is one of the leading physicians in Long Covid research. She understands how to convey knowledge clearly and understandably." Prof. Otmar Wiestler, President of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers
