On May 22, the channel CNEWS broadcast a subject to say the least appealing.
Entitled “These Patients Who Don’t Cure,” the chapter addressed growing concerns about several patients whose symptoms suddenly come back after several weeks of healing.

This phenomenon would particularly affect women around their forties. It would result in intense fatigue and muscle pain a month after the first symptoms. Genevière, a 36-year-old sportswoman victim of these symptoms, agreed to testify for CNEWS via videoconference. The young woman says she is prone to “Chest tightness”, “Burns and spikes in the heart and lungs” or even to “Tachycardia” to the point of not knowing how to stand.
Doctors are not yet able to explain why patients who are apparently “cured” of Covid-19 and tested negative, finally see their symptoms reappear a few weeks later. Two studies have just been launched, one on the resurgence and the other on the persistence of symptoms in order to unravel this mystery. The infectiologist at the Hôtel-Dieu in Paris, Dominique Salmon-Ceron, recently launched an appeal to the patients concerned in The Parisian this Monday, May 22.

This particular case would affect only 5% of the population. The aim of these two studies is to understand, initially, the maintenance of symptoms over time. “I am thinking of fatigue which can last more than a month, chest tightness, this feeling of weight on the chest or even anosmia, that is to say the loss of smell. It starts to subside after 5 to 10 days, but we see patients, even with mild forms, in whom it persists for several weeks ”, says Dominique Salmon-Ceron at Parisian. In a second step, the second study tries to understand not the persistence of the symptoms but their sudden recurrence. The latter could be due to a “Poor immune response” and was seen in five of 55 patients in an Asian study.
